Aluminium dome
Geodesic Dome features a clear-span, all-aluminum, lightweight, corrosion-resistant structure which sets a new standard for performance in aluminum geodesic domes.
Geodesic Dome’s advanced technology provides excellent benefits. Here’s how:
- Most effective leak-protection solution — Engineered for maximum weather-tightness for both new tanks and retrofits
- Low maintenance cost — Aluminum alloys are corrosion resistant and don’t require painting like steel fixed roofs
- Emissions reduction — reduces wind-induced vapor loss, aids in odor control and provides significant emission credits; for light products such as gasoline, a dome installed over an EFR can cut emissions by over 90%
- In-service installation — Can be erected on the ground beside the tank or on an EFR and lifted into place
- Custom engineered — To accommodate a wide range of spans and loading conditions
Key design features:
- Double-web beam design for excellent torsional strength and stiffness
- Batten bar completely covers gasket to prevent environmental degradation
- Overlapping panels ensure additional protection against weather
- Hub designed with three levels of sealing to ensure maximum leak protection
- Hub can be easily removed for inspection or adjustment of IFR support chains
- Options for fixed or sliding rim connections
- Can easily handle the weight of suspended aluminum internal floating roofs
- Industry-leading 3D design software for maximum accuracy and shorter design time
