BOOK OF QUALITIES (TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS)

Our Book of Qualities is an evolutive document which is reviewed periodically to take into account the various technological, technical and economical developments. Our present edition has been examined by QUALICONSULT (an approved Technical Controller of Insurance Companies) on the 27th of August 1999. This is now the fourth edition since the first one was made in 1988 and it includes all the basic principles as well as our acquired knowledge and expertise .

The TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS are destined at establishing the basic conditions of conception and execution. This is accompanied by an annex to cover all special conditions specific to each project. This annex is given to the contractor responsible for the construction after receipt of a set of blueprints and copy of their insurance policy.

Any modification relating to the materials used in the construction system detailed in the TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS or in the implementation, must be submitted to QUALICONSULT for their review and are then the subject of a new edition of the TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (CCT) after their approval.

Our Book of Qualities is a contractual document. Therefore, it is given a serial number corresponding to a specific project, which can only be given with the express authorization of PIRS SA.

ENGINEERING & DESIGN

All our engineering (calculations, plans, drawings & designs) are strictly performed by an independent engineering firm. This measure assures our clients that there is no possible conflict of interest between the minimum design requirements and the economical aspects of a project.

The engineering of each project is made on a case by case basis and takes into account every factor defining the project.

SAFETY PROCEDURES

Safety of the personnel is at the very heart of our construction procedures and our training. The application of our materials require special safety procedures and we see that our recommendations are strictly followed and matched.

TEN YEAR INSURANCE WARRANTY

Our Quality Insurance program has enabled us to provide our clients with the possibility of obtaining a 10 year insurance warranty on the stability, solidity and waterproofing of our domes by major international insurance companies. This 10 year warranty remains optional for our international clientele but does give our clients the reassurance that our domes benefit from a great reputation.
