– GRAIN STORAGE – UKRAINE |
|
This
grain terminal has been built in the port of Nikolaev between July and December 2003.
It is made of 2 Agridôme® storages of 50,000 t each.
Each building has a diameter of 64.50 m and a height of 32.25 m.
Total capacity 100,000 t calculated for wheat.

At the end of 2002,
Klaipeda Stevedooring Company commissioned this terminal of 3 domes.
These buildings were designed to receive whether fertilizers or wheat.
Their dimensions diameter 45.74 m and height 25.87 m give a total capacity of
102,000 t calculated for fertilizers.

This
project done under "OIL FOR FOOD" UN agreement is the biggest dome storage complex
ever built with 35 domes destined to store a total of 300,000 tons of wheat.
Each dome has a diameter of 35.7 m and a height of 17.85 m.

FM - LEISURE PARK- POLAND |

|
This
project is truly an architectural dream which brought to reality
futuristic ideas. It is composed of 13 domes of all shapes
and sizes that are all inter-related by connecting tunnels.
The domes vary from segments spheres with diameters 13,6 m
to 50 m to geodes with equatorial diameters of 13,6 m.
|
Construction
began in July 2000 and was finished by November of the same
year.

STEVEDORING - ALUMINA STORAGE - CANADA
|
This
is the first alumina dome storage ever built.
This perfect half sphere of 60.4 meters diameter is able to store up to 59,000 tons of alumina.
This dome was designed to store the alumina at an average temperature of 90 degrees
Celsius and to support important loads on top. The area is seismic. |
 |
| Construction
of the dome lasted 12 weeks from August to October 2000. |
SETOMIP,
RECREATIONAL SPACE CENTER - FRANCE
This geode demonstrates again the various architectural
possibilities that can be attained with our domes. The geode
has a diameter of 21 meters and a height of 17 m. |
 |
A
study was conducted at the initial stages of the project development
to determine the feasibility of providing the airform with
this special 'ocean blue' colour. The steel sheets representing
the continents were assembled and fixed to the dome after
the dome was completely solid.
|
| This
dome was completed in 4 weeks. |
| IANSA
- SUGAR STORAGE - CHILLAN - CHILE |
|
This
project consisted in building the world's biggest dome destined
for refined sugar with a capacity of 60,000 metric tons. This
perfect sphere of diameter 60 meters has a vertical wall of
7 meters. The interior of the dome was trowel finished and
a special food approved epoxy paint was applied to the interior
surface of the walls.
|
 |
|
Over
the years, PIRS has truly developed a specialty for sugar
dome storages with over 400,000 tons of storage built for
the refined sugar industry.
Construction
of the dome lasted 12 weeks.

DURAND ALIZE - PUBLIC AQUARIUM - FRANCE |
 |
This
project was undoubtedly one of our most challenging. With
a length of 72 meters, a maximum height of 12 meters and a
maximum width of 30 meters, this structure was designed to
take the shape of a fish. We had to adapt our DômeConcept®
technology to consider the array of moments that such a structure
generated. It is definitely one of the most unique buildings
built to date using this technology and demonstrates again
the various forms that can be developed with our inflatable
structures.

| Construction
of the dome lasted 10 weeks. |

BAZA MASOWA - FERTILIZER STORAGE - POLAND |
|
This
4 dome complex comprises 2 domes with geometry 42 m ×
25 m and 2 smaller domes with geometry 32 m × 20 m.
They were designed to store 60,000 tons of fertilizers. The
fertilizers stored in the domes are corrosive so a special
anti-acid treatment was given to the concrete in order to
avoid possible corrosion to the steel.
This
turnkey project was finished by the end of 1999.
