Geometrica provides an effective and efficient cover for crushed mineral stockpiles in mines.

The challenges faced when working in mines include:

• Location: Mines are usually located far from urban centers, at high altitudes and extreme climate conditions.
• Design requirements: Terrain is uneven and the pile operation must not stop. 
• Environment: Operation creates large amounts of dust.

Geometrica offers domes that:

• Are built by local crews without special or heavy equipment.
• May be supported on slopes or irregular terrain.
• Allow the pile to remain in operation during construction.
• May be designed to resist high loads on the apex or encapsulate the discharge point.
