From the first to the most recent Geometrica project, every one involves lifts. Some lifts are small, others are huge. In all cases, lifts must be planned carefully by competent persons. Every risk must be assessed and controlled, and a lift plan produced.

Geometrica is pleased to announce that it has been selected as a recipient of Bechtel's 2022 Supply Chain Excellence Award. We recently had the privilege of collaborating with Bechtel, global leader in construction, on Teck Resources Ltd. Quebrada Blanca II project in Chile. Geometrica supplied a hyperbolic dome built using a hydraulic lifting tower. It is a great honor for everyone at Geometrica to have earned Bechtel's prestigious recognition.

In the past three decades, Geometrica has supplied hundreds of domes for mines, cement manufacturers, power plants and other processors of bulk materials. Often, a new dome's most important single cost component is installation. Now, a geometric innovation yields much faster construction, with less labor. We call this improvement "Saturn geometry."

As anyone knows, the first thing every client wants to know is: "How much will this cost me?" And a close second is: "When will I be able to use it?". In this article we will focus on the second one, the lead time.

Geometrica’s “Saturn” geometry is inspired by the planet Saturn’s striking north pole known as “the hexagon”. The unique planetary feature is created by a “turbulent current of air” much like a hurricane on Earth.

Dr. Douglas T. Wright, OC, passed on Thursday, May 21, 2020. He was a founding member of Geometrica’s board of directors.
His support and advice to Geometrica were instrumental for our company’s success today. We will miss him deeply.
The interior finish of a building envelope must exist in harmony with the use of the interior space. Some buildings require smooth, inconspicuous surfaces, while others can show hints of geometry and still others may need to express the structural framing. Projects created with Geometrica's Freedome® technology capitalize these concepts by allowing the chosen interior finish to be supported anywhere on the structure.

Comfort is valued most when missed. But no one needs to. Many thermal and acoustic options are available for Freedomes@, even on the most complex and demanding forms. So take a look and get comfortable.

Design professionals are comfortable with dozens of envelope alternatives for buildings with conventional, linear geometry. But such comfort may sometimes bend along with curvature. Free-form surfaces do prompt: "Can you clad that?", "Even with double-curvature?", "Will it fit my budget?". The short answers are likely "triple-yes".
