Zaldivar mine needed a 95m dome to cover its ore stockpile. It selected Geometrica for several reasons: First, it had considerable experience with these types of domes. Second, the Geometrica offered a lower lifetime price than competitive structures. Third, the installation program was fast even while the stockpile remained in operation.
Read MoreGeometrica domes provide the most efficient shape for a stockpile enclosure because they are lightweight and can span large areas without intermediate supports. The most common dome shape is a segment of a sphere, but it is more economical to use varying radii of curvature for the meridian of the dome.
Read MoreOne of the most interesting applications of Geometrica's world-leading technology is the creation of aviaries covered by steel nets or even fabric mesh. This paper highlights this work and points to future possibilities.
