Geometrica's exclusive Freedome® technology makes it possible to cover areas of any shape: circular, rectangular, or even freestyle. The structure may rise from the ground, or it may rest on material containing walls. A Freedome may be adapted to cover building courtyards or sloping mountainsides.
Read MoreOver the last 23 years, Geometrica has installed hundreds of domes for commercial and industrial sectors. Whether designed with glass cladding or built of galvanized steel and aluminum, these architectural and industrial applications have, literally, changed the landscape in 30 countries.
Read MoreCovering stockpiles under these harsh regional conditions would have been a monumental challenge in years past. But with Freedome® technology, today's domes can be constructed in a variety of dimensions spanning up to 300m on virtually any topography.
Read MoreGeometrica designs some of the world’s largest free span domes, trademarked as Freedomes®, as a solution for challenging architectural and logistical feats across the Middle East. Freedome technology has revolutionized the installation process on any terrain, including sandy deserts, high dunes, salt flats, gravel plains and coastal strips.
Read MoreGeometrica is pleased to share an article recently published in December 2014 issue of World Coal reporting examples of Geometrica domes that provide sustainable coal storage solutions.
Read MoreCastaño Sr. was the first to realize the potential for free form and long span in gridshell design. Many of the projects he built are architectural icons even today, including the Palacio de los Deportes, the atrium dome at Archivo de la Nación, various hyperboloid water towers, and the Rio 70 theater, among others.
Read More"Spare the environment." This call to action is heard round the world and challenges industries to tread softly around Mother Nature. But sometimes compliance is more easily said than done. "Green" initiatives may seem cost prohibitive or difficult to implement. Logistics, terrain and weather may provide obstacles.
Read MoreWith all the transportation-oriented clients Geometrica has served since 1992 (and even a generation earlier), we considered entitling this article "Planes, Trains and Automobiles!" We hope you enjoy "traveling" with us through an album interspersed with nostalgic projects and modern space frames, all envisioned by clients of Geometrica's trademarked system.
Read MoreElectric power, solid fuel, waste management, sustainable energy... Geometrica is a global expert in long span applications for energy generation and power plants. In a "look back" at power generation projects. These applications help make the storage of coal, petcoke, biomass, compost and recyclable products a reality.
Read MoreCaserones construction involved unprecedented challenges due to its rugged location, freezing temperatures, high winds, low ore grade and scarcity of resources. The Caserones domes are designed to withstand a rugged environment involving snow loads that reach 800kg/m2 and wind pressures of up to 300kg/m2.
Read MoreMining has also taught an entire sector the meaning of the word “green” — a design factor in which Geometrica specializes.
Read MoreOne hundred meters. It's a nice round number, about the length of a football field. Or one thousandth the distance to space. And a heck of a long way for any roof to span without columns.
Read MoreGeometrica was pleased to be featured in the July 2014 issue of Gulf Construction Magazine.
Read MoreGeometrica is pleased to play a part in the overall picture as an international supplier of long span storage domes that help insure such port stockpiles are environment-friendly.
Read MoreArtful use of geometry allows lightweight gridshells to span vast expanses of space. They provide all the efficiency of geodesic domes, but with playful forms and whimsical support conditions. Geometrica calls its gridshells "Freedomes®", its registered trademark for these structures in use since the mid 1990s.
Read MoreSince humans first began congregating in spiritual spaces centuries ago, they have practiced their faith within vast interiors of inspiring heights. Today is no exception as architects design prayer and assembly spaces with modern materials and innovative building systems.
Read MoreGeometrica proposed a bold and very different solution, a Freedome®, Geometrica's trade name for a free-style dome. The concept immediately inspired Percy Diaz to sketch a free-form plan. Geometrica considered the scope and scale of the new vision and confirmed that the Freedome could be built without increasing the budget.
Read MoreGeometrica supplied three bulk-storage structures for Carthage Cement's new plant in Djebel Ressas. The plant began to take shape in late 2010 and was completed in 2013. Designed to produce 5,800 tons of cement per day, it is now Tunisia’s largest and most technologically advanced cement plant.
