Overview
Utilising Geometrica's innovative dome and vault technologies, we provide solutions that offer:
- Long-Span Capabilities: Structures that span over 150 meters, with spans exceeding 300 meters.
- Design Flexibility: Space frames and vaults that allow for adaptable plant layouts, accommodating changes in production flow and equipment updates without being constrained to a grid.
- Efficient Construction: Prefabricated components that enable rapid assembly, minimizing downtime and disruption to ongoing operations.
Geometrica solutions are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, making them ideal for various industrial applications, including manufacturing plants, warehouses, and waste management facilities.
Benefits
Enhanced Operational Efficiency
- Clear-Span Interiors: Elimination of internal columns provides unobstructed space, facilitating the free movement of personnel, equipment, and materials.
- Adaptable Layouts: The structural system supports flexible configurations, allowing for easy reorganization of production lines and storage areas as operational needs evolve.
Environmental Sustainability
- Natural Ventilation: Dome structures promote the chimney effect, where warm air rises and exits through the top, drawing in cooler air at floor level. This natural airflow reduces the need for mechanical cooling, leading to energy savings .
- Dust and Emission Control: Enclosed structures help contain dust and emissions, supporting compliance with environmental regulations and improving air quality within and around the facility .
Structural Durability
- Robust Materials: Use of galvanized steel or aluminum ensures resistance to corrosion, extending the lifespan of the structures even in challenging environments .
- All-Terrain Suitability: The lightweight yet strong design allows for construction in remote or rugged locations, overcoming obstacles posed by difficult terrains .
Past Projects
Geometrica technology has been used in numerous industrial projects worldwide, including:
- Manufacturing Facilities: Implementation of clear-span domes in auto parts and brake manufacturing plants, such as a 112m x 112m square-plan dome, providing flexible space for production activities.
- Waste Management Centers: Construction of aesthetically pleasing domes for waste-to-energy plants, like the Marchwood facility in the UK, which combines functionality with architectural appeal.
- Logistics and Warehousing: Development of column-free warehouses that enhance storage efficiency and streamline logistics operations.
