The dome, a structure used from the antiquity, acquires with Domo a modern, economic and respectful application with the environment.

The structures Domo are structures of armed concrete, which allow the execution of a rapid and simple way of structures of simple or double curvature, specially adapted for the resolution of big lights and powerful horizontal charges, which joined your staunchness makes them ideal for the construction of big stores for bulks specially.

The constructive process is evolutionary and a self balance, using as auxiliary element a sheet pressurized of pvc, pre-stressed and of high resistance that remains incorporated into the construction as ended in your exterior face.

For the geometries that can be obtained and for your out finished they present a very aesthetic aspect.

Your existence covers needs of storage, especially of changeable products for changes of temperature like they can be the cereals, the sugar, the water, the cement, the coal and other prime matters. This faculty almost microclimatic turns also to the structures Domo in perfect candidates for the projection of wines cellars, since your inscrutability supports also the conditions of dampness needed. Your utilization in North America has been extended, besides, to architectural as sports centres, stadiums, religious buildings, audiences, complexes of leisure and enclosed housing.

The resistance of these constructions to the atmospheric phenomena is also notable: nobody has forgotten that the stadium Superdome of New Orleans turned into the principal refuge of harmed of the Katrina hurricane..

The structures Domo they are sheets of concrete shaped by surfaces of simple or double curvature, which grants to the vault an excellent behavior opposite to punctual and distributed charges. This improves the response before the seismic, atmospheric phenomena and other natural contingencies.

The possibility of incorporating polyurethane foam in the process of construction optimizes the thermal isolation of the interior. There diminishes the possibility of phenomena of condensation, an aspect that makes possible the storage of cement, sugar, cereals...

Besides, the exterior airform is impermeable, which reinforces the waterproof capacity of the polyurethane (for not speaking about the thick cap of concrete that supposes the own vault). In the constructive process the concrete projects in successive caps of between 3 and 4 cm, which diminishes the retractions and improves the impermeability.

They eliminate the concepts of shaft and cover of the conventional siloes in favour of the only monolithic structure of armed concrete. This guarantees a perfect airtight and eliminates the complicated auctions and maintenance costs that present the conventional structures generally crowned with metallic structures.

The monolithic union of shaft and covered it does that the structure presents a better structural behavior.

The possibility of increasing, practically without limit, the diameter of support of the structure, allows to reduce the value of load for square meter on grouds of few resistance, the height to be diminished, etc. This characteristic turns to Domo in an alternative to considering in zones with limitation of height.

Excellent capacity of adequacy to the differential seats.

The aesthetics improve the environmental impact of the industrial sets to which they join.

Your form improves the utilization of the interior volume and your total filling is possible.

The structure of double curvature allows the installation of automatic systems of extraction produced from the exterior. The construction allows that there should be extracted 100 % of the stored material and a capacity of wealth of up to 500 Tn/h (according to the density of the material).

The system allows to adopt solutions with very diverse geometries that solve a wide variety of problems. The versatility, together with the possibility of loading on the whole surface of the structure, allows an ideal utilization of the surface in available plant and to reduce the volume of the construction with a maximum adjustment to the capacity of storage needed.

Minor investment for better utilization of the occupied surface.

Minor investment for optimization of the interior useful volume (minor cost for stored ton)

Minor cost for elimination of losses of material (be for pollution, condensation or alteration of the characteristics of the same one).

Elimination of necessary costs of maintenance in the conventional structures (that use covers of sheet and metals).

The speed with which these varied forms get up constitutes also an important advantage (they can be constructed in a period of between four and six months). Your execution does not need any more space than that it will occupy the future dome, without need of operation of machinery and workforce in your exterior.

The disposition, in turn, can settle also directly in the foundations or on other architectural elements.
