Construction
With 40 years of experience and more than 600 dome structures, Dome Technology is the industry leader in concrete dome construction. As the pioneer of this construction process, we continue to innovate, design, and build robust storm shelters that exceed FEMA 361 and ICC-500 standards, offering a turnkey, free-span solution. From 3,000, to 80,000 square feet, this structure proves to be an affordable, efficient, and safe shelter for kids and communities.
Our team is made stronger with support from in-house engineers who specialize in customized dome structures. When you select Dome Technology for your project, you also get the benefit of engineering expertise.
In addition to being an ideal structure for storm shelters, domes are seismic tolerant, based on the shell’s stability and load-absorption characteristics.
- The Wind Science & Engineering Center Debris Impact Test Facility at Texas Tech University conducted tests to determine Dome Technology domes’ ability to withstand windborne debris. A design-level projectile was shot at the shell at more than 100 mph, which penetrated the outer weatherproofing membrane and insulation layer but splintered upon impact with the reinforced concrete dome.
