Combining Geometry and Art

Combining Geometry and Art Dihedral Symmetry…Canonical Factor…Borromean Rings… Gyroid…Cubelets…Schwartz’ D Surface… sound like you are studying for a geometry class?

Geometrica recently completed two domes 183m long by 60m wide in the heart of Latvia, one to store limestone, and the other to store aggregates used in making cement.

Each covering over 10,000 m2, the domes were designed to resist the fierce Baltic wind and snowstorms. Installation was performed by local crews under Geometrica's supervision. Geometrica's prefabricated system allows the structure to be assembled into large modules on the ground and then lifted into position and joined at the apex, as shown in this picture essay.

By T.V.S. Chidambaram, Star Cement Co. LLC, and F. Castano, Geometrica, Inc.

The Emirate that will soon host the 33rd America's Cup yacht race also holds the distinction of being the largest cement producer in the United Arab Emirates. For a long time Ras Al Khaimah (often referred to as RAK) has provided high-quality construction materials to its more famous siblings, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, helping build the country's infrastructure and fuel its remarkable growth. In 2008, Star Cement, a company of the ETA group, started construction of a new, world-class cement plant in RAK to meet anticipated long-term growth. The new plant has a capacity of 7000 tons per day of clinker and is now undergoing commissioning.
