Coal storage yards have traditionally been left in the open. Fuel stocks can extend over many acres and, in some cases, the stockpiles shift in shape as material is brought in and pushed around with heavy moving equipment. A typical power plant may stock 300,000 tons of fuel in yards extending over 11 acres (4.5 hectares).

Read MoreAt certain sites, covering large spans without any internal columns is a very tall order.
One example, the mega-tall dome at the Caserones copper mine in Chile. At 94m (308 ft) tall, it feels right at home among the peaks of the Andes. The dome is so tall that if it sprung from her island, Lady Liberty couldn't touch the apex with her torch!

Read MoreGeometrica recently achieved the latest ISO 9001:2015 certification for the design, manufacturing and installation of reticular structures and domes.
Read MoreA look at one of Geometrica’s earliest projects and how it has withstood the test of time.
Read MorePedestrian bridges are going to cool new heights, turning the need to get from here to there into an adventure for Geometrica.
Read MoreTo realize elegant and intriguing buildings, not just any construction system will do. Elegance implies both beauty and simplicity ... but it doesn't mean you should settle for a “box.” Uncommon architecture is possible when constraints associated with conventional building construction are lifted.
Read MoreA look at one of the largest domes Geometrica has ever designed.
Read MoreAre open bulk storage yards a thing of the past? With an increasing need for environmental compliance, uncovered stockpiles need to be enclosed sooner rather than later.
Read MoreGeometrica is a signatory to the UN Global Compact - Call To Action. As such, we are committed to conducting business transparently and with integrity. Geometrica employees and representatives are committed to conducting business honestly, equitably and fairly.
Read MoreCladding is more than just a protective skin on the exterior of a building. With the right design and construction, it can add a breathtaking architectural element to a structure.
Read MoreFor a new site or existing cement plant - Geometrica moves the task of covering stockpiles into the twenty-first century. Our structures fight off wind and rain, and contain dust comprehensively.
Read MoreWhen it comes to both single and multiple dome installations, Geometrica is an accomplished designer. For 25 years, we have covered stockpiles under some of the harshest conditions, remote locations and uneven terrains. To date, Geometrica domes protect the environment in over 35 countries.
Read MoreAnother coal stockpile is under cover. This circular dome spans 125m diameter with a height of 40m. An area of approximately 11,500m2 is enclosed with double-layer (Vierendeel) geometry.
Read MoreFreedome® technology moves the task of covering stockpiles into the next generation. Freedomes (Geometrica’s trademark for freestyle domes) allow for versatile and flexible design options for irregular piles with spans up to 300m.
