Construction

Aluminum geodesic dome roof can be constructed in a number of ways. The most common is
outside-in and is primarily used for tanks constructed of jacks. And from the inside out, the dome
is built from the center out and lifted into place. Certain specialty covers are built using a
proprietary jack and hoist system designed to build aluminum domes quickly, easily and safely.

 Aluminum Geodesic Dome Roof

Center Enamel aluminum geodesic dome roof is the result of over 30

years of bolted steel tank experience by engineers. With the latest design
technology, the smooth dome surface allows rainwater to flow over the
dome without pooling & finding leak points. Center Enamel aluminum
geodesic dome roofs are fully compliant with API 650 and AWWA
specifications. All structural components of the aluminum geodesic dome
roof are fabricated from highly-tensile aluminum alloys and possess
excellent corrosion-resistant features, virtually maintained free, and
designed for extended service life.

Structural Design

1 Unique Batten Bar Design

Our aluminum geodesic dome roofs beam are designed for maximum beam
strength and the silicone gaskets will not deteriorate under ultra-violet light or
elevated temperatures. The unique batten bar design of an aluminum dome is a
real asset, which is not only the foundation of the leak-free dome structure, but Aluminum Geodesic Dome Roofs Advantages
also increases the structural strength of the dome roof.

Petroleum Bulk Storage

Center Enamel offers design, manufacture, and installation of aluminum dome geodesic roofs, used in the petroleum
industry. Aluminum geodesic dome roofs are installed on refineries and tank farms, where the storage tank and the
structural components of the products are protected from environmental influences. The aluminum roof is in need of low
maintenance during the entire period of operation, and used in aluminum alloys have proven to be resistant to the
environment, to the products of oil refining and petrochemistry, and therefore do not require a protective coating.
Center Enamel aluminum geodesic dome roof is the ideal solution for dry bulk storage in challenging environments.
The dome provides an ideal span rise ratio for any gap requirement configuration in standard and custom designs.
The free-span structure has no columns, no trusses or internal supports, and transfer of equipment or storage
materials. Our dome structure is strong enough to support the load of suspended centralized equipment and can
withstand even and severe weather.
