Commercial Monolithic Dome Airform Membranes

Inflating an Airform membrane is the first step in Monolithic Dome construction. The Airform is an inflatable structure — also called a pneumatic structure — custom patterned to create the shape of the final building. Work continues inside this pneumatic framework — adding foam, steel, and shotcrete — until the dome is complete.

Monolithic manufactures key component of dome construction. Worked to refine the process. Developed custom software. New “patented” (hopefully) technology. Worked with SI to create Saturn styles airform.
