A look at one of the largest domes Geometrica has ever designed.

Are 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.

Geometrica 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.

Cladding 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.

For 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.

When 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.

Another 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.

Freedome® 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.

A groundbreaking project is complete and another beautiful structure is added to our portfolio.   We successfully supplied a pioneering structure for Esplora, Malta’s National Interactive Science Centre.

Covering a mineral ore processing plant presented a unique challenge.  Following several expansions over the years, the main area encompassed more than 5000m2 in an irregular shape.  There was no way to fit a conventional structure on this site.  The ultimate solution?  A Freedome® - Geometrica’s trademark for free-style domes. 

Geometrica skylights, space frames, facades, vaults and free-style architectural domes are beautiful and cost effective.  Since 1992, we have delivered sports facilities, exhibition centers, passenger terminals, malls, museums, houses of worship, production facilities and many other buildings in over 35 countries.

Geometrica has been a leader in providing bulk storage solutions for almost 25 years.  The Freedome® at Bocamina Ⅱ is one of our most challenging and successful projects covering nearly 23,000m2 without any interior columns.  

Geometrica designs long-span domes and vaults that cover stockpiles, prevent runoff, contain dust and spare landscapes.  Your operations, employees, neighboring communities, and landscapes are protected against fugitive dust.

Freedomes can have any shape. To achieve this, their framing components can be, and often are, all uniquely different from each other. This is without increasing the cost of the structure. See, Geometrica has software that controls the logistics of a huge number of distinct parts from design through manufacture and into installation.

If mines, ports, power and cement plants around the world have one thing in common, it's the need to have enormous stockpiles of dry bulk material. And, managing these stockpiles for greater sustainability, efficiency, safety and protection is an increasing challenge. We have the solution.

From those words, you'd think this article is about yoga. Sorry, no. It is about domes, again. Engineers find these words exciting even when not applied to such fun pursuits.

Grupo CICE, a company trading in fertilizers and other commodities, needed a long-span storage building at the port of Veracruz. As if the local harsh environment was not a sufficient challenge, the building was to store 15,000 tons of urea. CICE contacted Geometrica.
