How Do Our Air Domes Perform With The Snow?

Views: 2837 Author: Site Editor Publish Time: Origin: Site

Many air dome companies do not even engineer their air domes to withstand the weight of any accumulated snow, contending that all snow will slide off the dome. However, every dome has a nearly flat surface on top, which will always accumulate snow. One of the widely accepted air dome industry methods for protecting an air dome when a heavy snowfall is predicted is to increase the internal pressure of the dome. Fabric membrane alone cannot handle nearly as high internal pressures as the membrane material supported by the steel cable harness system. Thus, air dome pressure in Broadwell's air domes can be higher than any dome without our Bias-Pro system, creating a much more rigid and stronger structure capable of handling much higher snow loads.

When it comes to wind, air domes without our steel cable harness will experience tremendous movement, often causing internal hang lights to sway violently.
