Ultraflote Aluminum Geodesic Domes

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Ultraflote's aluminum geodesic domes are state-of-the-art fixed roof systems designed to provide superior protection for storage tanks across industrial, municipal, and oil & gas applications. Available in both batten and lapped designs, these lightweight yet robust structures are constructed from high-strength, corrosion-resistant aluminum, offering unmatched durability and virtually maintenance-free operation.

These fully triangulated, spherical space frame structures are engineered to be self-supporting along their peripheries, with primary horizontal thrust contained within integral tension rings. Each dome is custom-engineered using advanced CAD technology and can be installed using various methods, including tripod erection, winch systems, or crane installation, without taking tanks out of service.
