Modular Transportable Design
Shown above is an example of multi-shell diversity. This example is model 548, a 24 ft. diameter dome by 30 ft. long. Our transportables are made in a similar process to the made in place thin shelled concrete domes. We utilize a high technology light weight structural strength concrete that allows greatly reduced dead loads for the pre-made concrete floors and highly reduced total weight of the units while retaining structural strength to make these units safe and strong. The units that we presently offer are designed as single, stand alone units or 2 piece units that bolt together such as model 415 (shown above).
These buildings are ideal for
small cottages, lake homes or even a starter home. The fire-proof construction,
resistance to natural disasters and extreme energy efficiency ensure a long
useful return for your investment. Molded foam overhangs provide protection
from weather for doors and windows. Renewing the exterior is a simple process
of cleaning and recoating with more urethane rubber coating. There is a nice
color selection and simplified repair of the exterior if damage should occur.
Standard Features on our transportable domes include:
* 3 pound density urethane foam* Engineered reinforced concrete shells* High density molded foam overhangs for doors and windows* Minimum 6 gallons/square urethane coating with 6 oz. / yd polyester fabric* Mineral or ceramic roofing granules for exterior membrane texture* Custom designs: We build what you really need
