ALUMINIUM DOME ROOFS
Aluminium dome roofs, known for their lightweight yet durable construction, provide an aesthetically pleasing and weather-resistant solution for covering large spans such as sports arenas, industrial facilities, and storage tanks.
FOR STORAGE TANKS
The lightweight economical covering solution is ideal for covering steel external floating roofs, as cover for new tanks, or even for replacement of the more traditional steel roofs on storage tanks. COTESO offers a full solution from engineering to supply and installation, which is the only way to truly get all the benefits domes have to offer.
Aluminium Domes, standards, and safety
Our Aluminium domes are fully compliant with API 650, EN14015, EN 1991 and EN 1999, and EEMUA 159.
Engineering
During the engineering phase our team of engineers will review local load requirements and all combinations (Live-, wind-, snow-, seismic load etcetera). Also, safety aspects are taken into consideration, this includes ATEX and NFPA. Completely in line with our sustainability vision all emission requirements will play a major role in the decisions we make in
the design phase.
Solutions
• Clear span
• Light weight
• Reducing the effect of the elements (sun, rain, wind, and lightning)
• Effectively reduces emissions from storage
• Reduced waste and chemical use during installation
• Minimal total cost of ownership
• Can be adjusted for any possible climate
• Eliminates the need for roof legs in internal floating roofs when using suspended IFR
Highlights
• Truly maintenance free
• Short installation time (shortest in the market)
with experienced crews
• Low total cost of ownership
• Guaranteed water tightness
• Turn key solution. engineering, supply, and
installation
• Maximized service life (more than 50 years)
Sliding supports
As a standard our Aluminium domes will be equipped with a sliding support on a low friction PTFE (Teflon®) pad. This will reduce reaction forces on the top of the tank. Fixed supports are available as an alternative.
Support and assistance
If this product information triggers more questions, then please note that our team of experts will be always available to support and assist you in selecting the optimal solution for your specific application.
Corrosion Resistance and Low Maintenance
There is no need of coating thanks to the use of corrosion-free materials – This means virtually no future maintenance will be required with an aluminium dome.
Easy and Fast Assembly
Prefabricated parts provide a faster assembly, in at least 1/3 of the time it takes to install other type of steel roofs.
Design Flexibility
Aluminium’s excellent strength-to-weight ratio allows for optimum design flexibility that cannot be achieved with other materials
The dome’s superior structural design gives it many advantages and by using proprietary variations of geodesic geometry, our domes provide maximum stiffness and strength, pound-for-pound, than other dome geometry systems.
