Air Domes, also known as Air Supported Membrane Structure, is a new type of building that creates a slight positive pressure inside the building through a continuous air supply system to support a high-strength membrane material shell.
By dispensing with traditional beams and columns, these structures enable the creation of ultra-large-span, column-free interior spaces. They boast a core set of advantages, including short construction cycles, low building costs, energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, portability and ease of disassembly, and excellent airtightness. Consequently, they are widely applied in diverse sectors, such as sports venues, warehousing and logistics centers, industrial facilities, environmentally controlled workshops, commercial events, and enclosed storage areas for coal and bulk materials. Distinguished by their high efficiency, flexibility, eco-friendly and low-carbon profile, and superior spatial utilization, air-supported membrane structures have emerged as a highly competitive, lightweight spatial solution within the realm of modern architecture.
We, Sky Dome is a specialized provider of comprehensive solutions for air-supported structures. We offer a one-stop service encompassing consulting and design, manufacturing of membrane materials and structural components, integration of intelligent control systems, on-site installation and commissioning, and full lifecycle operation and maintenance—thereby covering the entire project lifecycle.
In terms of construction, we utilize high-strength PVDF/PTFE membrane materials combined with a diagonal orthogonal steel cable mesh system. Through rigorous structural analysis and a multi-redundancy safety design, our structures achieve exceptional resistance to wind, snow, and corrosion, enabling them to withstand extreme climatic conditions. Furthermore, our systems are equipped with an intelligent constant-pressure control unit that monitors wind pressure, temperature, and humidity in real time, automatically adjusting operational parameters as needed. Compared to traditional buildings, our structures offer 30–50% greater energy efficiency and fully comply with green infrastructure standards.
From factory prefabrication to rapid on-site assembly—culminating in a 2–3 hour inflation and formation process—our construction timeline is shortened by 70% compared to traditional building methods. This approach results in lower construction and maintenance costs, alongside significantly higher spatial utilization efficiency.
