Air domes If you need a temporary or permanent sports hall? Or a flexible (temporary) storage of goods? Albers Alligator has been producing and supplying air domes for more than 30 years. These air domes are mostly used for playing indoor hockey, tennis and as a pool roof. With this temporary accommodation you can continue playing in the cold and wet winter season, while in the summer season the accommodation can be used for outdoor activities. Principle operation air dome The principle of an air dome is based on a slight overpressure in a flexible construction (hall skin or membrane). This is then inflated as a balloon. The air dome is anchored in such a way that it is possible to build up a slight overpressure in the hall. This pressure is low (this varies between 150 and 300 Pa) and does not affect the human body, but is sufficient to withstand the pressure of the wind. The fan is constantly running to maintain the pressure in the hall. By using sensors for wind and snow, the fan can be controlled to automatically turn harder and thus create more pressure to withstand the higher wind pressure and/or snow load. With an air dome you can therefore enjoy a nice sheltered and heated activity in the winter months.
