Characteristics of Single Skin Air Dome

• These air supported structures use a transparent membrane that is attached to a reinforced concrete ring beam using steel cables.
• The ring beam and drainage must be designed by a structural engineer to accommodate the nature of the site and ensure a design warranty. The drainage must meet the requirements of the Local Authority building regulations.
• These airhalls can be used seasonally. If they are to be taken down in the summer then storage will be required on site.
• These airhalls are lit using external floodlights. The airhall skin will reduce the lighting levels and therefore the existing lights should provide adequate light to enable 400 lux to be achieved on the principle playing area and 300 lux on the total playing area.
• Due to the nature of the skin it can be vandalised and security fencing is recommended.
