Large domes present an equally large challenge in their installation. Typically, workers climb on man-lifts to reach the dome’s work-front. But working at heights is not always the most efficient use of labor, as reaching the work-front takes time and fall hazards are always present.
There is an efficient alternative: Geometrica lifting towers. These towers lift a dome from its centre as it is being built.
Lifting with a Geometrica tower allows work to take place safely, on the ground. A single tower can lift domes weighing more than 500t.
When compared with traditional assembly using man-lifts, tower assembly reduces equipment and labor requirements. Labour is more efficient because work takes place on the ground, rather than a hundred feet up in the air. This results in faster project delivery.
