The Challenges of Dome Building Click to Enlarge Ask Randy South, Production Manager at Dome Technology, Inc. of Idaho Falls, Idaho, what's the fun part of a Monolithic Dome project, and he answers without hesitation. The bigger the domes get, the more challenging they are. It seems like every time we do a project, it's bigger than the last. So each one has its unique set of challenges that come with it.
Size can be a challenge, or the height, or the crane and equipment needed-almost anything, really.
Randy's Monolithic Dome enthusiasm began in his teens as he worked with his brothers David and Barry spraying polyurethane foam insulation. We were probably spraying more polyurethane than any other contractor in our area, at that time. Many of our projects were storage facilities. We could see the tremendous need for better storage structures for products like potatoes. We wanted to build something a lot more efficient.
