Please describe the project specifications

The Project consists of 250 geodesic domes, each domes is made of two kinds of membrane white fabric PVC & glass clear pure PVC membrane for skylight.


What was the purpose of this project? What did the client request?

250 geodesic domes used for camping tent, client organized an auto motor event in the desert area of Spain. When the day activities finished, the guests were invited to live in their own individual bubble suites. Because of the very high requirement on appearance, we spent one week on mock-up to adjust patterning and processing procedure. The delivery time be compressed in 45 days.


What is unique or complex about the project?

It is not easy for our processing, each dome contain too many complicated details (one tunnel, arched door, mosquito net, triangle-shaped window, flower shaped pipe orifice for air condition, two skylights & many eyelets for quick-installation).
We specifically designed workflow for this project to split up a complex processing flow into a series of repeated high-efficient work station to catch up the tight schedule.


What were the results of the project?

The event organized by client had got a very good result, their guests spent one unforgettable night in bubble suites. They got the most pleasant surprise to see the stars through a transparent skylight while lying in camp tent. We also got marked promotion and valuable experience on the fabrication of tent.
