Monolithic Dome Construction

Monolithic Dome Construction in Jamaica refers to a building method using a single, continuous concrete structure to create strong, energy-efficient, and disaster-resistant domed buildings. This construction technique begins with an inflatable dome form, which is sprayed inside with a layer of polyurethane foam for insulation, followed by rebar reinforcement and a final layer of sprayed concrete. Known for their resilience against hurricanes, earthquakes, and other extreme weather conditions, monolithic domes are particularly suited to Jamaica’s climate and geography. They are used for various structures, including homes, schools, and community shelters, providing a sustainable and durable construction solution in the Jamaican context.
