ABC Domes uses BIM (Building Information Modeling) process to maximize and configure 6 stories of storage in their new vital media vault storage dome, being developed for their client ‘Certified Records Management‘ in Lakeland, Florida

ABC Domes time lapse inflation of our newest vital media vault storage dome for Certified Records Management

Richard Ruck of Certified Records Management discusses their new vital media vault storage dome being constructed by ABC Domes at our Lakeland, Florida facility.

A new 60 foot tall dome that has 12,000 square feet of interior space is set to be inflated Thursday morning.

According to the company, the prototype dome is engineered to withstand winds of from a EF5 tornado or Category 5 hurricane.

The company says inflation of the dome takes around an hour and is the beginning of a construction process known as airforming.

“The airforming process allows for an economical formation and construction of a large span, column-free thin shell structure,” according to a release. “The airform is both the form for construction of the dome as well as the outer roof membrane of the finished shell.”

The airform is then attached to a foundation, which is also inflated.

While many may think that the buildings look strange, other, far weirder buildings exist. To take a look at other strange buildings , visit http://wfts.tv/xogDLr.

ABC Domes, with existing dome facilities in Lakeland, Florida and Sealy, Texas, considers the new Smart Dome Vault the prototype for future development of disaster resistant real estate throughout the country. Scheduled for completion in March of 2012, the NARA (National Archives and Records Administration) – Compliant Smart Dome Vault for Certified Records is 60 feet tall and has 12,000 square feet of interior space including a floor to ceiling metal racking system. The dome is engineered to withstand winds of more than 300 miles per hour, providing protection from Category 5 tornado and hurricane pressures. The Certified Records Management Smart Dome also provides environmentally controlled protection for all forms of critical data and will be the safest and most secure vault facility available in the state of Florida.

ABC Domes Smart Dome Vault for Certified Records Management based out of Tampa.

The Certified Records Management Smart Dome will use ABC Domes’ construction process utilizing monolithic concrete dome technology, double steel reinforced 6000 PSI Shotcrete, polyurethane foam insulation, and a custom Kevlar-reinforced airform.

ABC Domes has been on the forefront of disaster recovery planning and asset protection since 2004. The domes – which require no windstorm insurance – are located on high security sites with solar lighting, geo thermal HVAC and bunker style interior build out as required. The company leases spaces in its wholly owned domes and develops build-to-suits, such as the Smart Dome Vault for Certified Records Management based out of Tampa.

Certified Records Management (CRM) specializes in providing the most secure environment for their clients especially when it comes to their critical documents, vital data and data protection. In order to compliment their sophisticated Document Storage, Digital Solutions and Document Shredding CRM investigated the ABC Dome Technology for vital records and media storage. After visiting a pro-type facility and examining the specifications CRM saw a perfect synergy. ABC Domes allows CRM to build the safest environment possible today in the Records and Information Industry and it is for that reason that the 2-20 Family of Companies has signed an exclusive contract to build these domes throughout the country.

As well as providing a disaster-resistant structure, ABC Domes also makes the following conveniences and amenities available:

ABC Domes is a division of Miami-based contractor Golden Sands General Contractors, which has specialized in building bank branches, vaults and ATM outlets since 1988. With an initial focus on Florida, Golden Sands became the go-to company for restoring banking facilities after hurricanes, first after Andrew in 1992. After the 2004 and 2005 seasons battered Florida with six hurricanes, the company expanded and Golden Sands created ABC Domes as a separate operating unit specializing in disaster recovery storage and management.
