FAQ - Safety

  • Are electrical blackouts dangerous events?

    The airdomes are equipped with a backup ventilation system that intervenes in the event of a power failure or failure or non-functioning of the main fan unit, guaranteeing the correct functioning of the system.

  • Are the PES / PVC membranes, used for the shell of the airdome, flammable?

    All the membranes used for the airdome must have additives inside that make them fireproof according to state approval criteria.

  • Are vandalism repairable?

    The PES / PVC membrane is repairable as long as the PVC layer is in good condition. There are no general rules for assessing damage and therefore the guarantee of a repair that restores the airdome to its original state, but each event must be evaluated by qualified technical personnel.

  • Do the airdomes have material certifications?

    All the components of the airdomes are provided with certifications which certify their technical suitability for use and compliance with regulatory requirements.

  • Do vandalism represent a danger to the safety of users of the airdome?

    Vandalism is certainly an unpleasant occurrence, but depending on dimension of the damage, they do not represent a particularly dangerous event for the users of the airdome. In certain cases, the ventilation system is able to compensate for the additional air losses due to damage and when the air pumping capacity is not sufficient, the complete collapse time is long enough for the complete and safe evacuation of the occupants.

  • How many safety exits must be present in an airdome?

    The dimensions of the structure, the purpose of use and the various national regulations impose the number and dimensions of the emergency exits necessary for the airdome to meet the regulatory requirements.
