Choosing function over form, Aquatic Dome saves millions

The way South Industries constructs domes increases the energy efficiency of these buildings far beyond standard construction techniques.
REEVES COUNTY, Texas, Jan. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Facing the challenges of extreme growth and a declining standard of living Reeves County officials are thinking outside the box. Pecos is the largest community in Reeves County and is growing rapidly. Growth within the city limits exceeded 22% over the last ten years and some estimate the growth just outside the city limits has been even more extreme. Local government committed to provide recreational activities to help increase the standard of living within the community. They connected with the design team at South Industries and the possibilities opened up. The community decided to utilize the natural strengths of a monolithic dome to build a state-of-the-art recreation center. All rec center amenities are indoors, climate-controlled and are enjoyable every season and in all weather conditions. The recreation center includes a competition indoor lap pool, sauna, steam room, high-tech exercise spaces, multiple indoor basketball and volleyball courts. South Industries patented monolithic dome gymnasium design comes standard with the ability to withstand extreme wind events such as tornados and hurricanes. Dome gyms are rated to withstand F5 tornados and can also act as community storm shelters. A multiuse dome facility is much less expensive to build than a traditional storm shelter and rec center. Dome storm shelters and dome gymnasiums now offer municipalities across the country the opportunity to increase services while decreasing the cost to do so.
