Fabric Buildings Components

MegaDome® structures and building components are distinguished by their engineering, choice of steel, corrosion protection, use of oval tubes and high quality components. Our company has proudly engineered, designed and installed steel structures around the world for over 50 years. Our extensive experience allows us to offer innovative, top quality structures that are both robust and durable.

Structures

Our structures only use the best quality structural steel. The mechanical and chemical properties of this type of steel are analysed before processing, which guarantees the quality of the final product.

MegaDome® structures use oval tubes. This shape makes them more resistant than round or rectangular tubes of similar dimensions. This feature allows us to design a robust structure with considerably less steel.

The lower section of our arches, the part most exposed to dirt and corrosive elements, is always hot dipped after welding to ensure the added protection of the steel and durability of the structure.

The rest of the structure is made of pre-galvanized steel. Two additional galvanization options are also offered for superior protection in highly corrosive environments:

Hot-dip galvanized steel

Each arch of the structure is dipped in a molten zinc solution after welding. This operation is carried out after the transformation process to ensure the structure is highly protected. This treatment is ideal for corrosive environments.

The hardware, as it is, is made of zinc nickel and the other components made of pre-galvanized steel.

Hot-dip + galvanized steel

The structure is completely dipped in a molten zinc solution after welding. This includes all sections of the arch, spars, braces, butt structure and others. This operation is performed after the transformation to provide the best possible protection for the structure and its assembly components. This treatment is ideal for highly corrosive environments.

The hardware, as it is, is zinc nickel and stainless steel cables.

Years of research and testing at our facility have shown that this type of welding is fully compatible with pre-galvanized steel coating, making it significantly more corrosion-resistant than conventional welding.

MegaDome is the only accredited company in Canada authorized to weld structures with bronze.

  • Unique expertise in welding pre-galvanized steel structures without compromising the galvanization.
  • The weld and surrounding area are corrosion-resistant and do not rust.
  • All welds are approved by the company’s engineers.

Membrane

The PowerShield® membrane is the most advanced polymer technology on the market. Waterproof and durable, this premium covering is engineered and designed to protect your valuable assets from the elements.

The PowerShield® membrane is manufactured in our factory, where our expert team assembles large strips of fabric into a single piece using a hot welding process. Rigorous quality controls are conducted throughout production to ensure thickness, weld strength, and color uniformity, resulting in a homogeneous and high-quality final fabric.

The PowerShield® membrane allows the easy prenetration of natural light, allowing our clients to enjoy the benefits of a bright space and significant daytime energy savings.

For industrial projects, you have the option to choose a membrane with a fire-retardant additive, compliant with Building Code standards. This additive prevents the membrane from acting as an accelerant and reduces the risk of fire spreading.

We produce PowerShield® membrane that meets the specific needs of livestock farmers. It allows 30 percent more light penetration.This special feature contributes to a brighter, cleaner and safer environment by promoting solar sterilization, a process which can generate significant savings on veterinary fees. Humidity will also be lower with this membrane in comparison with the standard membrane.

FAQs about MegaDome Fabric Buildong Components

Fabric buildings typically include a robust steel frame, high-strength fabric covering, doors, ventilation systems, and optional insulation. Each component is engineered for durability and ease of maintenance.

Our covers are made from high-quality, UV-resistant, and fire-retardant polyethylene or PVC materials designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and provide long-lasting performance.

Yes, our fabric buildings are designed to be adaptable. You can replace or upgrade components like covers, doors, and ventilation systems as needed to ensure your building meets changing requirements.

Our steel frames are treated with a corrosion-resistant coating, making them highly resistant to rust and suited for long-term use in a variety of environments.

Fabric building components are generally low maintenance. We recommend periodic inspections to check for wear and tear, clean the cover as needed, and address minor issues promptly to maximize the lifespan of each component.
