Can an Air Dome Be Built Over a Synthetic Sports Field?

2026-06-22

With the widespread adoption of synthetic sports fields, many facility owners are considering a key question: Can an Air dome be built over an existing synthetic sports field? And can the original synthetic surface be retained inside the dome? The answer is yes. An air dome can be constructed directly over the existing synthetic field, upgrading the open-air sports area into all-weather indoor facilities. This not only reduces the impact of adverse weather conditions—such as rain, snow, intense sunlight, and strong winds—but also helps slow the aging of the synthetic surface and increases the facility's utilization rate. Efficient Construction Constructing an air dome over an existing synthetic sports field generally does not require the large-scale removal of the original surfacing. The installation adopts a perimeter anchoring method, tailored to the specific site conditions. Before construction, a professional team surveys the site to assess surface evenness, foundation load-bearing capacity, the drainage system, and the surrounding space. Anchor points are typically positioned along the perimeter of the sports field, near drainage channels, or at the edge of the running track; this placement minimizes impact on the existing synthetic surface by avoiding primary athletic areas. The main body of the air dome is formed through an integral tensioning process, resulting in a short on-site construction period. Upon completion, the existing running tracks, sports courts, or synthetic athletic surfaces can be retained for continued use—eliminating the need for complete removal and reconstruction—thereby reducing foundation renovation costs. Shields against wind and rain, extending service life Outdoor synthetic sports fields are constantly exposed to the elements—such as sunlight, heavy rain, frost, UV radiation, and windblown sand—making them susceptible over time to issues like fading, cracking, blistering, or delamination. Once constructed, the air dome provides an enclosed shelter for the synthetic surface, reducing direct erosion caused by…

Foundation pit air dome covering construction site for dust and noise reduction

Can a air dome reduce pollution at construction sites?

2025-08-27

Foundation pit construction has traditionally been an open-air operation, where wind, rain, dust, and noise often affect both progress and the surrounding environment. With the development of the foundation pit air dome, this conventional method has gradually shifted toward a new stage of indoor construction. 1. Weather Resistance: Enabling All-Weather Construction In the past, foundation pit construction was significantly constrained by weather. Rainy and snowy days turned construction sites muddy, making it difficult for machinery to operate, increasing worker safety risks, and frequently delaying progress. The air dome fully covers the construction site, protecting the internal environment from wind, rain, and snow. Even under adverse conditions, the construction process can continue smoothly, significantly improving schedule stability. 2. Reducing Pollution: Less Noise and Dust Dust and noise are two major problems in urban construction management. The enclosed structure of the foundation pit air dome can block approximately 90% of dust, significantly improving surrounding air quality. It can also reduce noise by about 80%, minimizing the impact on nearby residents and creating a more harmonious relationship between construction sites and communities. 3. Structural Advantages: Creating a Spacious Open Space The foundation pit air dome is an air-supported structure without beams or columns. It relies on the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the membrane to maintain stability. This not only simplifies the construction process but also provides a large open space—over 50 meters in height—allowing large machinery and equipment to enter and operate more easily, thereby improving construction efficiency. 4. Material Performance: Multiple Protections of PVDF Membrane The PVDF membrane, the core material of the air dome, offers outstanding performance. It blocks about 90% of UV rays, protecting staff and equipment. It also provides excellent thermal insulation and heat dissipation, reducing heat in summer and retaining warmth in winter, thus…

What problems can a foundation pit air dome solve on construction sites?

2025-08-05

In today’s rapidly advancing urbanization, dust and noise issues at construction sites not only affect the quality of life of surrounding residents but also become a focus of social attention. The shortcomings of traditional foundation pit construction methods in terms of environmental protection and efficiency have put greater pressure on construction companies in terms of environmental protection and project schedule. In response to this pain point, Liri Dome has innovatively launched the foundation pit air dome technology with rich experience in environmental space solutions, providing a new mode of environmental protection, efficiency, and safety for construction sites. Control dust and noise Traditional foundation pit construction often leads to complaints from surrounding residents due to dust and noise issues, especially in urban core areas where environmental management is more difficult. The foundation pit air dome adopts a fully enclosed design to control dust and noise from the source. In the construction area covered by air dome, the amount of dust overflow can be reduced by 90%, and the construction noise can also be reduced to below 50 decibels, which is equivalent to the quietness level of a library. This quiet and environmentally friendly construction environment not only reduces the impact on the surrounding environment, but also allows construction companies to cope more calmly under environmental pressure. Efficient construction around the clock The foundation pit is equipped with an advanced intelligent monitoring system inside the air dome, which can monitor the temperature, humidity and other environmental data inside and outside the air dome in real time, and automatically adjust the internal environment. For example, in hot summer or cold winter, the system will maintain a constant temperature within the air dome to ensure a more stable construction environment. In addition, the sealed design of the air dome effectively isolates external wind and…

How to prepare your dome for snow?

2024-09-28

Air dome tents with their unique charm, shine in various fields such as sports, warehousing, and exhibitions. However, in the face of natural tests such as rain, snow, and strong winds, how to ensure that these lightweight and sturdy buildings are safe has become the focus of our common concern. Liri Air Dome provides one-stop security support on the protection service. Before the rainy and snowy seasons, a detailed “physical examination” is essential. The operation team should shuttle between the membranes, searching for every subtle crack and hidden danger with keen eyes, ensuring that the membrane surface is as smooth as new and the drainage system is unobstructed. At the same time, the air pressure parameters are precisely adjusted to make the air dome as stable as Mount Tai in bad weather and resist the invasion of wind and rain. During a blizzard, it is necessary to clear the snow promptly and use indoor air pressure to empty the snow, keeping the surroundings of the building light and pressure-free. But in the event of a severe snowstorm, if it reaches a level where there is no human control, we should take more flexible measures, such as lowering the lamp post and quickly releasing the air dome, taking retreat as an advance to protect the integrity and safety of the air dome. After a natural disaster, simply clean the surface snow and re-inflate it to operate without damage. After the extreme weather, the maintenance operation did not end. A comprehensive inspection is needed again to prevent any potential damage, eliminate safety hazards from details, and revitalize the air dome. Liri Air Dome provides one-stop comprehensive services from project consulting, design planning, construction, and post-maintenance. We have rich after-sales experience and provide customers with comprehensive solutions to safety issues such as blizzards.
