Exterior Facades

Composite Domes are extremely hard wearing, lightweight, and self-supporting structures made from a sandwich of glass fibre and epoxy resin composites with a thermoplastic, structural core.

In 2013 AFI was contracted by Bouygues Batiment International Construction for the manufacturing of a several of domes to be installed on the Congress buildings of government.

AFI designed a different kind of a structure as per client’s specifications and requirements. These domes had a cornered circular formation throughout a complete radius, forming the shape of a complete dome. It was a similar design for all four domes, and were manufactured using a vacuuming system to retain its strength, despite being a sensitive design.

This quality product was completed within the given time frame.

From large domes to carbon fiber sculptures, racing cars to restaurants interiors, Dubai-based Advanced Fibreglass Industries is a leader in the use of composites in manufacturing.

Bouygues Batiment International Constructions selected AFI to carry out a prestigious project which included the designing, manufacturing and installation of a Dome for the ‘Ancient Palace in the beautiful capital of Turkmenistan, Ashgabat as part of the refurbishment of the palace.

AFI once again provided in client with a complete solution and a turn key product.

From a creative point of view, you can get more fluidity in shapes and styles when using composites. Finishes can be made to replicate wood, marble etc.

In 2007, AFI was contracted with HMRT for the manufacturing of Resin Transfer Molding formed louvers & facades which are located at the parking area of terminal 3, Dubai International airport.

These louvers were installed in a radius form (as it was a curved building) at all levels of the parking area. The installation process was successfully carried out by team AFI, within the given time frame allocated as per contractual agreement.
