Designed to work together in a series of intricate layers, BFG built each of the three different FRP domes from 12 separate panels. The fabrication team at BFG in Bahrain used a traditional contact moulding process and rubber moulds to shape the domes’ impressive 3D geometry. Installed in sequence on site by BFG, the inner dome was designed with a smooth gelcoat, the centre dome boasts a high gloss external finish, and the third dome, seen on the exterior, has a stunning see-through design with an inlaid Islamic pattern. Built to last for decades, the domes can withstand winds of up to 120km/h.
