Foam Finished.

Foam Finished

The polyurethane foam has been applied inside the dome, and the crew is attaching rebar. Door and window frames are installed on the bottom level, and the spray stops are installed for the top window augments. Domes are built top down instead of the usual bottom-up method. We inflate the roof first, then insulate, and then finish the structural part off with shotcrete.
