Monolithic Airform Manufacturing
Monolithic Airform Manufacturing is the fabric architecture manufacturing division of Monolithic Constructors, Inc.. They have provided Airform membranes for thousands of domes in all 50 states and dozens of countries—from the Arctic to the tropics.
In the 1970s and 80s, Monolithic bought Airforms for the construction of Monolithic Domes from Precision Air Structures (PASCO), a company out of Des Moines, Iowa, owned by the late Jack Boyt. In the 1990s, David B. South bought the Airform company and moved it to the Monolithic Dome Research Park. With help from his son, Dave, and from Boyt, South continued to innovate and refine the process of Airform manufacturing.
Since his father’s passing in 2020, Dave, his brother Mike South, and Gary Clark](/gary-clark) have continued to improve Airform manufacturing. On September 3, 2019, Dave was awarded a patent for the invention of the Transverse Pattern Airform construction method.
Monolithic Airform Manufacturing fabricates more than just Airforms. They also manufacture condensate ceilings, grain covers, methane digestors, fabric water tanks, compost covers and just about any other fabric architectural structure.
