Johnson Reservoir Geodesic Dome (2008)

Attention, open in a new window. PrintE-mail

Last Updated (Monday, 23 March 2009 15:11)

This interesting project was done at the Johnson Reservoir in Erie.  It involved removing the existing concrete roof structure and replacing it with a new 170' diameter aluminum geodesic dome.

After cutting up and removing the concrete lid, we drained the reservoir.  Then the dome was assembled and hoisted up to be set on the reservoir wall.
