Arched roofs and curved metal roofs in the Dominican Republic
An arched roof covers a large space from side to side without a single column in the middle. That is why it roofs covered courts, markets and stages, and also parking and work areas. We fabricate arches and curved roofs in our Bávaro plant and erect them on your plot.
What an arched roof is and why it is chosen
It is a roof shaped as an arch: two side supports and a curved truss that spans the whole width. Compared with a gabled roof, the arch leaves the center completely free and gives generous height where it is needed most. Rainwater also runs off the curve without stopping.
The shape shows too: in a plaza, a club or a hotel, a curved roof is a design element, not just a shelter.
Where it is used
Sports courts at schools and communities are its best-known use. They are also used for markets and fairs, amphitheaters and stages, parking areas, service stations, maneuvering yards and agro-industrial buildings. In a hotel they cover an events or service area without filling it with columns.
How it is fabricated
We draw the arch in 3D, with the cross section and elevation, and our engineering team reviews the truss. In the plant we laser-cut, curve the pieces, weld and paint. On site we lift columns and trusses with a crane and fit the metal roof.
Curving is done in the plant, where control is better than on site. What is left for the site is what should be left: lifting, aligning and fixing.
Wind, anchors and salt air
A curved roof over a large span is a wide surface for the wind, which can push or lift it. So the anchors to the foundation and the truss connections are calculated with the wind loads of the site and the codes the project’s engineer applies. Near the sea, the Plan Costa checks paint, anchors and bolts, with a report and photos.
What to send for a quote
A photo of the plot, the span you want to cover, the use and what is around it: bleachers, walls, trees or buildings. If the space already exists, say where no column can go. We answer with a clear price, what it includes and the delivery time.
Frequently asked questions
What span can an arched roof cover?
Our engineering team sets it according to the use and the height needed; we fabricate to the size of the project.
Can an existing space be roofed?
Yes. We measure on site with digital equipment and place the supports outside the area that must stay clear.
Do you curve the pieces yourselves?
Yes, in our plant on Av. Barceló in Bávaro.
Does it withstand hurricanes?
It is designed with the wind loads of the site under the codes of the project’s engineer, with anchors and connections calculated for it.
