Radome Inspections

Penn-Tech International performs inspection services for geodesic and inflatable domes. 
Our inspection reports detail all findings, recommended maintenance and repairs, and performed maintenance and repairs. Reports, which include photographs to support all recommendations (if any), are available printed and bound, and on CD.

Inflatable Envelope Inspections Check:

  • Fabric for tears, punctures, and abrasions that may allow air leakage.

  • Ladder systems for fabric damage and rotting or dry-rotting.
  • Base foundation walls for hairline fractures that allow air leakage (including airlock door gaskets).

Radome Maintenance Services

Penn-Tech International has provided these radome maintenance services for more than 30 years:
  • Cleaning. Improve the performance of your dish antenna. We can bring your dome to like-new condition without damage to the Teflon coating. Our cleaning process removes stains, mold, and suit residue. (Cleaning services also available for dish antennas.)
  • Maintenance. Don't let tears, abrasions, and punctures jeopardize the longevity of your dome: We can replace or repair your damaged dome panels.
  • Sealing. Stop water intrusion before it starts. We can recaulk your geodesic dome seams and regrout the base ring of your inflated dome.
  • Painting. We can power wash and paint your dome's interior and exterior foundation walls. We also paint geodesic dome panels.

Immediate Repairs

Cost-Saving Tip
Have your radome professionally cleaned and maintained while inspected to save duplicate lifts and rigging costs.
