Callington Community College, Cornwall
On the 2nd May 2001 a Cable Dome size 37.5m x 37.5m
x 9.5m was erected over two tennis courts at
the above college near Plymouth. This was the first
Cable Dome in the UK scheduled to stay up all year
round and not be taken down for the summer months.
It is fitted with a natural gas burner for heating.
Once again, ground anchors were used as the
anchoring system rather than a large reinforced
concrete ring beam. These were installed once the
playing surface base was laid.
The college is overjoyed with the dome and amazed at
how light it is inside.
