A opportunity sustainable conscious participatory

for the river tourism

The Dome is ready!

After a continuous inflation process that lasted 12 hours, Portuaria Corral successfully completed the commissioning of the largest industrial dome in the Americas, marking a milestone both for the port industry and for the development of sustainable infrastructure in southern Chile.

The project involves the construction of a 20,000 m² geodesic dome, 30 meters high, to cover the wood chip storage area in the Miraflores sector of Valdivia. This will improve the quality of the product, reduce its humidity, and reduce its environmental impact.

These were built based an exclusive colour palette of the Los Ríos Region.
