Description of Inflatable Construction Air Dome At the core of an industrial air - supported membrane structure is a high - strength, flexible membrane. This membrane is made from durable materials such as PVC - coated polyester or PTFE - coated glass fiber, which offer excellent resistance to weathering, UV radiation, and mechanical stress. The structure is kept inflated by a constant supply of air, maintained at a slightly higher pressure than the external environment. This air - supported design allows for the creation of large - span, column - free interiors. The smooth, curved surfaces of the membrane not only give the structure a unique and modern aesthetic but also contribute to its structural integrity.
Types of Inflatable Structures:
1. Air-Supported Structures – Single-layer membranes held up by slight air pressure (e.g., sports domes, temporary shelters).
2. Air-Inflated Structures – Double-walled inflatable beams or arches (e.g., bounce houses, inflatable bridges).
3. Hybrid Structures – Combine inflatable elements with rigid supports (e.g., some aerospace habitats).
4. High-Pressure Inflatable Tubes – Used in aerospace (expandable space modules) or military applications.
Advantages of Industrial pneumatic structures
• Lightweight & Portable – Easy to transport and deploy.
• Quick Assembly – Can be inflated/deflated rapidly.
• Cost-Effective – Often cheaper than rigid structures.
• Temporary Use – Ideal for events, disaster relief, and military operations.
• Customizable – Can be designed in various shapes and sizes.
