  • Tectonik’s unique structural concept is different than the usual air beam structure technology, such as used in bouncy castles and event fairs, in that the structure and fabric envelope are bonded together as a single unit.
  • Two versions of Tectonik’s relief structures —rectilinear (shown) and barrel-vaulted— are both almost exactly the same size at 3m high. Clear PVC windows admit ample light and the units can be linked to form a series of rooms.

  • UK-based Tectoniks thinks its regular product —structural fabric air tubes covered with durable fabric cladding—is ideal for disaster relief shelters. Moreover, their technology is energy efficient and eminently transportable.
  • ILC Dover developed the exceptionally strong airbag impact attenuation system for the MER (Mars Exploration Rover). The impact bags are made of Vectran and coated with a silicone rubber. Photo: ILC Dover.
  • Patten Co. is developing vinyl-coated polyester inflatable columns that serve as an alternative to installing impact-resistant glass on buildings in hurricane-prone areas. The tubes attach to screens that can cut wind velocity. Photo: Patten Co.
  • ILC Dover manufactures helium-filled aerostats that rise up to 15,000 feet and are tethered by high-strength textile cables that contain communication and power cables. The U.S. military is using this surveillance system in Afghanistan. Photo: ILC Dover.
  • Seamen test a multi-place life raft (MPLR) developed by the Patten Co. at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla. The raft is made of a urethane-coated nylon. Photo: Patten Co.
  • The inflatable wall for Federation Square in Melbourne, Australia utilized faceted transparent shapes made of unsupported PVC material. Seam lines and joints had to be very exact to achieve the required architectural result. Photo: 1300 Inflate.
  • A hybrid inflatable frame shelter from 1300Inflate features high-pressure sealed arches commonly known as air beams that can carry a load of 265 pounds. The rest of the frame is constant cold-air inflated. Photo: 1300 Inflate.
