Air-Supported Buildings

Air-supported buildings are rapidly winning recognition in the world. According to American researches, 30% of air-filled edifices serve for recreational purposes (sports, entertainment), 30% - for industrial needs, 30% are used as state and military objects, and 10% - for exhibitions and shows.
There are many examples of efficient use of air-supported buildings in industrial, agricultural, civil, and hydroengineering construction. Their prime cost is relatively small, and functional capabilities are big enough.
Air-supported buildings implement a simple engineering solution when structures filled with air take a role of framework and support beams.
Remarkable performance, low prime cost and high cost-effectiveness provide a steady demand for such constructions. Assembly and disassembly of air-supported buildings does not take much time, and they may be quickly erected in places of mass events or in field conditions. This is probably the best solution for retail outputs, first-aid posts, exhibition pavilions, sports events and advertising actions...
These are several obvious advantages of air-supported buildings.

• They are easily and quickly mounted and demounted, repeatedly used in any weather, stored in a compact form.
• However high a building is, all mounting works are performed on the level of its base (floor), which takes several hours.
• In comparison with permanent buildings, air-supported structures are low-cost in manufacture and operation.
• They have unusual shape and bright colours, which makes them a perfect advertising tool.
• Low prime cost of an air-supported building is achieved by means of extremely low materials consumption and simplified mounting system.
• Collapse of such constructions is impossible even in emergency situation.
• Air-supported buildings are comfortable and durable.

Inflatable Buildings

An inflatable building is a structure implementing a principle of change of pressure. Entering a pneumatic construction, one feels a higher air pressure, which can be compared with a sense of height during descent from the 6th floor in a lift.
In the West as well as in Russia such constructions become more and more popular. No one wonders at sheltered swimming pools, gyms, dance-halls...
Inside such building, it is possible to maintain a specified temperature and provide specific climatic conditions. Inflatable buildings offered by the Augur - Aerostatic Systems Company are designed on the basis of multi-stage system of inner pressure control, which guarantees a comfortable environment for work and leisure.
