An Air-Supported Facility is an engineered building, formed by one or more layers of continuous flexible membranes anchored to the ground or to a wall so that a leak-proof seal is constituted. This airtight structure is then inflated and pressurized by the constant supply of air. On average the life of an Air Supported Facility is that between 20-25 years.
The Advantages of an Air-Supported Facility Among the many,Multi-Sport air structure the following are the main advantages of using and Big-Span Air Supported Faciliity versus a converntional building...
As big as you want…
Given the fact that our structures are supported by air, we have no size limitation.
Clear Span Building
Our buildings are held upright by air, not columns, therefore there are no obstructions whatsoever throughout the building, allowing the user to create ANY activity necessary under a controlled environment.
Temporary/Removable
This advantage gives the user the flexibility to use the facility for seasonal activities, therefore installing and uninstalling the facility throughout the year, regardless of size.
Weather Resistance / Structural Integrity
Along with the fabrication of the structure itself, we also provide state-of-the-art anchorage systems along with a cable-net system which solidify the facility’s structural integrity. The structures are engineered to resist winds of over 130 MPH and can resist snow loads of over 1 Million pounds per square inch
Time of Manufacturing
Logistically the greatest advantage of an Air Supported Facility. In comparison to a conventional building which can take years from plan design to occupancy, our techniques and technologies would allow us to enclose of area of 100,000 sq.ft and make it habitable within 12 weeks of commencing fabrication.
Cost
Bottom Line, the largest advantage in comparison of a conventional building. On average costs of an structure versus that of a conventional building
The support of pressurized air allows the facility to be clear span and range in size from as small as two tennis courts to beyond 6.5 acres (4.5 hectares) which we manufactured and currently houses a waste management plant.
In order to keep a stable pressurized environment, the Air Structures utilizes air locks and revolving doors...
Our Air Supported Facilities are capable of resisting X winds and X snow loads.
The facilities are also insulated and can come with heating and/or air conditioning units.
Chongqi Air Supported Facilities open the door to year-round or seasonal sports. Given our flexibility, we can provide a retractable anchorage system which would allow the Structure to be easily installed and un-installed for seasonal play.
Chongqi Driving Range domes come with an inner mesh lining.
Aside from the task of enclosing over 6 acres of land, our facilities also assist in the containment of harmful gas byproduct of the waste. Chongqi unique Vehicular Airlock system allows large vehicles to enter freely without disrupting the controlled pressure.
Chongqi Air Supported Facilities create a fast and efficient of enclosing a specific area in order to create an exhibition or convention center capable of a having large traffic of people.
Storage plants have benefited greatly from our facilities given the fact that they are not restricted in their storage layout due to columns or other obstructions, our clear span structures allow easy navigation throughout the facility therefore facilitating the job.
