The diagram shows how concrete canvas is produced and then used to set up a storage area. Overall, the material is first manufactured and then shaped into a block. This block is then unfolded, inflated, and sprinkled with water – a procedure that makes the canvas solid. After this, the area inside is ready to be used for storage.
The concrete canvas is made of three different materials – each with a specific quality – that are glued on top of each other, forming three distinct layers. The top layer is porous, so it can let water through. The second layer is dry concrete fiber that absorbs water, while the third one is water-proof plastic.
In the first phase, the canvas used to build one storage unit is shaped into a rectangular block one meter in length. The block is packaged and placed onto a truck to be delivered to the unit location. Once unloaded and unpacked, the block is unfolded, a task performed with the help of the delivery truck. For this, one end of the block is secured on the ground with special pegs, while the other is attached to the truck with a strong rope. As the truck moves, it stretches the block into a thin layer 10 meters in length.
In the final phase, the stretched concrete canvas is inflated to give it the desired shape and size. The upper part of the canvas is lifted, which is followed by air being pumped inside until the canvas reaches the height of 2.5 meters. The structure is then watered and left to dry for 20-24 hours. After this, the resulting storage unit is fitted with a door and is ready to be used.
