Company Description
PNEUMATIC STRUCTURES TECHNOLOGIES S.L. (PSTECH) is a start-up company created in February 2015 after an initiative of BuildAir (a company expert on the design and construction of inflatable hangars, www.buildair.com), the International Center on Numerical Methods in Engineering CIMNE, www.cimne.com), and other investors. PSTECH team provides the company with all the design, production, commercialization and maintenance capacities required to successfully produce and commercialize the inflatable structures.
Product description
PSTech’s PS-Bridge:
Inflatable structures are ideal for fast transport and assembly in extreme situations. The Tensairity® structural concept is based on the synergistic combination of light-weight rigid compression elements, underlying cables acting as the tension element, and enhanced air-beams (at some 250 mbars) to impart integrity to the system. PSTech’s PS-Bridge is a new concept of ultra light-bridge of rapid deployment that solves current logistical needs in less than 5 hours. Thus, it minimizes the impact of natural disasters in the affected areas and the affected population.
PS-bridge is a modular system that allows reaching lights up to 31 meters. According to military regulations of temporary bridges , the PS-Bridge is catalogued as MLC 30, which is equivalent to the passage of vehicles of about 30 tons of weight.
