Benefits
Out-of-the-box tasks
Government agencies face a wide range of tasks and problems that require non-standard solutions. Mobile laboratory complexes, arctic and polar stations, temporary housing for refugees, disinfection modules, mobile hospitals, canteens and barracks – we have an effective solution for all these tasks
Maintenance
Low temperatures, brisk winds, and swampy terrain make it difficult to store and maintain equipment. Mobile pneumatic structures allow you to eliminate the negative impact of the environment, provide employees and staff a warm and comfortable place to stay. A wide range of options in the size range of pneumatic structures, as well as individual elements (doors, gates, etc.) allows you to find the best solution for both the hangar with flying equipment, and operational headquarters
For any climate
The mobile inflatable hangar is suitable for use in the most extreme weather conditions. The permissible temperature range from -60 to +70 °C, which, combined with mobility, allows in a short time to deploy and use the shelter in remote and harsh settlements of our homeland in case of emergencies. High reliability and weather resistance pneumohangars company «Olymp» has already appreciated the state rescue and military services

Construction of a pneumohangar
- Airframe inflatable structure (AFC) – a structure consisting of interconnected pneumoballons (arches), which are the inflatable frame, front and rear end walls and a shelter top tent.
- The advantage of this simple design is that the usable area is essentially regulated by the number of arches. Air is pumped into the air cylinders and then the required pressure level is maintained by the automatic air inflation system (AAPS).
- The front and rear end walls are equipped with door units, pneumatic gates, openings for supply and exhaust ventilation and insulated ducts for the chimney.
- Inside the structure is lighting, electrical, based on the purpose of the building is set for the entrance to the people and/or cargo gates for machinery.
Airframe structures (AFC) first appeared in the middle of the XX century.
The idea for a building with no struts or supports came from the world of balloons and airships. The first air-supported structures were the DEW (long-range early warning) line domes used to protect radar equipment in the harsh Alaskan climate.
These were air-supported buildings (ASB). The stability of the framework of such structures was maintained by generators and systems of continuous maintenance of excess atmospheric pressure. The essential disadvantage of such structures was essentially one – the fuel used to maintain the dome burned out instantly.
At the end of the XX century with the development of technology it became possible to mass-produce inflatable airframe structures of large spans. This is a more advanced technology compared to air-supported structures, which does not require constant pumping of air, and hence overconsumption of energy (fuel or electricity).
Our company has extensive experience in the manufacture and operation of large-span airframe structures – pneumoangars. To date, more than 200 projects with a total area of over 150,000 square meters have been implemented.
Pneumohangars were in demand primarily for the development of new territories, because of its mobility, erection speed and resistance to harsh conditions. The main advantage over other quickly erected structures (e.g., metal frame structures) is the rapid assembly and disassembly of pneumatic construction. It is not necessary to have a special foundation, a relatively flat surface is enough to deploy a pneumoangar on the ground.
Mobility due to compactness and ease of transportation, the minimum number of approvals from regulatory agencies and an affordable price tag made AFC attractive for solving the mass of commercial and industrial problems.
Pneumoangars developed by the factory «Olymp» are suitable for a wide range of tasks. Our pneumatic structures are suitable for use in any climatic zone, including in the Far North. The materials from which we manufacture our products withstand temperature fluctuations from -50 to +60 °C. Our experts calculate the wind and snow loads for each climatic zone, which eliminates mechanical damage to the surface and ensures a long service life. Based on the objectives and wishes of customers we additionally install a heating system to maintain a comfortable microclimate inside the entire space of the hangar.
The main material in the manufacture of pneumoangars is a reinforced five-layer PVC fabric. It meets the requirements of fire safety, is resistant to ultraviolet light and is a reliable protection against other adverse environmental conditions. PVC flaps are connected to each other by means of hot air welding technology seams. With this method of connection, the bleed strength of the welded joints is at least 1.2 kN in the longitudinal direction and 1.1 kN in the transverse direction. This means that a tear is more likely to occur in a single piece of PVC than at the point of connection. But don’t worry, under normal conditions PVC fabric will never break.
It takes an average of two months from the development of the layout to the erection of a pneumatic frame structure at the customer’s site. The area and shape of the object is essentially unlimited. We produce any type of pneumohangars, any shape (from classic rectangular to freestanding rooms with independent of each other vestibules or transitions), any size (from 100 to 10000 m²), focusing on your needs.
The methods of fixing the AFC on the ground are as follows:
Anchoring method
If you choose this method of securing the AFC, you will need a concrete base. The anchor is installed in a hole specially made for it, then the arch or end wall is attached to it. Airframe dome with this method of attachment can be erected over already completed structures (swimming pools, sports fields, etc.).
The pile method
This method is relevant if there is no concrete base on the ground. A level ground is enough for pile anchoring. Holes are prepared in the soil with a drilling machine, special blanks (piles) are inserted into them, and then the fastening is done by the anchoring method. Anchors are screwed into the piles, and the elements of the structure are attached to the anchors.
The ballast method
Bags of sand are placed inside the arches, which are essentially ballast. Ballast is installed through specialized sealed zipper locks, which are pre-welded into the elements of the structure. This ensures the stability of the structure.
Tests have shown that the anchoring method is suitable for use in places where wind speed does not exceed 20-25 m/sec. The ballast method, on the other hand, ensures the stability of pneumohangars at wind speeds of 47-53 m/s.
But with all the convenience of this method of fastening PCC (cases where the customer does not have the opportunity to use the concrete base, not uncommon), there is one significant disadvantage. It is not possible to create a complete seal at the zipper locks, so more air and therefore energy is required to maintain the necessary pressure when choosing the ballasted method of attachment.
Pneumohangars, installed on a flat surface without the use of foundations, piles or other method of attachment to the ground, are classified as a temporary type of building. No special permits are required for their installation. Mobile inflatable structures are included in the category of movable property, which means that the owner of such a prefabricated and mobile structure is not subject to property tax. Do not forget that the price of prefabricated hangar is several times lower than that of permanent structures.
