Flexible Concrete Water Tanks

These Inflatable Concrete Tanks are Easy to Deploy

— March 28, 2023 — Art & Design
These inflatable concrete tanks have been developed by the Turkey-based company Deploy to help support those still affected by the earthquake as a way to prioritize access to potable water. The water tank is constructed using a patented material known as concrete canvas that is capable of holding up to 3,698-gallons of fresh water. The tank only needs to be set up on an 8mm concrete base mat before having it installed and filled for continuous access to water.

The inflatable concrete tanks are rated to have a lifespan of roughly 20 years to make them suitable for long-term use when catastrophic events occur. The low-maintenance design of the water tanks have a self-repairing construction that's also simple to clean thanks to an easy access form.
Trend Themes
1. Inflatable Concrete Technology - There's an opportunity to explore the use of inflatable concrete technology in other industries that require fast deployment of ad-hoc structures.
2. Self-repairing Construction - Industries that require resilient infrastructure could benefit from the integration of self-repairing construction materials.
3. Portable Water Storage Solutions - There's a growing demand for portable and durable water storage solutions, particularly in regions prone to natural disasters and emergencies.
Industry Implications
1. Emergency Response and Disaster Relief - Deploy's flexible concrete water tanks present a useful innovation for emergency response and disaster relief organizations that require portable and durable water storage solutions.
2. Military and Defense - The inflatable concrete tanks' easy installation and ability to hold large amounts of water make them suitable for military and defense operations, especially in remote areas with limited access to potable water.
3. Construction and Infrastructure Development - The use of inflatable concrete technology and self-repairing construction materials could revolutionize the construction industry by enabling rapid deployment of structures and reducing maintenance and repair costs over time.
