The Binishells may be the most innovative new system for construction since the introduction of prefabrication in the late 1800s. Our technology in based on the radical notion of replacing formwork and heavy machinery with air. This concept, developed by Dr. Dante Bini in the 60's uses low air pressure to lift and shape wet concrete and reinforcing steel. More than 1,600 buildings have been built using this concept in 23 countries. Our systems has been recently improved to make them code compliant, simpler, greener and more architecturally flexible. Our three new technologies, Binishells Systems 4, 5 and 6 all use 1/2 the raw materials, have a fraction of the embodied energy and can have a carbon footprint 80% smaller than traditional construction, yet result in buildings that are far stronger and more affordable. The basic technology is described above. Please roll over each section to see pictures of a small square based Binishells being inflated.
