The Airform inflation (top to bottom) of the 165' diameter, 40,000 ton fly ash storage in Walnut Cove, N. C.

The Airform is securely fastened to the concrete ring foundation.

Then the inflator fans are turned on. The fans push air at 1/13 pounds per square inch or 2" of water column.The dome is very large. Notice the men standing around the Airform during inflation.

The dome will inflate in about two hours. Once it is fully pressurized, the fabric Airform's surface becomes smooth. It is now ready for the urethane foam, rebar and concrete. The dome will only take about four more weeks to complete.
