A requirement of low cost, pollution free, flexible shelter was required for storing and housing costly equipment in remote areas. As such, a concept of an inflatable structure was thought of. This inflatable flexible structure is a mobile system, which could be used for housing costly equipment for providing emergency services, or used as transit camp at remote places. The flexible dome would be required to be inflated with air blowers for 4 to 5 hrs initially. These air blowers would be required to be operated continuously, for maintaining a constant pressure of about 4 mbar inside the envelope. Further it is provided with air conditioning units for controlling the temperature and humidity inside the envelope. The hemispherical structure is fabricated from coated fabrics having resistance to environmental degradation. It is also designed to withstand external wind speed up to 100 kmph.
