Inflatable Matrix Web Constructed Airbag
The lifting bags had to be designed and fabricated in a way to ensure the 1.2m x 1.2m x 20cm inflatable structure could be inflated evenly to 200kPa+.
Giant Inflatables created an airbag using a Matrix Web Construction, which comprises of thousands of nylon threads interconnecting the top and bottom layers of the airbag, establishing a robust core when inflated.
