CABLE-NET SYSTEM
by
Air Structures American Technologies, Incorporated (ASATI) ASATI introduced the bias-harness cable net system in 1968, covering a track and field facility at Harvard University. Since then, this patented system has been applied to hundreds of ASATI recreational and commercial air-supported structures. This unique safety network of vinyl-coated cables can withstand the most severe environmental conditions, while the air-tight anchorage system provides even greater stability. Angle bars anchor the cable net and the structure envelope. With this system, fabric loads are transferred first to the cable net system, and then to the anchorage system. Even in winds of up to 150 miles per hour, fabric loads are reduced to about 6 pounds per square inch. These same conditions in an unharnessed structure could cause loads in excess of 100 pounds per square inch, resulting in the failure of the structure. ASATI's cable net construction, on the other hand, provides the most fail-safe air-supported structure in the industry- exceeding building code requirements!
