and Livestok Industry |
| Fast-Form
components are especially useful
on farms and ranches for permanent and highly desirable fire rodent and
vermin-proof barns, cribs, sheds, crops and seed bins, spilinter-proof
corrals corrals, feed lots, livestock compounds and facilities. Little
more is needed than a shovel or post-hole digger, a pocket bubble-level
and a wagon load or bag-mix concrete and Fast-Form
components. A solitary man,
working alone can raise any such structure of incomparable durability and permanence, easier and faster than by any traditional or other means
known. |
| Developing
Regions |
|
In developing regions where demand is often beyond the practical and
financial resources available, it is the only construction system able to
offer the superior advantages of fireproof and seismic resistant concrete
frame construction for housing, shops, health services, schools and other
small to medium scale buildings at affordable cost, along with
unprecedented speed and convenience. |
| Self-Help
Housing |
|
The Fast-Form
system possesses a special virtue in those poorest or extremely under-developed
regions where primary "self help" housing is mandated. Aside
from their rapidity and ease of erection Fast-Form "self help"
structures can be enclosed temporarily with makeshift means. Thereafter,
they can be finished progressively in manageable stages with the zeal,
ingenuity and direct labor of their first or subsequent inhabitants. And,
they can be stripped down to the durable basic framework repeatedly.
Thereafter to be rebuilt or enlarged by successive generations of
occupants, closer to their own evolving patterns of need and affordability. |
| Luxury
to Shell Housing |
|
The system is applicable to all forms of single and multiple dwelling use.
From luxury residences, chalets, resorts, apartments and recreational
retreats as well as the simplest shell housing. For which it can cheaply
provide durable rot-proof "instant" sheltered platforms in
any climate, above any tropical floor or desert plain, or securely against
the steepest slope of any hillside or mountainous
terrain. At low cost and with minimum resources of skills , equipment or
labor. |
| Military
Applications |
|
The Fast-Form system
is uniquely suitable to military purposes. Due to the extreme portability
of its light weight components. Its instant perfectibility at low-skill
levels largely without tools, equipment or fasteners. The
interchangeability of its components, its instantly optional use for
either concrete or steel tubular frame construction. Its functional compatibility with all other building systems and materials. And the speed
and ease with which it can be dismantled and stored for repeated reuse
elsewhere. |
| In any stationary or mobile requirement. This
sweeping range of
adaptability and flexibility renders it suitable to every category of
military application. For every description of temporary or permanent
use. |
|
Tent-fabric can be stretched over Fast-Form
rigid frame ground level or plat formed structures to create instantaneous
economical barracks, field hospitals, commissaries, communication centers, field
headquarters and all manner of facilities for
disaster flood and emergency relief operations as well. |
