Custom Hidden Door

•  Local, plentiful sand or regolith is pressure-packed into low-mass, flexible shells that can be affordably moved around the globe – or off it – and fully deployed in 24 hours.
• Furnishings and infrastructure built into the pre-fab shell create a turnkey, home-like experience upon deployment.
• Modules can be customized with optimal shapes for use as fortifications, blast barriers, rotary-wing hangars, and protective outposts for vehicles and personnel.
• AKA granular compression, this proven technology contributes to foil-packed coffee bricks, iRobot’s gripper hand, rammed earth construction and the patented Habolith concept.
  Value proposition: Concrete-like stiffness with little or no water or binders.
• Formworks are typically plywood sheets that hold concrete in a fixed shape while it cures. Planetary Shelter’s patented design retains the formwork, with its exterior layer of ceramic fiber, throughout each unit’s lifespan.
  Value proposition: Extra structural support plus protection from radiation, extreme weather, and gunfire.
• Lightweight shells can be linked as they are erected by means of a narthex bondable to the built-in openings of two Haboliths.
  Value proposition: Instant villages.
• To enable soil-jamming, columnar walls must be inextensible. Yet they are designed to be flexible enough prior to filling to allow compaction.
  Value proposition: Low mass and volume before arriving on-site translates to reduced shipping costs.
