PSTech develops light, inflatable and portable products designed for emergency applications

Emergency and Humanitarian Aids

The PS-Bridge has a clear primary target user to government and international organizations responsible for rapid response solutions in emergencies or humanitarian crisis situations.

Pedestrian bridges

The PS-Bridge has the potential to be used as a temporal pedestrian bridge for which metallic or composite material solutions are typically used.

Military bridges

The PS-Bridge can also be applicable as a military bridge for rear operations.

Vision

An average of 1 natural disaster per day occur every year. Almost 50% of the material and human resources mobilized in a catastrophe are necessary to restore basic infrastructures. Current solutions for temporary bridges, and in particular those of rapid deployment, have been developed during World War II. Since then these bridges have suffered virtually no innovations. They are heavy solutions, difficult to transport and require a great effort of assembly, often with heavy equipment needs.

Mission

PSTECH develops light, inflatable and portable products specially designed for emergency applications when an immediate deployment of infrastructures is required. These inflatable structures are envisioned to contribute to emergency services to drastically reduce the resources needed for transportation and assembly, allowing these resources to be used to assist population and bring them food, water and medicines.
