2 hours to set up and 24 hours till they're inhabitable. Fire proof, secure, and cleanable. They seem like an excellent solution for long term disaster operations.

Here's my question.

How do you take it down? Destroy it?

[ny10570 745]

Same way you take down any other concrete structure. Crush it.

It's a remarkable idea, and thanks for sharing the information. I want one. The logistics may be a consideration. Can it be set up in rain or does it need some curing period without water on it, how much does it weigh, and will it cure in colder conditions? I'd also want to know how stable it would be to aftershocks.
