The Air Form method represents an upgrade in the technology and equipment required.

Fabricating the shell is much more efficient because all concrete is applied only to the outside.

The airform mould also leaves a smoother internal finish compared to the basic no-mould method where material is applied to the internal and external side of the reinforcing system.

The air form can be reused many times.
