Around the globe, from cutting-edge research in
universities to contractors and architects
working in the field, fabric forming is a
significant new force in concrete construction.
The
International Society of Fabric Forming
(ISOFF) has been created to coalesce these
efforts and achieve a synergy to further advance
this powerful, sustainable technology.
"Research is
being conducted in eight universities around the
world", said Professor West, Director of CAST,
a research institute in Winnipeg Canada dedicated to
fabric forming. "Leading contractors in many
countries are harnessing the incredible efficiencies
of fabric to create a greener future."
