The benefits of the honeycombe structure are extensive, they are modular units that could be transported by train and assempled on site.
HONEYCOMB STRUCTURES
'Innovations in aircraft design, motor vehicle technology
and light-weight construction have formed the basis for the
development of honeycomb structured panels. Their decisive
advantage is low weight, combined with great structural
strength. Because of their anti-shock properties, honeycomb
structures are today used as shock-absorbent layers both
in automobile construction and in sportsgear and sport
shoe production. They are ideally suited for design and
architectural applications as a result of their optimal ratio
of weight to load-bearing capacity and bending strength'
