Inflatable storage container

Abstract

An inflatable storage container (100) for liquids or other bulk materials comprises a first portion (5) that defines abase and a second portion (4) that defines a perimeter wall that extends from a perimeter of the base, the two portions together forming an inflatable chamber. The perimeter wall comprises at least one layer of cloth that has been impregnated with a water-settable material. In use, after or when the inflatable chamber is inflated and the water-settable material is set, the first portion and second portion define a storage chamber for a liquid or other bulk material. A method of deploying a deployable storage container is also provided. A combination of a container and an inflation system suitable for inflating the container to form its final deployed shape prior to the water-settable material having set is further provided.
