This invention relates to a method of manufacturing a framework having a honeycomb structure with a plurality of compartments running the length of the framework, the method comprising joining a first sheet of a flexible material to a second sheet along a plurality of join lines to form a first row of compartments, joining a third sheet to the second sheet along a plurality of intermediate join lines to form a second row of compartments, joining a fourth sheet to the third sheet, and so on. At least some of the compartments may be closed at a first end or a second end or at both ends of the framework. A further embodiment of the invention relates to a framework produced by the method. The invention may be used in the manufacture of various structures including mine supports, dam walls, storage packs, artificial reef units, road supports, contamination barriers, linings and the like. |
