Alaska Structures - Deployable Military Shelters

Alaska Structures® supply the world's highest quality fabric shelters to military and commercial customers. The market leaders for shelters required in extreme environments, we design and manufacture robust, durable and easy-to-construct deployable shelters that are in current operational use for every military shelter application. We stand firmly by our motto, "quality taken to extremes".

SOFT-WALLED FABRIC SHELTERS FOR COMBAT OPERATIONS

Alaska Structures have been the choice of US and UK forces as the main supplier of soft-walled shelters for combat operations. Shelters for accommodation, offices, medical, command and communication, storage, workshops, hangars kitchens, and dining rooms have been in constant use in extreme Middle East climates for over two years, requiring very low maintenance support.

Our unique fabric structures are modular by design, portable or permanent, and stronger, safer, more comfortable, easier and more economical to mobilise than any other fabric or conventional structure.

MILITARY SHELTER APPLICATIONS

With the most comprehensive range of military shelter designs in the world, Alaska Structures can and have provided a shelter for every conceivable military application.

The Alaska Small Shelter System® is a family of shelters designed to provide protection for personnel, equipment and supplies in all types of extreme climate and terrain. Similarly designed shelters can be complexed to provide medial facilities, decontamination units, command centres and complete camps.

For large storage facilities, warehouses, workshops and hangars Alaska Structures provides free-span shelters up to 65m wide and over 70m long.

COMPLETE SHELTER SYSTEMS

Alaska Structures provides complete shelter systems by complementing their comprehensive range of military shelters with Environmental Control Units (ECUs), electrical lighting and power distribution, and purpose-built re-usable containers for transport and storage.

LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMPACT ECU

Alaska Structures has recently introduced a family of Alaska environmental control units that provide easily portable heating, ventilation and cooling to any military shelter. These modern lightweight, compact ECUs are highly efficient and simple to operate and maintain.

The in-service 17.5kW and 8.25kW units have a high commonality of components ensuring ease of maintenance and low logistic burden. In the near future a 35kW unit will be introduced into service, resulting in a range of ECUs to meet every military application.

REUSABLE SHIP AND STORE CONTAINERS

The Alaska containers provide high-quality tough re-usable packaging for all military shelters. Easy to transport and store, these containers have been tested and approved for all forms of surface and air transport.

DESIGN, TEST AND EVALUATION

Alaska Structures has designed military shelters for every application ranging from command posts fitted to Land Rovers, to hangars for C17 aircraft. A complete range of modular military designs is available. Each of these designs is flexible and can be adapted for specific customer requirements. Together with the individual shelter we have a unique range of connecting systems and hubs that provide complete inter-connectivity between any size and type of Alaska shelter and can link in other shelter types as well.

Alaska shelters are the most comprehensively tested military shelters in the world. When tested alongside other modern shelters in high wind tests Alaska shelters survived 140mph winds that destroyed all others. In climatic chamber tests Alaska shelters provided the most stable and comfortable internal environment, in extremely hot and cold temperatures, of any shelter tested.

LOW WHOLE-LIFE COST SHELTERS

This tough durable design, combined with the use of the highest quality materials, results in the lowest whole-life cost of any shelter system in the world.

Accidental minor fabric damage is easily repaired in the field by the user. Strong and tough frame components are rarely damaged, but we provide a fast and efficient support service anywhere in the world that can be tailored to meet and exceed customers' requirements.
