TAM - Mobile Military Shelters Using a Professional Glued Hard Skin, Lightweight Sandwich System

For more than 25 years, TAM AS has designed and produced all types of mobile military lightweight shelters, using a self-produced, professional, glued, self-supporting sandwich system.

Our sandwich is a very strong, insulated, self-bearing building material which does not need internal or external stiffeners, corrugation or similar products. In controlled production, an inner and outer skin is glued onto a high-quality core material. If using skins of aluminium on a high-quality core, a high-quality sandwich material is obtained which is not affected by humidity or fungus.

Our sandwich system is ideal for use in mobile military shelters, and provides several advantages, such as low weight, high strength, excellent quality and lasting insulation. A quality sandwich-shelter has no maintenance costs except for moving parts and paint when needed.

TAM MOBILE MILITARY AND EXPANDABLE SHELTER SYSTEMS

TAM shelter systems consist of a wide range of shelters, such as expandable 20ft ISO shelters for rapid deployment. These come in three different basic types.

TAM EXpandable (TAMEX) expands two or three times, with flat floor and full standing height all over. The TAMEX has integrated hydraulic-jack legs, for levelling in rough terrain, and expanding, by remote control, within minutes.

TAM also supplies brief shelters, which expand as a 'drawer,' and Deployable Communication Module (DCM) shelters, which have a centre room and separate side room(s), and can be expandable or non expandable.

The above-mentioned expandable models can be mixed when suitable, and a wide range of options are available, such as the integrated hook-lift system, Loading Handling System (LHS), and hydraulic-jack legs.

MOBILE MILITARY AND EXPANDABLE SHELTER SYSTEMS

Other mobile military and expandable shelter systems supplied by TAM include:

• 10ft ISO expandable and non-expandable shelters
• Shelters for tracked vehicles such as Alvis Hägglunds BV-206 and NATCH P6
• Communication shelters for HUMMWV
• A wide range of tailor-made communication and command-post shelters
• A wide range of possibilities and options for flat-packed shelters
• Power-supply generator shelters or super-silent generators for tunnel mounts

TAM'S TAILOR-MADE MOBILE SHELTERS

TAM is situated in North Norway. The Norwegian Royal Army, Air Force and Navy (FLO/LAND, FLO/SEA, FLO/AIR, FLO/IKT) are located in the local area, which has allowed TAM to obtain great knowledge and practice in field activity.

TAM has specialised in producing tailor-made mobile shelters for the military and professional market, focusing on rapid deployment and quality. Our shelter systems are used within ground and satellite communication, command centres, radar systems, laboratories and a wide range of support shelters.

Most TAM shelter systems are developed in close collaboration with clients, and our experience makes us a reliable and well-informed partner.

TAM works either as a direct supplier to the Norwegian peace-keeping forces, or as a subcontractor to the military industry.

TAM SHELTERS AROUND THE WORLD

You will find our shelter systems in many different parts of the world. The shelter systems are vital attributes to the Norwegian Defence Communication and Data Services Administration (NODECA - FLO/IKT), helping to obtain reliable satellite and local communication systems.

TAM’s shelters are also used in well-known systems like MAMBA, ARTHUR and DCM, and different GIS module systems supplied by international communication-system suppliers.

63000 TAM SHELTER SYSTEM FOR THE HUMMWV

TAM has designed and delivered a great quantity of a new type of communication shelter to the HUMMWV, with focus on extremely hot climates and low sound-levels. To meet this challenge, TAM has taken forward a new type of super-silent diesel generator set, which fulfils even higher demands than normal military standards.

The shelter system is based on TAM's high quality, self-supporting sandwich system, and meets the demand for a low weight, good insulation and long-lasting product.

DIFFERENT TAM SHELTER PROJECTS

TAM has participated in the design and production of a wide range of shelter systems. TAM works both as a direct supplier and as a subcontractor to military industrial companies, supplying shelters from empty to fully equipped. However, to avoid conflicts with potential buyers TAM never supplies communication equipment or similar systems.
