WHAT IS THIS MATERIAL?
The material that makes these structures so durable is a flexible, concrete impregnated construction material that hardens when hydrated to form a thin, durable, water proof and fire resistant concrete layer. The material allows concrete construction without the need for plant or mixing equipment. Simply position the concrete impregnated construction material and just add water. Learn more about Combat Concrete GCCM material by viewing our Case Studies and our Combat Concrete GCCM product page.
COMBAT CONCRETE SHELTERS
Combat Concrete Shelters (CCS) are constructed from concrete impregnated construction materials, bonded to the outer surface of a plastic inner which forms a Nissen-Hut shaped structure once inflated, with steel security doors at both ends. They serve as rapidly deployable hardened shelters that require only water and air for construction. The key to CCS is the use of inflation to create a surface that is optimized for compressive loading. This allows thin walled concrete structures to be formed which are both robust and lightweight. Learn more by visiting our Combat Concrete Shelter product page and FAQs.
THE BENEFITS OF CCS
Rapid Installation
DELIVERY
The shelter is delivered folded and sealed in an air-tight sack.
INFLATION
The shelter is inflated using the electric fan provided.
HYDRATION
Water is sprayed onto the shelter until the surface is saturated.
SETTLING
Only 24 hours later, the concrete shelter is cured and ready for use.
Safe and Secure
FIRE PROOF
The hard concrete shell is ceramic and will not burn, providing a level of security not possible with soft-shell structures.
SECURE
Both robust and lightweight, these structures are capable of compressive loading and equipped with two steel security doors complete with locks.
STERILE
The sealed, plastic inner allows for a sterile environment, vastly increasing front-line medical capabilities.
INSULATED
The shelter provides exceptional environmental protection compared to a soft-shell structure.
Sustainable and Durable
LOW CARBON
The shelter uses an efficient shell structure, requiring only a fraction of the materials needed for conventional buildings.
LASTING
The strength and durability of the concrete structure allows it to last over 10 years.
MODULAR
The shelters can be docked together, expanding the space to meet operational needs.
PROTECTION
Can be fitted with a forced air/inflation unit and decontamination module to provide CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) protection.
APPLICATIONS OF USE
Below are the four main categories in which we apply our shelters and GCCM materials.
MILITARY
COMMERCIAL
HUMANITARIAN AID
DISASTER RELIEF
