When the US Armed Forces deploy to a remote location, the logistics for stationing them there for extended periods is complex, expensive, and timely. The Department of Defense currently uses tents for short-term deployments, builds “brick and mortar” structures for permanent deployments, and ships in trailers for long-term temporary deployments.
– These trailers are the subject of replacement.
– At an average cost of $16K per unit, plus the cost of shipping them across the globe, setting them up, and shipping them back upon completion of the mission, makes these an undesirable solution.
– Trailers take up 1450 cubic feet each in shipment, and cannot be easily stacked. They must then be transported by truck at no more than two units per load.
– Setup time once they arrive on site averages 8 man-hours per unit.
– Setup includes blocking (setting concrete blocks), jacking, connecting electrical supply, and setting concrete blast barriers around the units.
Whether housing is required for military personnel or people in disaster areas, it must be SimpleQ.
The SimpleQ system is delivered in 4×8 QPanels that can be configured to meet planned or impromptu needs. The QPanels are purpose designed for the rigorous environments of the SimpleQ.
• Coated for Weather Resistance
• Encased for Ballistic Strength
• Laminated for Wind/Shear Strength
• Coated for Insect Resistance
• Sealed for Temperature Aggregation in Hot or Cold
• Optional Temperature Vents Seal for Chemical Protection
SimpleQ is shipped on purpose designed QPallets that are utilized on site for the flooring system.
The true in-situ flexibility of the SimpleQ system is in the way panels and floors are interlocked using either the ultralight ABS extrusions or the more rugged aluminum extrusions.
SimpleQ is truly designed to be re-designed in the field as you need it.
