D1 · WHEN THE SITE HAS NOTHING

Rapid deployable space

The disaster area has nothing. I need usable buildings within 24 hours.

Emergency shelter, field medical facilities and command posts for sites where conventional construction cannot start and cannot wait.

Short answer

The binding constraint after a disaster is rarely money — it is how much shelter fits on the transport available and how fast it becomes usable once it lands. Inflatable structures pack to a fraction of a frame shelter's volume and erect without lifting equipment or trained crews, which is why humanitarian and defence buyers accept a higher cost per square metre.

Typical use

  • Post-earthquake and flood shelter
  • Epidemic isolation and testing
  • Field medical facilities
  • Forward command posts
  • Large-event medical and operations support
  • Sites where roads are cut and heavy equipment cannot reach

Where this is the wrong purchase

For accommodation lasting more than about a year, prefabricated cabins or permanent reconstruction cost less and last longer. These products are built for the transitional window, and saying otherwise to close a sale creates a problem eighteen months later. Humanitarian procurement also gates on documented test reports before it gates on product — that documentation is what we are assembling now.

We will tell you what we can evidence today.

We are not quoting at this stage. Send the application, the environment and the quantity, and we will come back with what we can document now, what would need testing first, and what we would decline. That answer costs nothing and it is honest.
