GICHNER Shelter Systems

NAVAIR OVERVIEW

Gichner is the world's largest producer of this type of shelter. We have produced more than 7,000 of these shelters for the US Navy alone and we are the only manufacturer to have successfully qualified all 6 configurations. These shelters were designed in accordance with military specification MIL-M-81957 (AS) and meet the ISO/ANSI specification 1496/1 and ANSI MH5.1, 5.1.1, and 5.4.

The basic shelters are constructed of aluminum skins over a core of rigid closed cell foam. Aluminum structural members within the panels provide added structural strength and provide locations for the mounting of equipment using rivnut type mounting hardware. The end bands and base frame are fabricated from steel resulting in an extremely strong and rigid structure.

A significant benefit of these shelters is their ability to be complexed. This can be accomplished several ways. The shelters can be connected at the personnel doors via special butting kits that provide an environmental seal between the shelters. Multiple side removable shelters can be joined into larger complexes providing large open interior spaces.

Gichner Shelter Systems can provide any of the standard Mobile Facility configurations, combine features to create a custom configuration, or make special modifications as required for a specific application.
