Where Can a PlasChem Shelter be Deployed?

We are often asked where can a PlasChem Shelter be Deployed?  In short, they have been deployed in some of the most remote locations on planet Earth.  Here in Alaska, many of the places where telecommunication, radar, wellhead, or oil and gas equipment needs to have a protective shelter often isn't exactly accessible by road.  Sometimes the locations are literally hundreds of miles from the nearest road. 

The PlasChem Shelter's lightweight construction allows for deployment by helicopter to remote locations saving our customers tens of thousands of dollars in on-site construction costs.  Having the ability to be dropped into location, often pre-rigged with the customer's components safely mounted inside, can also save our customers months of waiting for projects to be completed due to costly weather delays.  

We're able to construct our PlasChem Shelters into separate sections in order to offer a wider selection over our standard sizes.  This also allows us to create a PlasChem Shelter package that can be safely airlifted in separate sections into position allowing it to be deployed without having to hire exorbitantly expensive, and often unavailable skycranes.  








A PlasChem Shelter is so strong, it can be designed to double as a helipad in extreme locations where it could otherwise be impractical, if not impossible, to land anywhere else at the site.

Why Should My Company Consider a Fiberglass PlasChem Shelter?

Why should my company consider a fiberglass PlasChem Shelter?  Over the next few posts we will illustrate the reasons why you should consider one.    

The number one reason that you should consider a PlasChem Shelter is that they are extremely durable and require virtually little to no maintenance over it's lifetime. 

PlasChem Shelters can be found all around planet Earth in some of the most remote locations imaginable and have been subjected to every type of climate condition that Mother Nature can throw at them.

How long will they last?  

To be completely honest, we're not exactly sure because none of them have ever failed. 

But what we do know is that we have been building these now for nearly 30 years, with almost every one of them still being utilized out in the field still doing what they were initially intended to do.  All while requiring little to no maintenance whatsoever over that time frame.

Pound for pound, fiberglass is stronger than sheet metal or any other building materials commonly used in shelters like this.  Not only is fiberglass stronger than sheet metal, but it is also highly resistant to corrosion, making it an ideal building material in areas that are on or near the ocean.  

In order to show you how strong our fiberglass configuration is we had the shop take a paper towel tube and wrap it with the same layout that we use on our PlasChem Shelters and on the Pac-Rat ATV/UTV Trailers that we also manufacture.  The following video illustrates just how strong our products are!
