Another Customized PlasChem Shelter Went Out The Door

Another customized PlasChem Shelter went out the door this week to one of our customers.

This shelter incorporates our specially designed split construction enabling it to be separated making each of the sections light enough to be transported by helicopter for deployment on the top of a mountain.  One side will house the generators and the other side will house the communications equipment.




This method of construction would also be applicable when the PlasChem Shelters need to be sent by a barge or boat to their final destination.  Many of the smaller villages in Alaska are not on the road system and are therefore unable to have these trucked to their location.  Although they are not on the road system, they still need to have their communication or power generation equipment enclosed in a rugged enclosure built to withstand the elements for decades to come.

Coming up with a plan for your shelter for your specific application is what we love to do.

Give us a call at (907)376-7160 to discuss how we can help to supply your shelter needs.

How Much Snow Can a PlasChem Shelter Hold if a PlasChem Shelter Can Get Snow?

How much snow can a PlasChem hold if a PlasChem can get snow?

Remember the good old days when we would get so much snow that you began to wonder if it was ever going to quit?  If those days return, you can rest assured knowing that your PlasChem Shelter can handle nearly any snow load that Mother Nature can throw at it. 

Based on the engineering report that was last performed on our line of PlasChem Shelters, it showed that our shelters can withstand a snow load of a staggering 160 pounds per square foot!  In comparison, the city of Anchorage only has a minimum requirement of at least 40 pounds per square foot for a flat roof on residential properties.  Meaning that a PlasChem Shelter can hold a lot of snow!

That's 4 TIMES as much snow as what would be required if it were a home in the city of Anchorage! 

Our PlasChem Shelters can also withstand a wind load of 130 MPH based on the same engineering report.

So if/when the weather outside is frightful, your equipment inside will be delightful!
