NSS Sweden supplies hangars, workshop tents, stores and shelters for military use. In consultation with the Swedish Defence Forces, we develop light, flexible shelters for many military applications.
WEATHER-SHIELDING SHELTERS FOR BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
NSS is the market leader in Scandinavia for weather-shielding shelters. In our civilian activities, we have specialised in producing innovative, functional and durable shelters for the building industry which make it possible to erect buildings and carry out large building projects, completely irrespective of weather conditions.
AIRCRAFT AND HELICOPTER HANGARS AND WORKSHOPS
Our hangars and workshop tents are used by the Swedish peacekeeping forces in locations including Afghanistan and Bosnia. Long-term field use has shown that our shelters comfortably meet all the demands of military use. Our hangars make it possible to protect aircraft and helicopters in severe weather conditions and in aggressive environments, and offer a dry, protected environment for activities that have to be done indoors.
NSS hangars and shelters have a wide range of possible applications, including:
Hangars for helicopters
Hangars for aircraft
Workshop tents
Store tents
Main stores
Weather protection over containers
Protection and storage shelters for military equipment.
MODULAR / SECTION-BUILT SHELTERS
Both our System Gibson and Gibson Light shelters are modular / section-built. This means that you can adapt a hangar, workshop tent or store hall so that it exactly suits your requirements. Shelters can easily be extended or supplemented by using a limited number of different standard components.
ALUMINIUM LOAD-BEARING STRUCTURES
All load-bearing structures in our hangars and shelters are made from aluminium. This makes our products easy to transport to the place where they will be used. An important requirement when we developed these shelters was that they should fit inside a standard shipping container. For this reason, no component is longer than 5m.
The Gibson Light hangar / shelter is also very easy to erect. The smart design and the light components mean that the hangar can be erected by only four men ‐ without the use of machinery or lifting equipment.
RAPIDLY DEPLOYABLE MILITARY SHELTERS
Thanks to its low weight and uncomplicated design, it is very easy to get our hangars and shelters in place. Their simple assembly and disassembly means that shelters can easily be packed together and moved for regrouping. This makes the shelters very suitable for military use. An instruction manual has also been prepared for packing a System Gibson into a 20ft container.
FLAMEPROOF FABRIC SHELTERS
All hangars and shelters are based on light aluminium structures and we use very high quality, flameproof fabrics. These are tried and tested materials, which can withstand rough use ‐ both in extreme weather conditions and in demanding use.
SHELTER AND HANGAR EQUIPMENT
Our hangars and shelters can be equipped with various types of equipment, depending on the application. Options include:
Air conditioning
Heating systems
Cooling
Ventilation systems
Electricity and lighting
Smoke and fire alarms
