ATCO Structures & Logistics Ltd. announced today that it has
become a distributor of blast-resistant inflatable shelters and
ballistic-resistant barriers for military and civilian response.
Patented by Dynamic Air Shelters of Calgary, both products are
unique.
"These blast-resistant structures and ballistic-resistant
barriers are an important addition to our product line," said Harry
Wilmot, President & Chief Operating Officer, ATCO Structures
& Logistics. "Given that they can be set up quickly and easily
transported, they are ideal for the defence sector. They also
provide a rapid response solution to governmental and
non-governmental organizations following a natural disaster."
Air beams and a patented load transferring system contribute to
the shelters' unique blast-resistant technology. They have been
field tested to withstand explosions of 10 psi with a duration of
15 ms. The shelters are also resistant to severe weather, from 165
km/h winds to heavy snow loads. They are equally functional in
temperatures between -55 C and +70 C.
The optional ballistic-resistant protection wall has also been
independently tested and can withstand hundreds of ballistic
impacts. The wall can be used in conjunction with the shelter or as
a stand-alone barrier.
ATCO Structures & Logistics currently provides operational
support services to the International Security Assistance Force
lead by NATO in Afghanistan. Additionally, ASL has provided shelter
and real-life support services following natural disasters, most
recently to the Government of Haiti.
Dynamic Air Shelters has been manufacturing inflatable shelters
for 14 years. Its products have been used around the world.
