Description

Standard tent for emergency field hospital, health center, storage, etc. Can be attached one to another to make a longer structure. The tent can be delivered with or without the following options:

  • A bathtub ground sheet to cover the complete surface of the tent.
  • An inner tent, with its own bathtub ground sheet, to increase the protection from heat, cold, wind, dust, insects, etc.
  • A set of 5 partitions to create separate areas and closed cabins inside the inner tent.
  • A shade net for hot climate to place over the tent (includes a specific frame), for an increased protection from heat.

 

This type of tent is especially designed for its resistance to wind, rain, micro-organisms. The polyester/cotton canvas combines strength, durability, waterproof, and breathing capacities.

Expected life span is 1 year in a tropical environment.

Disinfection: Chlorine will damage the canvas (0.2% concentration is a maximum advisable).

Setting up requires 8 persons, and take 2 hours (instructions included). Avoid setting it up under trees as this will lead to canvas rotting. Use all ground fixings to ensure the maximum wind resistance. Selection of types and manufacturers is to be handled by HQ technical and purchasing departments. Full specifications can be obtained at HQ. The specifications below defines the minimum quality for the main material of the tent. Adherence to these specifications is a good indication for pre-selecting interested manufacturers.

Specifications

  • Outer tent dimension: 7,5 m long by 6 m width. Ridge height 3m. Side height 2.1m
  • Four doors: 1 on each end with fast opening/closing system, and 1 on each side.
  • Full width opening possible on both ends.
  • 3 high ventilation windows on each side, with sun-visors/shutters, grill, and mosquito netting.
  • 1 high ventilation window on each gable with shutter, canopy/sun-visor, and mosquito netting.
    • 2 electric cable passage at each gable (top of side wall).
    • x1 logo at each gable end to the right side of the door
    • 2pcs x "removable" IOM logos made on matching fabric 1m wide (shipped attached to walls and/or included with the assembly instruction).
    • Velcro strips at parallel sides for logo attachment, minimum of 100 mm-width all around and be of sufficient strength that logo panels will remain in place under normally anticipated use.
