TEMPORARY STRUCTURES

RK EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SUPPORT

MOBILE KITCHENS & FIELD CATERING

Providing nationwide delivery and turnkey service, RKEMS is also a provider for temporary to semi-permanent disaster relief structure solutions, able to quickly assemble and operate flexible, scalable shelters in field environments, and possessing an extensive inventory of all popular structure and tenting varieties. Temporary structures are scalable to many sizes and footprints and appropriate for temporary or semi-permanent use. Our team has extensive emergency, commercial, industrial and event experience with structures, tenting and can support a variety of requirements.

Temporary Structure Construction

Response & Recovery Applications

Our team has decades of experience and expertise delivering, assembling and operating large temporary structures utilized for these and other basecamp applications:

  • Temporary Cafeterias/DFAC & Field Kitchens
  • Temporary Housing/Billeting Solutions
  • Operations & Communications Structures
  • Education & MWR Facilities
  • Medical Care & Counseling Facilities
  • Temporary Warehouses & Distribution
  • Vehicle Maintenance & Temporary Hangars

In the last five years, our team has deployed and rapidly assembled more than 1.3 million sq. ft. of temporary structures in support of emergency basecamps and missions all over the U.S. and Caribbean. We deliver, install and furnish temporary structures, which can be built with footprint flexibility on the site. We can address any initial site improvements and implement structure and tenting solutions rapidly, while providing the supporting services that keep them operational and comfortable, such as flooring, HVAC, lighting and electrical, furniture and waste management.

TEMPORARY STRUCTURES – ROBUST & FLEXIBLE

Structure tents are engineered structures featuring modular scalability and an assembled box beam (or I-beam) framework that supports the fabric roof, providing a more robust construction that makes them suitable for longer-term applications. Structure tents can be anchored using stakes, water ballasts or gravity blocks, and when staked, structure tents can handle wind loading up to 65 knots (75 mph). Structure tent lengths are modular in ~3m/10’ increments and can be built to virtually any length in both small profile (<15m wide) and large profile (>15m wide) footprints depending on available space.

The framing of structural tents makes them strong and also provides a clear span beneath the tent with no poles or obstacles, making them very flexible for so many basecamp applications. Strong and durable and customizable in width, length and height, structure tents can be built to virtually any size to suit emergency management needs or objectives, as small as 10’x10’ to larger than 132’ x 300’. We can deliver structure solutions to and beyond a 164’ (50m) width, which can scale to long lengths where location footprints allow.

Tent Configuration Examples:

40' scalable in 10’ increments, beyond ~600’

Leg Length Options: 8’ & 10’ (wall height)
Peak Height: 17’ or 19’ (at ridge)

Structure Tent Dimensions, Large Profile
