Qualification and Operational Testing of Mobile Shelters

Reliability, safety, and full operational readiness are the crucial characteristics of any mobile shelter. In our laboratory, we conduct comprehensive testing to verify your structure – from its structural integrity to its compliance with the latest defense and civilian standards. Discover how we can validate the superior quality of your product.

1. Structural Safety and Resistance to Extreme Threats

We check how the shelter behaves under the most demanding conditions, simulating real-world battlefield and disaster scenarios. Our tests guarantee that the structure will protect personnel and equipment when it matters most.

2. Sealing and Containment Integrity

  • Debris Loading: Verification of load-bearing capacity and resistance to deformation under the weight of collapsed structures.
  • Blast Wave Impact: Testing structural integrity and the tightness of critical joints after exposure to an explosion’s shockwave.
  • Dynamic Shock and Impact: Testing the resistance of the entire structure and its installed equipment to sudden impacts and overloads (shock tests).

A critical element for protecting personnel and equipment. We verify the shelter’s ability to completely isolate from the external environment, which is essential for air filtration systems.

  • Tightness Tests: Air and water tightness tests performed according to the project’s technical specifications.
  • Pressure Control: Verifying the ability to maintain the required overpressure or underpressure, crucial for the effective operation of filtration systems.

3. Environmental Resistance – Ready for Any Climate and Terrain

A mobile shelter must operate reliably in all climatic conditions. In our environmental chambers, we simulate extreme temperatures, humidity, precipitation, and dust.

  • Extreme Temperatures: Functional tests in temperatures ranging from arctic conditions (per client requirements) to desert heat (standard up to +65°C / +149°F).
  • Humidity and Condensation: Long-term tests for resistance to high relative humidity.
  • Atmospheric Precipitation: Simulation of heavy rainfall to verify the tightness of doors, hatches, cable glands, and other moving parts.
  • Dust and Sand: Tests for resistance to dust penetration and its impact on mechanisms, filters, and electronics.

4. Material Properties – Durability in Every Detail

A shelter’s durability starts at the material level. We analyze samples of structural components, coatings, and equipment to ensure their long service life and resilience.

  • Corrosion Testing: Salt spray tests and cyclic corrosion tests according to international standards.
  • Weathering Resistance: Verification of resistance to UV radiation, moisture, and thermal cycles.
  • Material Analysis: Full identification of the chemical composition of materials (spectroscopy, chemical analysis).
  • Chemical Resistance: Testing resistance to contact with substances such as decontamination agents, fuels, or lubricants.
  • Physicochemical Properties: Measurements of hardness, density, and mechanical strength.

5. Systems and Energy Performance – Power Supply Reliability

We inspect the heart of the shelter – its power and life support systems. We verify that they operate efficiently and are ready for emergency situations.

  • Energy Balance: Power consumption measurements in various operating modes (standby, full load).
  • Backup Power Systems: Functional tests of emergency power systems (UPS, generators) during a mains failure.
  • HVAC Performance: Testing the effectiveness of heating and air conditioning – measuring the time to reach set parameters and maintain stability.

6. Signature and Surface Properties

In a modern operational environment, remaining undetected is key. We examine the shelter’s surface properties in terms of its thermal and visual signature.

  • Thermal Signature: Analysis of heat emissions, identification of thermal bridges and hot spots (e.g., ventilation outlets).
  • Camouflage Coating Properties: Photometric measurements (light reflectance, luminance, color) to assess camouflage effectiveness.

7. Precision Metrology, Dimensional, and Mass Measurements

Dimensional and mass accuracy is critical for mobility, transport, and system integration. We perform precise measurements using advanced equipment.

  • Dimensional Measurements: Determining the final product’s dimensions up to 30 meters in length.
  • Component Metrology: Verification of flatness, straightness, assembly tolerances, and hole positioning.
  • Precision Weighing:
    • Small Components: 5 g – 35 kg.
    • Platform Scales: 0.5 kg – 10,000 kg per platform, with multi-point configurations available for large objects.

8. Standards Compliance and Professional Documentation

Every test concludes with a detailed report that serves as an official confirmation of the product’s properties and its compliance with current standards.

  • Compliance Assessment: Verification against the requirements of civilian (e.g., EN, ISO) and military standards.
  • Accredited Procedures: Reporting in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 where applicable.
  • Full Documentation: We provide complete reports, photo/video documentation, raw measurement data, and recommendations for corrective actions.

9. Type-Approval Testing for Towing Couplings

Testing conducted in accordance with the scope of: UN Regulation No. 55 – Type-approval of mechanical coupling components of combinations of vehicles
