The Alpha Multi-purpose tent

The Alpha is designed for operations in warm climates, designed with a selfsupported aluminium-hinged structure facilitating a rapid erection and a most robust construction. Detachable gables opens for lengthwise interconnection and accordingly extended utilisation. Inner linings are available, as well as tailor-made ground sheets.

The Alpha has been in service in extreme climates like in the UAE, and in more diversified climates like the Balkans.This multi purpose tent has served as the sole shelter in camps for 10.000 people for the purposes of accommodation, kitchen, offices, dining hall, communication center and recreation hall.

The experiences gained from extensive use in a variety of weather conditions and
different operational tasks have created an improved focus on details and user preferences. Together with the field personnel and users we have created solutions that
meet the requirements where they are formed – that’s the way we work.
