Wyoming, USA
December, 2003
December 4, 2003: 90th Civil Engineering personnel were recently trained on assembling / disassembling the first of their Rapid Deployment Buildings in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The buildings will serve many functions, including as office space / conference rooms during disaster response missions. The buildings provide a quick set-up, well insulated workspace – a particularly important consideration during bitter cold Wyoming winters.
PICTURED:Personnel were trained on assembling the buildings inside a 90 CE storage facility. The pallet with building components was placed outside the door of the warehouse and the components were hand carried in. Because of the compact size of the components our buildings can be assembled on any site where the panels can be carried, to include roofs of existing buildings or, as in this case, inside existing buildings.)
