September 16/17, 2003: Nova International performed live demonstrations of its Rapid Deployment Building System at this year's Modern Day Marine expo at the Marine Corps Air Facility in Quantico, VA. Attendees were able to view multiple assembly and disassembly demonstrations on an 8' x 18' two-module building by a crew of four Nova International representatives. Each twenty minute assembly of this structure was followed by a twenty minute disassembly/storage. Please contact Nova International if a live demonstration of our building system is requested.
PICTURED: Our 8' x 18' demonstration building awaits final assembly steps. The panel with the door and window will pivot close onto the remaining building frame and lock in to form the final wall. A roof panel will then be set into place to complete the structure.
