AAS Quick Deployment Shelter, Canopy & Emergency Shelters in Nigeria

The Approachable Architectural Structures QDS Shelter is heavy-weight and quick to deploy yet tough enough to withstand heavy and repeated use in Military and Civil Defence operations.

The quick deployment shelters from Approachable Architectural Structure don't require any specific tools, site preparations, or foundations, and they don't require any specialist expertise beyond basic building.

In hot or cold climates, for short or long-term use, this robust, one-piece shelter is the ideal solution. With optional air conditioning, the AAS Quick Deployment Shelter is more than a match for the conditions. 

It’s also exceptionally versatile and easily adapted for different duties by simply changing the detachable liner pod. A temperature controlled command center can be rapidly transformed in minutes into a mass decontamination facility, a first-aid post or perhaps a temporary mortuary by simply fitting one of our standard liner pods. And if you need something special, we can work with you to develop a customized liner pod. One shelter – a multitude of uses.

The AAS QDS has been designed for maximum flexibility in meeting operational requirements. It can be used alone or several connected together to create extra space.

The AAS QDS is a highly effective and practical solution for a wide range of applications including:

• Command and Control Centre
