TEMPORARY POLAR STRUCTURES-MAINTENANCE SHELTER.
Abstract
The need for improved facilities for equipment maintenance and repair in temporary polar camps resulted in the development and evaluation of a packaged maintenance shelter for these camps. The shelter, a 28-by 56-by 12-ft prefabricated building with a heavy-duty floor is equipped with a steel beam foundation, a heating and ventilating system, an electrical system, and shop equipment and tools for the general maintenance and repair of all types of transportation and construction equipment generally associated with polar operations. Prototype shelters were tested and evaluated. It was concluded from these tests that the shelter and its outfitting is well suited for the maintenance and repair of equipment at temporary polar camps and that it should be included as a facility for such camps.
