POLAR STRUCTURES, SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE NCEL WANIGANS

Abstract

A family of wanigans was developed to provide portable shelters for use in polar regions. These wanigans are of two types: sled wanigans are mounted on cargo sleds for trail use; portable camp wanigans are built with a skid system for limited movement around a camp or work area. All of the wanigans are 20 feet long and 8 feet high. Both types are made in standard 8- foot widths for assembled air shipment, and in extra-wide 10-foot widths for flexibility in interior arrangement. Standard accessories for the wanigans ARE: a heating and ventilating system, an electrical harness, and a sidemounted fuel tank. This technical note contains the specifications for the wanigans presented in NCEL R-309, Polar Structures - NCEL Family of Wanigans.
