Expandable container:
The MECC™ combines Weatherhaven's fabric shelter technology with the world's first standard in transportation-the ISO container. The MECC mobile shelter is a fully assembled, self-contained unit, offering three times the floor space of a conventional wood or steel-constructed module with the same shipping footprint.
Applications/Configurations:
- Command & Control Centers
- Emergency Response
- Kitchens
- Medical Facilities
- Ablutions
- Laundry Facilities
- Workshops (such as Tire Changing, Aircraft Maintenance & Electronic Repair)
- HAZMAT Response
- One-third the shipping footprint of the deployed floor space, for transportation efficiencies and savings
- ISO and CSC certification for air, land, or sea transport and stacking
- Can be loaded for transport using forklifts, cranes, helicopters, PLS, Bail Bar, CHU, and specialty jack stands
- Can be transported by truck, trailer, rail, aircraft, or ship
- A trailer or mobilizer to transport the MECC can be provided
- The unit can be locked during transit, securing any equipment from theft
- Can be easily redeployed for future missions, built to last 15-20 years in the field, for reduced capital investment
- Set up by two people in 10-15 minutes, with no special skill or knowledge required
- Can be expanded without exposing personnel or internal content to outside weather
- Can be deployed on a truck, trailer, or wheel set for ease of mobility
- Durable construction, and latching and locking mechanisms make the MECC resistant to theft and cargo damage, protecting valuable assets and reducing transport delays
- Insulated, spacious interior
- Minimal maintenance required
- Performs in extreme weather conditions
- Tested to meet Milspec
- Can be interconnected to form larger and fully enclosed complexes
- Designed to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) specifications
- Fully outfitted with electrical, mechanical, HVAC, and furnishings
- Can be stacked for storage or use if the site is tight on space
The MECC is available in a standard length of 20' and height of 8 feet, with other height and length options available. The 10-foot MECC (nicknamed the "Mini MECC") is ideal for applications requiring a smaller footprint. This shelter can be custom configured for your specific needs, and is designed for a variety of uses, including a kitchen, command post, ablution, or deployable lab. The 10-foot MECC:
- Is an ISO-certified container in its packed configuration
- Can be manufactured with a steel or aluminum core
- Has almost all the options of a 20-foot MECC
- Links to all other Weatherhaven expandable containers and softwall MTS shelter
- Standard Nominal Sizes: 8' wide x 8' high x 10' long, or 8' wide x 8'6" high x 10' long
The MECC also comes in an extended-height version. The 12'-6" Extended Height Mobile Expandable Container Configuration (EHMECC™) is ideal for applications such as Command and Control Centres and Field Hospital Operating Rooms.
