| HAB has been developed by Hesco Bastion Ltd as a result of the ever increasing threat to deployed personnel from indirect fire weapons. The bunker is designed to provide safe living accommodation for up to 8 persons giving each person a space of around 2m square. There is up to 2.16m of headroom inside the bunker. HAB will provide protection from weapons systems up to and including large mortar rounds. It has side walls formed from Mil 6 Concertainer units and a specifically engineered roof structure to combat the effects of indirect fire weapons. It is provided in kit form and is delivered in 2 wooden crates. These crates hold all the components for the bunker and indeed form part of the structure themselves. Everything required is provided in the kit less the fill material. A simple toolkit is also provided to ensure that those constructing the bunker have such tools as string lines, tape measures and spirit levels. Two bunkers can be built in two days by one section of soldiers assisted by a loading shovel. The bunker can be fitted out for air conditioning, heating and other services by using the factory formed aperture placed at one end. A HAB has a footprint of 12.4m long and 6.2m and an overall height of around 3.5m. The modular design of the HAB allows more complex structures to be built. In its most simplistic form this would entail joining units end to end. |
