The February deployment to Quebec demonstrated the capability and responsiveness of Weatherhaven in one of the harshest winter operating environments. Facing heavy snowfall, sub-zero temperatures, and challenging site conditions, our experienced installation team mobilised quickly and executed the project with precision. This deployment reflects our commitment to delivering reliable shelter solutions anywhere in the world, ensuring clients remain operational regardless of climate or logistical complexity.
Working on existing concrete slabs at the client training area, the team installed seven Series 4 shelters; six measuring 20′ x 24′ and one larger 20′ x 40′ structure. Despite the cold and snow-covered conditions, installation progressed efficiently using standard tools, with every structure securely anchored, tensioned, and sealed. The ability to complete a full multi-shelter installation in winter conditions highlights both the robustness of the system and the professionalism of Weatherhaven’s field crews.

Engineered Dimensions And Structural Design Optimised For Harsh Winter Conditions
The client required Series 4 shelters with a 20-foot width and extendable lengths in 4-foot increments, allowing precise configuration to meet site requirements. With a height of approximately 12 to 14 feet and a hemi-cylindrical profile, the structures naturally shed snow and resist accumulation. The galvanized steel arch frame system provides strength and durability, while maintaining a lightweight, modular form that can be transported and assembled efficiently in remote or extreme environments.

Integrated Ventilation And Chimney Compatibility Enhance Operational Flexibility
Each shelter is designed to accommodate natural ventilation and field-installed systems such as a vent chimney. A dedicated opening was integrated into the fabric membrane to support heating systems, allowing warm air circulation and improved snow shedding from the roof. Combined with ventilated endwall windows featuring mesh screens, this ensures airflow control while maintaining protection from the elements, critical for maintaining interior comfort in cold-weather deployments.

Modular Construction Allows Rapid Installation Using Minimal Equipment On Site
Designed for speed and simplicity, the Series 4 shelters require no specialised tools or on-site welding. Components are prefabricated and assembled using basic equipment, enabling rapid deployment even in remote or frozen conditions. The shelters can be installed, dismantled, and redeployed with ease, providing long-term operational flexibility. This modular approach ensures that infrastructure can adapt quickly to changing mission requirements without compromising performance.

Clear Span Interior And Durable Materials Support Long-Term Operational Use
The clear span design eliminates internal supports, maximising usable interior space for accommodation or operational activities. Structural components are constructed from galvanized steel with powder-coated finishes, ensuring corrosion resistance and long-term durability. Zinc-plated fasteners and reinforced connections further enhance performance in harsh environments, while the tensioned design maintains structural integrity under snow loads and wind conditions typical of Quebec winters.

Global Installation Capability Ensures Reliable Delivery In The Most Demanding Locations
This Quebec project reinforces Weatherhaven’s ability to deliver complete shelter solutions worldwide, including professional installation services in extreme climates. From initial site verification through to final inspection, every step is executed by trained experts who understand the demands of field deployment. By combining advanced shelter technology with proven installation expertise, Weatherhaven ensures clients receive dependable, high-performance infrastructure wherever their operations require it.
