Support column system for emergency isolation and treatment shelter (EITS)

a technology of support column and emergency isolation and treatment shelter, which is applied in the direction of girders, joists, building roofs, etc., can solve the problems of inconvenient construction of conventional prefabricated structures, particularly inappropriate common methods and materials, and the terrain where the structure is to be located may not be suitable for conventional construction, etc., to achieve convenient assembly and readily accommodate undesirable terrain features

Benefits of technology

[0010]The present invention therefore provides a modular, lightweight, easily-assembled, relatively rigid and permanent building structure and a method for assembly therefore which readily accommodates undesirable terrain features.

Problems solved by technology

One situation where common methods and materials are particularly inappropriate is emergency / natural disaster situations or military operations in remote locations.
One complicating factor regarding the construction of a temporary structure is that the terrain where the structure is to be located may not be suitable for construction of conventional prefabricated structures.
Oftentimes, the site where the structure is to be located includes undesirable terrain features such as undulated terrain and other undesirable environmental conditions such as sandy, muddy or flooded terrain which complications construction of relatively rigid and permanent temporary structures.

Embodiment Construction

[0059]FIG. 1A illustrates a general perspective view of an Emergency Isolation and Treatment Shelter (EITS) 10. The EITS generally includes a deck system 12, a rigid wall system 14 and a roof system 16. The EITS 10 is a rigid-walled, modular, container transportable facility that is rapidly deployable in a variety of situations. The EITS 10 can be erected and fully functioning within days offering shelter, electrical services, heating / cooling, and bathroom facilities. Assembled quicker than pre-cast or stick built structures, the EITS 10 can be erected for short or long term usage upon a variety of undesirable terrain features. Although a simplified structure is disclosed in the illustrated embodiment, it should be understood that a multitude of various structures may be combined as modules to provide significant facilities (FIG. 1B) which may be utilized for various purposes.

[0060]Referring to FIG. 2A, the deck system 12 is constructed from a multiple of deck unit modules 18. Each ...

Abstract

An Emergency Isolation and Treatment Shelter (EITS) rigid wall system is modular and includes two support columns and a rigid wall assembly therebetween. Each support column is a tubular generally rectilinear member in cross-section having a center opening and a wall receipt slot on each side thereof. Intermediate each wall receipt slot is an auxiliary area which permits running of conduits for electrical wiring, plumbing conduits as well as junction boxes, switch boxes or the like.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a temporary emergency shelter, and more particularly to a support column system for a rigid wall system.[0002]Most structures are built from traditional materials and features which are inappropriate for non-traditional construction applications speed of assembly is essential. One situation where common methods and materials are particularly inappropriate is emergency / natural disaster situations or military operations in remote locations. In such situations, it is required that the materials used to construct a temporary building be light weight such that they are readily transported. Other requirements include low cost, ease of assembly, and minimization of the tools required for assembly.[0003]Various prefabricated, temporary and modular building systems currently exist. Each has various tradeoffs including transportability, construction time and resistance to the elements. Typically, the more permanent the structur...
