Security Inspection
Weather Protection for People and Equipment
The Department of Homeland Security has mandated inspection for people and freight at all border crossings. But constructing conventional buildings to serve as inspection stations can be an expensive proposition. Shelter Structures, Inc. offers a cost-effective alternative-tensioned fabric shelters.
Fast Installation
Our shelters can be custom-built to your specifications. We'll provide you with recommendations for size, shape, and materials, ensuring that the shelter meets your objectives. From the time you place your order until the shelter is installed and fully functional is usually just 4-6 weeks.
Case Study-Port Everglades, Ft. Lauderdale, FL
Port Everglades in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, saw a need to provide protection for both the Broward County Sheriffs who perform the inspections as well as the vehicles and customers who pass through their gates.
To date, we have constructed and installed four shelters at the port, ranging in size from 20' wide to 64' wide. The smaller shelter is used at the entrance to the Convention Center, which allows only cars. The largest shelter is used inside the port to provide protection for an x-ray machine that screens incoming cargo and the trucks handling the cargo. The main entrance gate has a 20' wide x 60' long shelter that was initially 20' wide x 20' long and was expanded by 40' as traffic increased.
