UTILIS manufactures different series of shelters (TM, TL and TXL series) with multiple models of various sizes: from 18 sqm to 120 sqm (and more) that can be complexed to one another and to other types of shelters creating large work areas. All TM shelters are deployable within 5 minutes with a minimum number of personnel and no additional resources such as power or height aids.
The TM, TL and TXL shelters share the patented folding, extendable frame with fully adjustable feet. The PVC canvas is suspended inside the structure and its deployment follows a logical pattern that requires minimum training.
The small number of parts minimizes vulnerabilities and main-tenance requirements on the battlefield.

For this purpose UTILIS provides TL (7.2m wide x 4.2m long) and TXL (9m wide x 5.2 m long) series shelters that can be deployed in many configurations: as a large vehicle/helicopters maintenance enclosure, warehouse, command and control centre or as a field hospital ward. The TL and TXL shelters are composed of multiple bodies, the surface of each body is modular and adapted to clients’ dimensions, and can also be linked further to any of the TM series shelters.
MOBILE DECONTAMINATION AND NBC/COLPRO PROTECTION UNITS
Through design evolvement UTILIS shelters have been adapted to provide many decontamination solutions. Both in the military or civilian environment the TM series shelters are used as a rapid deploy decontamination solution. These have been tailored to meet user requirements. Mobile decontamination units permit decontamination of 30 to 50 people/hour for walking and/or non-walking casualties.
The decontamination process can be carried out inside a Colpro system using positive pressure with controlled entry through an airlock; using a negative pressure system or incorporating multi lane internal disposable decontamination bags without air flow systems.
Colpro tents can be set up as a command post, dormitory etc and can be linked to a decontamination unit.
