Military Bases in remote areas are made of modular structures

Military Bases in remote areas are made of modular structures. Military and privatized often use modular kiosks in creating bases in remote areas due to the quickness of their development.

With Military forces, occupation in remote or even new areas is not something that can be done over long periods, whether it is peacekeeping in an area being attacked by terrorists or strategic infiltration, mobilization of military forces is often quick and can be done in a span of days.

As a result, military forces often use mobile kiosks, tents,, and other modular structures to set up their bases. This allows them to set up occupancy in a short frame in remote or new areas and start quickly assessing any attacks.

Here are a few instances and how these bases have given strategic advantages.:

  • Russia's Arctic Special Forces Base

Russia’s western Arctic houses its most advanced defensive capabilities as well as potential offensive capabilities. Remote locations like Alexandra Land are equipped with air, sea, and land capabilities that reinforce Russia’s multilayered maritime and air denial power. The focus of these defenses is to safeguard Russia’s nuclear arsenal and second-strike capabilities commanded by the powerful Northern Fleet.

This Security kiosk was built in 5 days

This Security Kiosk was built in 5 days by Redcity for a security company based in Lagos Nigeria in January 2023. It was delivered to a brand new estate and was able to serve as a post for its security intel while the estate continued development.

Using this base, the private security was able to complete their jobs diligently. They could track the comings and goings in the estate and ensure the safety of residents.

One of the reasons why many companies choose to build modular security kiosks over brick and mortar is for the quickness of their delivery.

Residents and property developers are able to ensure the safety of their sites while construction is going on as a way to minimize theft and ensure the property is guarded.

Typical construction can take a minimum of 3 months to years which allows room for site theft as owners of the property have no way to ensure the site is safe at night and at other times when traffic is low.

Handy men and laborers also take so sleeping on the sites causing more harm than good and slowing down projects much further.

Redcity is able to custom-build security kiosks with surveillance tech like CCTV, barricades, and other security measures in 5 - 7 days and deliver to any sites in Africa and globally.

These custom builds are built for as low as $800 (NGN800,000) and with the use of Military and private security you can ensure a swift security base for your team.

Get a quick consultation here and start now.

How to make furnishing out of oil drums

How to make furnishing out of oil drums. This is a step-by-step guide to making your own DIY sustainable furnishing. One of our excellent design examples of reducing waste and reusing items is our two-seater bar table and chairs made from oil drums. 

Firstly,  you'll need: 

  • 2inch screw drills 
  • At least 2ftsquare HDF or MDF wood
  • A used oil barrel (Ensure it was not used to transfer flammable material and if it was, chemically wash it out as thoroughly as possible. You can review how to do a chemical wash here.)

Here is how you can make one yourself. 

  • Next to note, before you start, ensure you wear protective gear on your hands and eyes. This protective gear will keep the metal edges from hurting you or getting into your eyes. Learn about protective covering below. 
  1. Create a stencil of the chairs and using measurement of a curved angle attach both stencils to the oil drum. You can download our stencil here for free. 
  2. Once you have attached the shape, using a laser cutter or electrical jacksaw, cut the shapes out and set them aside. 
  3. Dull the edges with a dulling stone
  4. Using a 3/4 inch square pipe, create the legs of the chair and support for the table, ensuring that you brace both items on both sides so the structure can be stable. 
  5. Trace the shape of the table top onto an MDF or HDF wood for the table top and mark holes on the top and the metal to drill through.
  6. Drill through the wood and match this to the tabletop to drill through the top 
  7. Using 2inch screws attach this wood top to the metal and finish the edges with glue and vinyl wood tape.
  8. Once this is done, paint the furnishing with red oxide and finish the coloring till finished. 
  9. Using car rubber tape and glue, cover up the dulled edges to prevent any future injury. 
  10. You can now make a cushion to cover the seating. 

Voila! Your seating is ready. 

If you would like to receive a quotation for this seating for less than $80 (NGN80,000), kindly request a quotation here. View our other sustainable custom designs here
