The HDT Buena Vista facility has provided state-of-the-art, expeditionary shelter systems for many years. Recently, the company announced that it plans to transition its manufacturing operations based in Buena Vista, Va., to a new facility adjacent to its current Huntsville, Ala., plant.
“Survival of the fittest” takes on new meaning for those sheltered in a structure designed and built by HDT Global.Īre you in the desert? The North Pole? Under constant threat of weather elements – or manmade attack? Have no fear – HDT Global has built the systems on which military personnel have come to rely for their very survival.īased in Ohio, HDT Global (HDT) is a leading provider of highly engineered, application- specific solutions for military, civilian, commercial and industrial customers.

Tough, flexible, and easily repaired, A&P braid helps make HDT Global's AirBeams® the perfect choice for the U.S. Instead, they fail gracefully, allowing for easy repair. If punctured by sharp objects or small firearms, the beams will not decompress explosively. All AirBeam® structure designs are tested to 300% of their working pressure. The AirBeam® frames also have large inflation margins, the amount by which the beam can be over-inflated without damage. When loads exceed the shelter design's load the beams deflect, but no permanent damage is incurred when the load is removed, the beams return to their original shape with full load capability. They are also extremely overload tolerant. HDT Global's AirBeams® frames are highly structural and damage tolerant with benign failure modes.
Multiple fiber angles are used to create a completely determinant structure giving the beam extremely high strength, high bending stiffness, and high inflation pressure. HDT Global's AirBeam® structures are based on new manufacturing technology that exploits the unique properties of braid by creating a layer of highly oriented fiber reinforcement that is, in effect, a flexible composite structure. AirBeam® structure used to frame Aircraft Maintenance Shelter is strong enough to hold this suspended S.U.V.
