The Solution: Phase Installation and Movable Walls for the Emergency Response Training Facility
The department purchased and installed the facility in phases to spread out costs. They started with a training structure made from five 40-foot shipping containers. Falcon Structures used three containers to create a two-story structure with an open air balcony and stairs that could imitate a residence. Attached to the lower level, two parallel containers created a corridor with multiple doors that could represent a hallway in an office, apartment complex, or hotel. Installation took less than a week.
Satisfied with the first phase’s performance, the department installed three additional containers that extended and capped the hallway. The sheriff’s department is planning to extend the facility again in near future.
Falcon’s modifications created a sense of realism through versatility while maintaining the inherent durability of shipping containers. The training structure will hold up for many years to come, even as trainees kick down doors and hose down fire simulations.
