When it comes to fire training towers, you have two material choices – concrete or metal. Because of the extreme conditions these towers are forced to endure, the material you choose will play the largest part in the lifespan of the structure. At WHP TrainingtowersTM, we build our towers to last. Here are some of the advantages you get when you choose metal fire training towers designed and built by us.
Metal Stands Up to Heat & Cool Cycles
Metal proves far superior to concrete when it comes to withstanding the punishment of repeated heat-cool cycles that come with fire training. Metal expands and contracts at a given rate up and down the entire length. The reinforced steel and cement in concrete buildings each expand and contract at different rates throughout the heat-cool cycle. Over the years, this constant stress can result in structural damage, making the building unsafe for use. Our fire training towers last for decades.
Metal Fire Training Towers Are More Affordable
Aside from being structurally superior to concrete, steel fire training towers are more affordable. A metal WHP building typically costs 40-60% less than a concrete or block building. That’s great news for fire departments because what fire departments and districts save by using steel can allow them to have a larger building with more training options for their firefighters.
A Variety of Fire Training Towers to Choose From
At WHP TrainingtowersTM, not only are our steel fire training towers stronger and more affordable than towers made from concrete, we also offer a variety of options to choose from. We offer quick-ship, custom, & MODx fire training towers:
Quick-Ship (Standard) Training Towers
The same rugged dual frame, fully galvanized fire training facility with a quicker turnaround and faster delivery time (approximately 8-10 weeks).
Custom Training Towers
Custom designed layout specific to your organization’s training requirements. (Delivery time approximately 12-14 weeks).
MODx Training Towers
Our fully galvanized structural steel frame allows for open floor plans without any interior structural walls. The walls are independent of the unit which allows all walls, doors, and windows to be easily moved, removed, or reconfigured allowing for a wider variety of training exercises within the system.
All of these types of metal fire training towers can be easily customized and added on to after the initial purchase and installation. That means your building can grow with the community you serve.
