Standard versus Custom Towers
Standard towers
Our standard towers were created as part of our quick ship program and developed as a fast track delivery system for buildings that incorporate and exceed current and proposed NFPA 1402 standards of training excellence in live fire training facilities. Based on years of assessment, we have incorporated the tactics of the most commonly encountered modern fire scenarios and integrated them into the training evolutions available on our standard building design packages.
Standard tower designs offer:
- The same rugged dual frame, fully galvanized fire training facility WHP offers with our custom designed products with a quicker turn-around and faster delivery time (approximately 6-8 weeks).
- An assortment of choices in the most popular color combinations.
- Even on our standard towers we can be your turn-key supplier/contractor from conception to installation. In addition, each building will be supplied with a complete set of detailed specifications and drawings that can be used by any architect, contractor or qualified steel building erector to install the building.
- Quick ship buildings can be customized and added on to with options and designs after the initial purchase and installation; so your building can grow with the community you serve.
Custom towers
From conception to completion, WHP consultants work directly with your department to assess and integrate the specific needs of your organization/community. Each live fire training tower will be designed and built to your exact specifications to address your specific required training evolutions.
- Live fire training facility is fully customizable up to 7 stories.
- Offers a variety of custom colors and façades including stone, brick and concrete designs.
