CASE STUDY – AIR DELIVERY TRAINING TOWER FOR THE IRISH AIR CORPS. The Irish Air Corps required a BeaverFit Air Delivery Training Tower (ADP) to replicate multiple, real-life obstacles with the aim of facilitating a range of demonstrable exercises, enhancing the end users’ physical capabilities. The primary purpose of this project was to simulate a AW139 fuselage to replicate search and rescue for rear crew hoist training. Enabling repetitive training to better develop the teams concentration skills and intuitive understanding, expressing the need for the aircraft use. This facility includes; Air Delivery Platform (ADP), for fast roping, repelling and simulated AW139, abseiling for the use of the Urban Training Tower at approximately 40ft high, after action review and control room demonstrable through the digital cameras positioned throughout the facility. The Training Tower at the Irish Air Corps has enabled the client to be able to utilise their time more efficiently, save money on aviation fuel and offer consistent conditions and training for all of their users – offering further advances in both mental and physical development. All of our BeaverFit solutions and facilities can be customised according to your requirements.

How Farm Fitness repurposed their unused space to expand their hybrid-fitness set-up with BeaverFit and Eleiko
With the increasing popularity of multi-functional fitness set-ups, Farm Fitness sought out BeaverFit to help expand their footprint and utilise their otherwise unused space.
What are the environmental benefits of modular infrastructure over conventional construction techniques?
According to research conducted by University of Cambridge and Edinburgh Napier University academics, modular construction emits 45% less carbon than traditional methods because units are completed off-site in a controlled assembly line environment and taken to site in one delivery. It means that modular buildings require fewer carbon-intensive products like concrete and steel, and less transport for on-site workers and material deliveries. BeaverFit, industry leaders in the design and manufacture of modular outdoor fitness facilities, pledged to ensure that up to 96% of their modular builds are made entirely of recycled materials and renewable energy. Starting with the fully self-sufficient Strength and Conditioning Shelter at Bulford Barracks military base, this was a step into the future for the Field Army. BeaverFit partnered with ZeroAlpha Solutions to offer solar panels for the shelter, making this solution the first ever fully-sustainable fitness facility owned by the Armed Forces. “This is a genuine modern facility, built to provide the troops with what they need to ensure their physical health and wellbeing, both in terms of what we do in the barracks and around the world. This is a real opportunity and a great asset to the British Army.” – Major General Neil Thorpe The outdoor fitness set-up for the University of Edinburgh is highly sustainable in their use of custom-branded ISO containers. The University has maximised their offering to their students by utilising their otherwise unused space. Installed on the 100m sprint track between Peffermill’s two international water-based hockey pitches, the Peffermill Outdoor Gym offers multiple functional fitness stations and an array of premium equipment. “Our exciting new Outdoor Gym provision at Peffermill serves as a beacon for innovation in sports conditioning, but also what can be achieved through the power of partnership. University of Sport and Exercise is thrilled to join forces with market leaders PLAE and Beaverfit in making this hugely exciting gym venture come alive – our Peffermill users will love it.” – Jim Aitken MBE, Director of Sport + Exercise, University of Edinburgh BeaverFit has a subsidiary firm called BeaverFit Special Operations Equipment that provides law enforcement and the MOD with modular, containerised, and deployable tactical training facilities. Offering a range of ISO and Modular Armouries from low-security storage to Government MFES approved and blast resistant. These portable solutions offer the highest level of protection in an easily relocatable and deployable system. Manufactured out of an ISO shipping container, our easily relocatable storage container solutions limit the construction costs and reduce the need for anchors or groundwork due to their semi-permanent location. As a part of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy, BeaverFit creates modular infrastructures that can be relocated, repurposed and reused multiple times, enabling us to supply some of the most ecological facilities that support climate control and lower our environmental impact. Our modular solutions are more environmentally friendly than conventional construction techniques due to the limited construction costs and the ability to reduce the need for anchors or groundworks, this means that less off-site work is needed, reducing travel and air pollution.
