Strategic Infrastructure Solutions for Operational Defence Capability

"Defence operations demand infrastructure that is as resilient and mobile as the personnel it supports. The Humanihut Field Infrastructure System is specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of military deployments".
Colonel Neale Sutton (Rtd)

The climate controlled HFIS is eight times more logistically efficient than other temporary buildings and delivers measurable improvement over tents. A short-term, high density HFIS Barracks, housing up to 224 personnel, can be established in approximately 1 day.
With military and commercial land, air, rail, or sea capability, the HFIS can be deployed directly to site and its simple “click and connect” system means no on-site construction is required. With a 20+ year lifespan, the HFIS is easily redeployed as many times as necessary, offering a scalable and flexible infrastructure solution which aligns with defence operational requirements.
Additionally, Humanihut offers complete turnkey facilities management solutions that can be customised to support defence activities and domestic and offshore humanitarian aid and disaster relief (HADR).
