Deployable infrastructure

Marshall’s deployable infrastructure products are designed and built to support a broad range of military, humanitarian and civilian missions in even the most extreme operating environments.

We are proud to have partnered with industry leaders including Leonardo, Saab, Kongsberg and Thales to provide our products to armed forces representing the UK, the Netherlands, Canada, Denmark, Sweden, France, Australia, NATO and many others.

All our containers are designed for mobility: in addition to being transportable by air, sea, road and rail, they can be stacked in accordance with ISO 1496 specifications for ease of storage and movement, and are rapidly deployable once on site.

Built from Marshall’s highly standardised design principles, our containers offer a wide range of size and equipment choices during initial configuration, while their modular design supports rapid reconfiguration and greatly reduces the complexity of maintenance and repairs in the field.

All our containers are CSC certified, comply with standards in the most highly regulated markets, and have a baseline 20-year service life that can be extended through our overhaul programmes.

Core capabilities shared across our deployable infrastructure range include:

Environmental control
Every Marshall container can be fitted with a range of environmental control systems, making it possible to maintain the internal workspace environment of the container at precise levels of temperature and humidity.
- Baseline containers fully operational in NATO climate conditions A1 (49C) through C1 (-32C)
- Supported range of climate conditions can be optionally extended to -51C to +55C
- Optional CBRN filtration
- Resistant to salt corrosion and driving rain
- Able to withstand gusts of 180kph while in storage and 108kph while operating
- Capable of handling snow load of up to 370kg/m² (75lb/ft²) on roof
- Fully operational in sand abrasion environments
Power input and distribution
Depending on operational requirements, our range of containers can be supplied with the latest energy and power solutions technologies. Our engineers fully review all selected options for resilience and power adequacy.

We also provide consultancy in assessing and strategically reducing the energy consumption of containers, and can offer the latest SMART developments and technologies for power management, including:
- Mains, solar and hybrid power generation and supply
- Microgrids coupled with a range of generators for networked power distribution
- Advanced energy storage technology

Modular wall-mount system (MWS)

MWS is a means of fitting equipment to container floors, walls, and ceilings.

The system provides the user with complete flexibility to change installed equipment type and configuration throughout the life of the unit.
Door and escape hatch

Our container doors and escape hatches are manufactured to exactly the same insulated sandwich panel specification as our walls, roofs and floors. Door and hatch design is a proven standard that incorporates weather seals, EMI screening gaskets (if required), and internal lock releases which allow exit from the unit when a padlock is fitted on the exterior.

The DNA laboratory can be a standalone system or can be connected to other laboratories.
Medical storage

Medical storage containers provide a safe, controlled and protected environment for the safe storage and transportation of pharmaceuticals and personnel.
Advanced containerised CT scanner (ACCTS)

Since 2009, Marshall and Philips Healthcare have worked together under an exclusive collaborative agreement to design and manufacture world-leading field deployable CT scanning systems for use in humanitarian and defence environments around the world.

Our patented containerised CT scanners have been exceptionally well-received within a variety of NATO countries for their ability to enable deployed surgeons to quickly and accurately diagnose trauma in severely injured patients.

Several product development cycles and millions of pounds in investment have led to the current Advanced Containerised CT Scanner (ACCTS). Housed inside Marshall’s award-winning 20ft upgraded ISO expanding container, ACCTS offers the latest Philips Incisive CT 128 technology, enabling full body scanning with the world’s most advanced imaging capabilities in the field – and doing so more affordably and efficiently than ever.

Combining mobility, flexibility and modularity, ACCTS has been designed to provide a ruggedised solution with patented shock and vibration mounting to withstand all modes of transportation (including by air). Once on site, the container can be deployed in just 8 hours.

The design is compliant with health care design and ergonomic standards for ease of operation and optimum patient throughput, with the addition of approved radiological screening to protect patient and personnel.

UAS/C-UAS Operations

Marshall produces a range of containerised solutions that both house and store uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) and offer secure communication infrastructure and data links, enabling faster threat identification and more decisive action in the battlespace. This includes ground control stations, repair workshops, transport and various storage options.
Battlespace-deployable uncrewed aerial system (BDUAS)

BDAUS is a turnkey solution that packs multiple capabilities in only one 20ft expandable shelter, including rotary uncrewed aircraft transport and storage, a heavy duty maintenance and repair workshop, and a remote piloting station for two operators.

The multi-purpose container provides a large, versatile and environmentally controlled workspace for users, while also supporting rapid deployment and transport via road, sea, rail and air.

Through-life support

Our aim is to provide the highest possible availability of equipment and flexibility of resource through long-term relationships with our customers, combining comprehensive support and expertise.

Our through-life support capabilities include post-design services, integrated logistics support, whole fleet management, training, repair, maintenance and overhaul, reconfiguration, refurbishment, sustainment, mid-life upgrades, spares and obsolescence.

As a result of working with stakeholders as early as possible within the program lifecycle, we identify exactly which elements within a support solutions envelope are most appropriate to our customers’ requirements.

Our experience with our own complex solutions is transferable to externally produced equipment. We understand the design, build and structure of equipment, and through a process of stripping down, refurbishment, rewiring and redesign we are able to re-role, regenerate and refurbish ageing assets to a new standard.
