Fully outfitted mobile laboratory shelters with equipment racks, workstations, camouflage exterior and full climate control — purpose-built for on-site scientific and diagnostic operations wherever the mission takes them.
Programme scale
Multi-unit programme
Timeline
10 – 14 weeks per unit
Active since
2021 – 2024
The challenge
What made this hard.
- Deliver lab-grade cleanliness and stability in a mobile envelope.
- House sensitive instruments through road transport shock loads.
- Meet PAEC engineering drawings with zero deviation.
- Interior configurable per instrument suite without retooling.
The solution
How PES built it.
- Reinforced sheet-metal chassis with instrument-grade vibration mounts.
- Modular internal panels, laser-cut to a parametric drawing library.
- Twin-zone HVAC with dust filtration and temperature stability ±2°C.
- Full DFM and reverse-engineering support against legacy drawings.
