A smart alternative
to traditional buildings
Military shelters designed for operational constraints
The French armed forces and NATO allied armies require robust storage and maintenance solutions that can be rapidly deployed and are compatible with the constraints of deployment operations. Our SHELTERALL®, NATO-referenced under code FB5Q8 shelters meet these requirements thanks to a modular galvanised steel structure and a coated polyester fabric cover, guaranteed for 10 years against UV and weather. Available as single-arch (8 to 15 m span) or lattice-beam (16 to 25 m) versions, they are equally suited to storing armoured vehicles, light aeronautical maintenance, conditioned ammunition storage and the deployment of temporary living bases.
Manufactured in France by RICHEL group, our buildings are built on 60 years of industrial expertise and a sovereign production chain: steel, profiles, fabrics and fittings are made at our historic site. This complete control guarantees component traceability, controlled lead times (delivery and assembly within 8 to 12 weeks) and responsive after-sales service across the entire national territory as well as on overseas operations.
Each project is engineered to Eurocodes EN 1993-1-1 standards, validated by our in-house design office and certified by independent bodies (Socotec, ISO 9001, Bureau Veritas). This dual requirement of industrial sovereignty and regulatory compliance makes SHELTERALL® the choice of operational units of the Army, the Air Force, the Navy, the National Gendarmerie and many other partners in the Defence sector.
Many options
A single point of contact & certified quality
A single specialised contact exclusively dedicated to Defence projects to guarantee you full control of your certified projects
What we will do for you
Your Defence projects involve technical, regulatory and operational specificities that only an integrated industrial partner can handle from end to end. Designed, manufactured and assembled in France at our RICHEL group site, our SHELTERALL® modular shelters and buildings meet the requirements of NATO member armies (reference FB5Q8) and cover all your needs: operational storage, maintenance of ground vehicles and aircraft, deployment of living bases or securing of sensitive sites.
Our in-house design office sizes each structure according to Eurocodes EN 1993-1-1 (wind, snow and seismic loads) and integrates all site constraints: industrial anchoring, military transport, implementation lead times, door dimensions for armoured vehicles or helicopters, and insulation, ventilation, lighting and photovoltaic options. A single specialised Defence contact manages your file, from the on-site audit to handover, with traceability, industrial sovereignty and operational responsiveness.
We guarantee you the following project phases:
- Analysis of your operational need to propose the optimal solution
- Production of architectural plans and calculations by our in-house design office
- On-site intervention for a feasibility study
- Coordination of the delivery and assembly of your SHELTERALL®
- Long-term support (maintenance, redeployment, extensions, after-sales service…)
Concrete blocks usable alone or as a foundation for SHELTERALL®
A RICHEL group brand, TOUTABLOC® is a cost-effective and sovereign solution for securing military and industrial sites, either as a foundation for SHELTERALL® or as a standalone anti-intrusion solution. Manufactured in France from reinforced concrete compliant with current standards, these modular blocks deploy without heavy machinery, without on-site pouring and without curing time, allowing rapid implementation including in operational zones or on temporary sites.
