This structure was one of the more unique projects that SCI has undertaken since opening our doors.  The project was developed in response to the need for a facilities where first responders could train on rescue strategies in a collapsed structure.  Built out of shipping containers, the structure can be completely disassembled and relocated to another site.  The facility is accessed through a variety of tunnels, which require a rescue team to first breach through a concrete slab in order to gain entrance.  Inside they will find confined spaces, trapped vehicles, and a four story elevator shaft.  The area around the structure is riddled with vehicles and rubble, making the entire site a training area.
