Exhaust Removal for Military Field Repair
Fume-A-Vent overhead exhaust removal systems protect military personnel working in temporary repair facilities.
Our rope-and-pulley simple drop systems are engineered for durability in demanding field environments. Built for harsh conditions, they store overhead when not in use and deploy quickly when needed.
With straightforward installation and low operating costs, they have become essential equipment for military vehicle maintenance operations worldwide.

Summary
Since 1975, Alaska Structures has designed high-performance fabric buildings and camp systems for military applications, including vehicle repair facilities, shelter systems, and field hospitals built to operate in extreme environments.
For this project, Alaska Structures built a series of service and repair tents to support military vehicle maintenance in desert conditions.
The Challenge
Alaska Structures needed to remove toxic diesel exhaust and carcinogenic contaminants from enclosed repair tents, where emissions quickly reach dangerous concentrations.
The Solution
Fume-A-Vent equipped Alaska Structures with heavy-duty rope-and-pulley simple drop systems, giving each repair and maintenance tent dual exhaust capture.
When vehicles like HMMWVs need service, technicians pull the hoses into position. When not in use, the systems retract overhead, keeping work areas clear and eliminating trip hazards in the confined tent.
Why it worked
- Dual capture: two drops in every tent
- Stores overhead: clear floors, no trip hazards
- Heavy-duty build: made for field deployment
- Simple install: suited to temporary structures
The Outcome
By capturing diesel exhaust at the source, the systems keep toxic fumes from building up, so military personnel can work safely in any deployment environment.
Safe Air Quality
Bases maintain safe air quality standards inside enclosed tents.
Captured at Source
Exhaust is removed before it reaches the breathing zone.
Clear Work Areas
Hoses retract overhead, keeping floors free of trip hazards.
Mission Readiness
Protects the health and readiness of service members.
