Quick set permanent shelter?

Very interesting technology. The applications for it, if the price is right, are endless. Emergency disaster relief, third world country development, TEOTWAWKI, homeless shelters, military bunkers (can it withstand a bullet impact and not be punctured?).
The biggest question I have is how do they dismember it? Is it so permanent that it requires a bulldozer to break it up, or concrete saws to break into more manageable pieces? As in, sure, bring in 100's in Katrina type situations, can pop them up in less than a day to provide emergency shelter to people. But what happens a few weeks to months to years later? Surely you wouldn't leave them standing indefinitely, right?

At 13mm thick, I doubt these will be stopping bullets. It may offer some level of protection, but it's far from bullet proof. I wonder what kind of load the structure can support. I see one of there pictures has one covered in tires and several feet of dirt... That's a lot of weight.

Removal is a good question. It is fiber reinforced cement, so it will likely need to be cut apart. Maybe a trackhoe or dozer could crush it.
Typically the shelters are needed NOW for getting them set up. Once the situation (war, disaster, whatever) is passed, a construction contract for removal can be implemented. Tthe removal urgency is much different.
Hell, leave the up and provide shelter for the homeless!
