Camps
Dormitories, sanitary blocks, kitchens and dining halls that reach a remote site as a kit and are in use within weeks.
A camp works when the support buildings work. We supply the dormitory blocks together with the toilet and shower units, the kitchen and dining hall, the laundry, the clinic, the offices and the recreation building — designed as one grid so that they line up on site.
Panel buildings give more square metres for the money and suit a camp that stays for years. Containers on a steel chassis suit a camp that moves with the work; they can be lifted onto a truck and used again on the next site.
Insulation thickness, air conditioning, double glazing and shading are chosen for the site, not for a catalogue. Desert camps, high altitude sites and equatorial humidity all need a different wall build-up, and the offer states which one is quoted.
Tell us the headcount, the shift pattern and how long the camp must stand. We come back with a block layout, the number of sanitary fixtures per person, and the sea freight volume.

A typical building list for a 400-person container camp, the freight volume, and A2-s1,d0 rock wool walls.
Camps financed by international lenders follow the IFC/EBRD guidance on workers' accommodation, and many companies use it as their own standard. We size dormitories and ablution blocks with it unless your specification is stricter.
