Camps and Buildings for Energy and Hydropower Projects
Energy projects are built in valleys, deserts and coastlines — places chosen by the resource, not by the availability of housing. We build the accommodation that makes a multi-year construction programme liveable.
What Makes This Difficult
Sites chosen by geography
A dam goes where the river is. Housing has to be brought to it.
Multi-year occupation
People live in an energy construction camp for years. A standard that is acceptable for a month is not acceptable for a programme.
Limited level ground
Valley and coastal sites rarely offer a large flat pad, so the camp has to build upwards.
Services that must come with the buildings
Lighting and sanitary facilities cannot be a later addition on a site that has no local trades.
What Buyers in This Sector Need
Two-storey stacking
External steel staircases to fit the required bed count onto limited level ground.
Finished interiors and services
Units that arrive with lighting and sanitary facilities installed and tested.
A camp that works as a settlement
Dormitories, canteen and offices arranged around circulation rather than in an anonymous line.
Long sea-leg packing
Loading plans that protect finished interiors across a long voyage.

Energy and Hydropower FAQ
The questions this sector asks before committing.
What size energy project camps have you delivered?
Over 120 modules for a hydropower station camp in El Salvador for TYAZHMASH — dormitories, canteen and offices stacked two storeys high with external steel staircases.
Can the camp fit on a narrow valley site?
Stacking two storeys is the usual answer to limited level ground, and it was exactly the approach taken on the El Salvador hydropower camp.
Are lighting and sanitary facilities included?
Yes. Units are fitted out with finished interiors, lighting and sanitary facilities before they ship.
How long can the camp stay in service?
These are engineered steel buildings, not temporary shelters. Camps on multi-year energy programmes are a normal application.
Can the camp be relocated to the next project?
Yes. Modules bolt together, so a camp can be dismantled and moved rather than written off.
