Prefab Camps for Mining and Resources Projects
Mines are developed where the ore is, not where the housing is. We build the village that makes the site workable — and we have done it at 500+ module scale on bauxite developments in Guinea.
What Makes This Difficult
No housing within reach of the lease
Greenfield mining sites have no rental stock. If the camp is not imported, the workforce commutes — and the commute becomes a permanent cost and a permanent safety exposure.
Long inland hauls on unsealed roads
Ore bodies sit at the end of haul roads. Finished volumetric modules with glazing and fittings do not enjoy that journey; flat panel stacks do.
Headcount that moves with the phase
Construction peak, commissioning and steady-state operation need different bed counts. A camp that cannot be extended or reduced is a camp that is wrong most of the time.
Pads that cost money to extend
Earthworks on a remote site are expensive. Stacking two storeys is usually cheaper than clearing more ground.
What Buyers in This Sector Need
A whole village, not a product
Dormitories, canteen, offices, ablutions and recreation — on one grid, from one supplier, with one erection sequence.
Freight planned to the container
At several hundred modules, cost per bed is decided by how well the containers are packed.
Engineering for the site's loads
Wind, seismic and stacking loads calculated for the actual location, with stamped reports.
Documentation a local crew can build from
Marked members, erection drawings and a bolt schedule, plus engineers who stay reachable.

View productWhere These Buildings Go
Construction-phase camps
Accommodation for the peak workforce building the mine, sized to be reduced when the project moves to operations.
Operations villages
Permanent accommodation for the operating crew, built to a standard people can live with for years.
Exploration and early works
Small camps that grow into the main village as the project is confirmed.
Contractor compounds
Separate offices and accommodation for contractors working on the lease.
How a Project Runs
Brief
Headcount, phasing, pad size, port and the loading data for the site.
Camp layout
Buildings, circulation and services drawn on one grid and approved.
Engineering
Structural drawings and load calculations, including the stacking case.
Fabrication
Frames cut, welded and galvanised; interiors and services fitted and tested.
Sequenced shipping
Containers numbered and planned so the site erects continuously.
Erection
Modules opened, combined, stacked and connected, with supervision available.
What We Have Actually Delivered
500+ modules in one camp
The Simandou workforce camp for WCS — dormitories, canteens, offices and ablution blocks stacked two storeys high.
180-module camp
A COBAD – RUSAL bauxite mine camp with finished interiors and corridors ready on arrival.
Photo reports before sealing
Three-stage quality control with photographs issued before every container is closed.
Loading plans that maximise units per box
Container-by-container packing that keeps freight per bed down at scale.

The questions this sector asks before committing.
How large a mining camp can you deliver?
The largest camp we have delivered is over 500 modules for the Simandou bauxite and iron-ore development in Guinea — dormitories, canteens, offices and ablution blocks stacked two storeys high.
Can the camp be extended later?
Yes. Modules bolt together, so rows can be extended, re-arranged or relocated as the project phase changes.
How are modules protected on a long haul road?
Detachable modules ship as flat panel stacks rather than finished boxes, which survive unsealed inland haulage far better.
Do you supply engineering for the stacking?
Yes. Two and three-storey stacking is engineered to the wind and seismic loads you specify, with load-test reports supplied per order.
Can you supervise the installation?
Every order ships with assembly drawings and a bolt and panel schedule, and supervised on-site installation is available for projects.
