Project overview
Phase-1 humanitarian shelter package for ~300 people in East Africa, combining P2 folding and P1 quick-assembly accommodation with mobile sanitary groups and P3 command / clinic points.
The deployment target was two weeks from site access. WASH, command and the first shelter zone were prioritised before the remaining accommodation.

Building systems & materials
- —P2 folding units prioritised for first occupancy; P1 quick-assembly kits increased bulk bed and sanitary capacity.
- —P3 expandable units provided larger command and clinical floor areas after rapid deployment.
- —Adjustable supports used only after bearing-surface and temporary wind checks.
Site & phasing
Module IDs on the delivery list matched shelter zones so mixed batches could be directed without resorting.
| Wave | Priority content | Operational result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sanitary + command + first P2 shelter | Registration, WASH and first occupancy |
| 2 | Remaining P2/P1 shelter | Reach ~300-bed capacity |
| 3 | Clinic + stores + service completion | Complete Phase-1 operations |
Schedule
- —Days 1–3: access, bearing surface, drainage and zone marking by site team.
- —Days 3–7: command, sanitary and first P2 shelter deployed.
- —Days 7–14: remaining P2/P1 shelter, clinic and stores completed.
Constraints & approach
- —Incomplete infrastructure: WASH and minimum power interfaces were treated as first-order dependencies.
- —Mixed dispatch: priority components went first for early occupancy while bulk shelter followed in batch 2.
- —Temporary foundations: placement remained subject to bearing, drainage and wind checks.
- —Clinical scope: equipment and medical gases were provided by the response agency.
