Construction Site Camp
Temporary modular camps for infrastructure and building projects — dormitories, canteen, offices and sanitary blocks for 50–500 workers.
Overview
Construction site camps provide temporary accommodation, dining, offices and support facilities for main civil works. Procurement is typically led by the main contractor or project department, with focus on move-in phasing, site safety and delivery sequencing.
Compared with mining or oil & gas camps, construction camps are shorter-cycle, lower HSE documentation load, and often relocate within the same region after project completion.

Site layout & camp planning
- —Separate living, office, logistics (kitchen/storage) and shared sanitary zones; kitchen downwind of dormitories.
- —Fire separation between dormitories and kitchen/generator per project Fire plan.
- —Central sanitary: dormitory walk ≤50 m; or unit-internal sanitary (more units).
- —Linked dorm rows: external escape stairs and fire lanes per signed drawings.
- —Reserve strip-end splice points and utility interfaces for expansion.
Technical & HSE requirements
| Topic | Typical approach |
|---|---|
| Wall core | EPS 50–75 mm general; rockwool 75 mm near kitchen/dorm interfaces when required |
| Electrical | 220 V / 50 Hz to module interface; buyer provides main supply |
| Sanitary discharge | Modules drain to buyer septic tank / treatment |
| Foundation | Strip footings, leveling — buyer responsibility; supplier provides anchor drawings |
Phasing & delivery
For Tier B–C camps, 2–3 delivery batches are typical: Batch 1 — office + sanitary + partial dorm; Batch 2 — main dorm strips; Batch 3 — canteen and storage.
| Scale (beds) | Production ref. after layout sign-off | Batches |
|---|---|---|
| 50–100 | 25–40 days | 1–2 |
| 100–300 | 35–55 days | 2–3 |
| 300–600 | 45–70 days | 3–4 |
Installation & handover
| Phase | Duration (ref.) | Responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation | 7–14 days | Buyer |
| First batch on site | — | Supplier |
| First install (office + sanitary + partial dorm) | 5–10 days | Buyer crew / supplier guidance |
| Full occupancy | 10–20 days after first batch | — |
