The housing options for today’s industrial workforce are changing, drastically changing for the better. No longer is a makeshift structure built, unsafe, cold and without consideration for waste. Modern day industrial job sites require faster installation, increased sustainability and a more cost-effective build that doesn’t contribute to landfill at end of use.
Eco-Friendly Sandwich Panel and Insulation Materials
Pre-engineered electrical installation and simple plug and play installation alongside sustainable building materials all play a significant role in providing a positive alternative to traditional building.
It’s often the walls and roof that play the biggest role in any building and today there is an alternative to energy-draining building materials. High-quality insulated sandwich panels are being used. These consist of sandwiching two, normally thin but strong materials together with an insulating inner core. The best alternative insulation choices include: Rockwool, expanded polystyrene (EPS), and polyurethane (PU). Choosing to use any one of these options will bring an immediate difference as far as insulation and also fire resistance for example (Rockwool), although for cost and weight considerations any of the options can provide the alternative. The impact on building design and total cost of ownership by utilizing these materials is immense as combined with energy-saving double-glazed window installations it will drastically reduce the energy required to maintain a constant temperature inside and thereby dramatically reduce heating/cooling energy consumption. A sustainable and energy efficient building is inherently economical too.
Pre-Engineered Electrical Wiring and Plug-and-Play Setup
In the remoteness of a work location, speed of build, simplicity and safety are a major consideration. The old way of manually running electrical conduit wire, switch and socket on site requires skills and time that are lost on remote sites. With prefab or prefabricated camps or buildings you simply carry over one section of prefabricated building with plug socket, light and switch, etc. It is all done prior and then simply plugged into your portable power supply. This portable power could be the standard diesel generator or any renewable power solution like solar arrays. This can remove weeks of lost build time down to hours or days and is incredibly safe as there is no loose wire running throughout the camp until you plug it in. It’s this ease of install “plug and play” system that contributes so well. You will find this same philosophy applied to not only electric but also air conditioning units and water plumbing installations too.
Disassembly and Relocation for Multi-Site Project Reuse
Perhaps, one of the biggest selling points to purchasing a prefab camp facility is that if for example a project is moving from a remote location for new and another one is upcoming in another new location, your whole encampment could simply be unplugged, unbolted, laid flat and moved to a new location, new project, then re-installed, or even reconfigured. There will be huge initial capital expense in the initial purchase of the building product, but on a number of different projects you will recover the entire cost plus you have eliminated any construction waste. This allows for a reuse of structure and reduces the environmental footprint. You don’t get to do this with concrete houses! The perfect answer for companies that are moving sites constantly.
To sum up, the rise of modern prefabricated construction camp building has made it simple to efficiently, reliably and sustainability install industrial standard worker living environments. Eco-friendly insulation used alongside speedy plug and play wiring, installation and maintenance significantly reduce construction time and costs. Add into the mix the sustainability benefits associated with a moveable structure for multiple projects and you simply cannot get anything better for housing your workforce for industrial sites or camp scenarios anywhere around the globe.
