Construction Camp

Construction Camp
Algeria

Challenge:
To create temporary housing for more than 1000 people at four different sites of the In Salah Gas Project located in the remote Algerian desert, some 1,200 kilometres south of the capital city of Algiers.

Solution:
ATCO Europe was awarded the multi-million dollar contract to manufacture camps at Krechba, Tegentour, Reg and Hassi R'Mel, which would accommodate construction and military personnel.

ATCO's Diboll, Texas plant built all of the office units (a total of 160 modules) while the remaining 250 sleeper, kitchen/diner, recreation and first aid rooms were produced at the company's Budapest factory. The majority of the modules were produced in the company's innovative knock-down format, which allows units to be flat packed for easier shipping and re-assembly on site. Units housing appliances and equipment were shipped already fully erected. All units were transported by sea from Budapest and Texas. ATCO also supplied considerable civil, mechanical and electrical site services for all camps.

This turnkey project, which encompassed total design and engineering, manufacture of all buildings, transportation, site services, and construction consultation at site, was completed in just four months.
