5 Reasons to Choose Modified Containers for Temporary Workforce Housing

Tuesday, July 12, 2016

Are you looking for the ideal solution for remote workforce housing challenges or temporary on-site housing? Shipping container modifications might be the answer to your problem. Irrespective of the term you use, workforce housing, temporary housing, emergency housing, man camps, they are essential to maximise a well-oiled system.


As opposed to traditional workforce accommodation, modified shipping containers are cost-effective including many other benefits, as follows:

  • 1. Ideal for almost any workforce living space application.

At Sea Containers NZ, we collaborate with a committed team who specialise in customising and modifying containers. Our combined expertise enables us to offer an infinite range of shipping container solutions to modifications. Container accommodation is suitable for:

  • Construction site accommodation
  • Work camps and oilfields
  • Disaster relief shelter, medical quarters and emergency management housing.
  • Border patrol housing
  • Military training facilities and housing
  • Practically any remote living situation

The possibilities are endless. Container modification is not restricted to bedroom facilities but can also provide full work camp solutions including:

  • Dining /cafeteria complex
  • Administration offices
  • Recreation facilities
  • Room with Lockers
  • Laundry facilities
  • Medical complex
  • Temporary holding facilities
  • 2.Strong and requires minimal maintenance

Shipping containers constructed of robust corten steel, are built to last. The consensus is that the lifespan of a new shipping container is approximately 25 years. It will most likely last longer than the traditional modular units.

They are durable and maintained without much effort. You can design the interior and have all the modern features and quality fixtures in the interior of workforce housing.

  • 3.Stackable and Portable

Shipping containers were designed to transport cargo efficiently by truck, train, plane or ship. Containers are practical in remote areas as they are easily transportable.

Being stackable shipping containers are intrinsically more advantageous than traditional modular buildings. When space is limited, there’s no reason why your work camp can’t be two or more stories high, to accommodate a large workforce.

  • 4.Flexibility in modification

Do you need a shipping container tailored to your specific needs? Containers can be completely modified and designed for the comfort and convenience of your workforce. Here is a list of facilities your accommodation comes furnished with.

  • Wiring for telecommunications
  • Electricity and Lighting
  • Temperature control ( air-conditioning and heating)
  • Insulation of ceilings and walls
  • Secure and heavy-duty personnel doors and windows
  • 5.Easy and Quick to Install

You can have the shipping container buildings fabricated off site and save you the agony of getting in a large workforce to do the installation and the risk it carries in the case of a military operation. Once the container housing units arrive on site, installation is a walk in the park. A foundation is not necessary, all you need is a flat surface and some preparation for the installation. The plumbing and electricity are easily connected and ready for immediate use.
