camp accommodation / labor Accommodation / Workers Accommodation Camps / mining camp accommodation / Construction Site Labor Camp
In many remote projects, especially in the mining, construction, and oil and gas sectors, labor accommodation camp is very important. Workers are far away from home and work long periods in remote areas. Suitable accommodation is crucial for ensuring workers’ safety, health, and productivity. Although traditional tents and simple buildings can meet basic needs, they are not durable, comfortable, and sustainable enough. And they can not cope with extreme weather and high-intensity work. Prefabricated and modular buildings （container houses） are gradually becoming the preferred choice. These modular structures are quick to build, safer, more comfortable, and have low maintenance costs.
Labor camp accommodation must meet the basic living needs of workers. At the same time, ensures safety and comfort in harsh environments. Container labor accommodation camps are designed for industries that rely on temporary labor. They provide flexible modular houses and multi-functional areas to ensure the quality of life of workers and ensure the smooth progress of projects.

Labor camp accommodation refers to the housing facilities provided for workers at remote or temporary work sites. It is commonly seen in large-scale construction, mining, and oil and gas development projects. These camps serve as the main residence for workers, providing them with shelter and basic living facilities when they work far away from home.
Prefab labor camp is usually designed to be modular and mobile. They are easy to deploy quickly to remote areas where traditional housing is difficult to obtain or not applicable.

They are widely used in many industries, especially for projects in remote or harsh environments. Here are some common application areas:
1、Construction camps: For construction projects, labor camps are key to ensuring that workers can work long-term and stably. Container camps offer convenient and expandable accommodation solutions. They can be flexibly adjusted according to the project schedule to ensure workers’ living conditions at the project site remain unaffected.
2、Mining camps: In mining, workers often work in remote and tough areas. The choice of prefab labor camps needs to consider the environmental conditions of the location. Camps built with container houses can withstand bad weather and provide safe living conditions for workers.

Before designing a container labor camp accommodation solution, it is important to understand our standard accommodation unit design layout. These designs are based on the basic planning of a 6-meter container house. Each standard container house can accommodate 2 to 8 people. According to your needs, you can choose a standard unit that suits the number of people (for example, the number of people required for management accommodation units and employee accommodation units is usually different), and arrange or stack them as needed to design a container camp accommodation solution that meets the project requirements.
Our design team will help you adjust the layout according to your specific needs to ensure the functionality, comfort and efficiency of the camp. By combining different units, we can provide a flexible design for your project to meet the accommodation needs of employees of different sizes.

labor camp accommodation layout for 50 persons
The camp is designed to accommodate 50 employees. This design is usually suitable for smaller work teams and short-term or small projects, such as temporary construction projects and small exploration projects. Because it is a small project, the functional areas of the labor camp do not need to be too complicated. They only need to ensure labor workers’ basic living needs and on-site commanders’ operational needs.
The core accommodation unit of the 50-person camp consists of 6-meter container houses. Each container house can accommodate 2 to 8 people, and the specific number will be flexibly adjusted according to project needs. In the workers’ dormitory building, public sanitary modules can be equipped, including toilets, showers, and laundry rooms. Such dormitory design can maximize cost-effectiveness.
To ensure the needs of workers, the camp also needs to set up a canteen area to provide workers with buffets. In addition, public sanitary facilities separated by men and women need to be considered. The design of the sanitary area needs to consider privacy and cleanliness to ensure that the daily life of workers is met.
This design method shortens the construction period and can flexibly adjust the layout according to actual needs. Container houses are extremely weather-resistant and can cope with severe weather such as high temperatures and cold, providing workers with a stable and safe living environment.
Below is the site accommodation floor plan for 50 persons, you can check it out for your reference. You need to understand that all design plans are different, you can tell us your needs so that we can provide you with a matching solution.

labor camp accommodation layout for 100 persons
The 100-person camp accommodation is suitable for small and medium-sized projects. It is similar to the design of the 50-person labor camp. The 100-person prefab labor camp requires a certain size of accommodation and workspace. On the basis of the 50-person camp layout plan, the number of container houses is increased and more accommodation units are set up to accommodate more workers. At the same time, different accommodation areas can be set up to divide management and ordinary employees. In addition to providing accommodation areas, basic living facilities, including dining and sanitary equipment, must be set up.
K-HOME’s modular construction site camps are designed to withstand harsh conditions. They can be easily configured to meet any project requirements. In addition, we also provide reliable solutions to ensure that your project can operate smoothly at any location.
labor camp accommodation layout for 500 persons
When designing the camp accommodation area for a 500-person, the accommodation units are still mainly 6m container houses, but they require integrated design in quantity, layout, and functionality. Each container accommodation unit can accommodate 2 to 8 workers(can be flexibly adjusted according to team needs).
To maximize cost-effectiveness, workers’ accommodation units are usually set up for 6-8 people and use a shared sanitation module. At the same time, multi-story stacking of container houses may be required to save space. In addition, workers’ dormitories and manager accommodation need to be designed separately. This can ensure that different groups have better living space and privacy protection.
The site office area plays an important role in the design, especially for project management, coordination, and administration. The office area needs to be divided into functions according to the needs of different departments. Ensure that each area has a clear functional positioning to facilitate efficient personnel flow and coordination.
The canteen area should have enough seating to accommodate hundreds of people. The kitchen area should be equipped with kitchen equipment and food storage space to ensure the storage and processing of food.
Sanitary facilities are an integral part of the camp. A 500-person camp should have multiple sanitary containers, considering male and female areas. Each area needs to be equipped with enough toilets, sinks, showers, and laundry rooms. In addition, the design of sanitary facilities should focus on cleanliness, privacy, and convenience.
A 500-person prefabricated camp requires comprehensive design considerations to balance safety, comfort, and operational efficiency. For large prefabricated labor camps, reasonable design layout and functional area configuration are important. The modular container solutions we provide not only have advantages in construction speed and flexibility but also can effectively support the work and life needs of employees. They can ensure the smooth progress of the project and provide an efficient and safe living environment for workers.
Here is our design plan. You can view it to understand better. However, please understand that all projects are unique, so their design solutions differ. You can tell us your needs so that we can provide you with a matching solution.
