Solutions

Due to the urgency of the project time, our team organized an online meeting, discussed more project details with the manager as soon as we received the inquiry. such as detailed dimensions, For reducing the installation work on the client’s site, we recommend our clients use the portable container structure as the oil field lodging. Compare to the traditional building, the modular design of oil field housing can be produced all materials in our factory, including the basic electricity such as lamps and electric wires, and clients don’t need to do site process work, which will save a lot of time and labor on the installation site.

After the oil field worker housing arriving the site, the client only needs to assemble them together like building a block. We will provide a full set of installation guidance including installation video, installation manual, and construction drawings. During the installation process, if there are any questions, we can use a video meeting to guide the installation at any time.

The portable container structure is transported by the shipping container. All material will be connected by bolts and loaded loosely will also make full use of the shipping container space, saving a lot in transportation costs. One 40’HQ shipping container can load about 200 square meters of the house totally.

Container House Floor Plans for Oil field Housing

For the design of oil field camp, such as accommodation, the internal accommodations of managers, engineers and workers were designed differently. A single standard container house can accommodate 1-8 beds, so this determines the diversity of the design. Managers and engineers can add separate bathroom space, kitchen, and leisure area inside the accommodation so that they can get a more comfortable experience. Workers’ dormitories can choose between 2-8 people. In addition to accommodation, public bathrooms, laundry rooms, and public entertainment facilities can be designed for a large number of workers, so that workers can feel comfortable and warm even if they are not at home.

Oil Field Housing Manufacturers

K-home is a reliable Oil Field Housing Manufacturers. Because the container house is manufactured in accordance with the size, it can be mass-produced in a modular manner to solve the emergency of the demanders. Its model is factory production and on-site installation. The housing for oil field workers is easy to install and combine and can be stacked up to 3 stories high, which greatly saves construction time and construction space. At sites that need to be moved, prefabricated modular container houses can be transported on a short distance by trucks. However, if the place to be moved is relatively far, it is more recommended to disassemble and transport the container houses.

The standard size of the container house is 3*6*2.8 meters, and custom sizes can also be accepted according to different needs. The camping container house is a combination of light steel frame and sandwich panel. Container houses use relatively high-strength steel as the frame, which enhances the durability and safety of the house; secondly, the choice of wall panels is also diverse. The functionalities of the wall panels can be selected according to actual needs: PU sandwich wall panels, EPS sandwich panels, rock wool sandwich panels, glass wool sandwich panels, they all have good waterproof, fireproof, and heat insulation properties.

At the same time, K-HOME has been updated and upgraded in the roof and ground system.
K-HOME has designed the roof purlins so that the middle height is low on both sides, and a relatively wide sink is installed around it. After installing the roof panel, if rainwater is encountered, the rainwater will automatically flow to the surrounding sinks on the roof and from the sink. The flow is discharged to the water pipe installed in the column.

In terms of the ground system, K-HOME made adjustments to the bottom purlins, increasing the original 9 to 14 to increase the density of the bottom purlins and ensure the safety of the load-bearing box house. K-HOME also made a careful design on the corner head. The angle head is an important part to connect the column and the beam. K-HOME designs an invisible connection method that will not expose the connecting bolts, thereby increasing the service life of the container housing.
