Oilfield Man Camps & Commercial Kitchen Container IN UAE

Case Studies – Fully Functional Oilfield Labor Camp in the UAE

The UAE’s special geographical environment, climatic conditions, cultural background, and economic development are challenging for the construction of construction labor camps. We need to consider many factors comprehensively during the construction process.

Background Investigation of Oilfield Worker Camps in UAE

• Climate conditions: The UAE is located in a desert area, and the hot and dry climate brings unique challenges to prefab camp construction. In view of this environment, the design of prefabricated camp buildings should focus on temperature control. The building needs to have good thermal insulation performance and be equipped with sufficient air conditioning and other refrigeration equipment to ensure a comfortable indoor temperature. Therefore, building oilfield worker camps in the Middle East has certain requirements for architectural design and material selection.

• Geological conditions: The UAE is located in a desert area with loose soil. The foundation of prefabricated container buildings needs to be reinforced, and measures such as piling reinforcement can be taken.

• Infrastructure: Ensure that water, electricity, and sewage treatment facilities are complete. For remote areas, backup generators and reasonable power distribution systems may be required to cope with possible unstable power supply.

Challenges in the oilfield man camp project

In the overall planning of the oilfield camp, our customers pay special attention to the safety design of the commercial container kitchen and restaurant area. UAE customers require the kitchen to have a 1.5-hour fire protection standard. In response to the customer’s requirements, our design team conducted in-depth communication and professional technical demonstration, and finally adopted a detachable container structure for construction. Double-glass magnesium rock wool board is used as the enclosure structure, and stainless steel is innovatively used to create a fireproof ceiling system.

This carefully designed fire protection solution not only fully meets the requirements of the specification, but also shows excellent performance in third-party authoritative testing-the actual measured fire protection time is far beyond the standard requirements, and has been highly praised by customers.

Construction methods and design planning of the oil field man camps project

This large oilfield container camp project implemented in the UAE covers an area of ​​4,000 square meters. It is a comprehensive camp integrating work, life, dining, and entertainment functions. The project adopts two modular construction solutions: flat pack containers and detachable containers to meet the special needs of different functional areas.

senior & junior Accommodation areas, office buildings, entertainment facilities and storage areas are built with flat pack contianers. This prefabricated flat pack container has completed the integration of roofs and floors in the factory, which greatly improves the efficiency of on-site construction and perfectly meets the customer’s strict requirements for the construction period.
For areas with special requirements for space and functions such as commercial restaurants, kitchens, garbage rooms and laundry rooms, highly customizable detachable container solutions are selected. In particular, in the commercial kitchen area, this construction method not only meets strict fire protection standards, but also can flexibly adjust the space height and internal layout according to actual needs, fully reflecting the unique advantage of modular buildings “standard and customization coexisting”.

The combined use of these two container solutions not only ensures the overall construction progress of the project, but also realizes the professional design of each functional area, demonstrating our K-HOME’s systematic thinking and customized service capabilities in the construction of large container camps.

Commercial customized kitchen built with detachable containers

On-site kitchens and dining halls are common in Oilfield Man Camps, where workers can enjoy three meals a day. The meals are often tailored to meet the nutritional needs of physically demanding jobs, and they may offer a variety of options to accommodate different dietary preferences.

The modular container kitchen is customized according to client’s needs. The area includes various functions, such as cooking area, preparation area, freezing area, staff office, changing area, and dishwashing area, it is a comprehensive kitchen.

Considering that there is cooking area in the kitchen, Class A fireproof materials are used, such as rock wool sandwich wall panels, fireproof floors, and roof glass wool insulation materials. And considering that there is a lot of oil smoke inside the kitchen, the internal wall panels are made of easy-to-clean stainless steel plates, which also look very beautiful.

Dining Hall built with detachable containers

The dining hall is divided into 2 areas according to the different types of work: Labour mess hall and senior & Junior mess hall.

The dining container has suitable and enough windows installed on the wall to provide the best lighting inside the container. The container width is customized from the standard 3 meters to 4 meters, the height is customized from the standard 2.8 meters to 3.2 meters, so the ceiling is higher, people will not feel so depressed. The container adopts a spacious, practical and ergonomic design to ensure that multiple people can dine comfortably.

The spacious interior space is installed with a heating and cooling system to create a healthy and spacious environment. At the same time, the outer and inner walls of the container are made of 50mm insulation material to ensure high comfort and heat does not lose so quickly.
