Camp Accommodation, Group 5 Housing
Having built a solid reputation for our large scale accommodation projects, we were keen to embark on the 1000 person Dingleton camp project to add value to a project of sensitive nature.
The entire Dingleton mining town community had to be relocated in order to comply with the legislation for minimum blasting distance. Situated 500m away from the mine’s open-pit, residents’ quality of life was negatively affected and thus re-housing them in Kwikspace’s prefabricated housing was a solution to the challenge posed.
We supplied 129 prefabricated accommodation units, as well as a kitchen and diner, mobile recreation facilities, 20 change rooms and ablutions units as well as site offices. Due to the robust nature of our product which is manufactured using polyurethane panels, the construction team now enjoys comfortable accommodation.
