56 Detachable Container Units for Australian Gas Camp

Location: Australia Scale: 56 units, 6*3m detachable modular containers Application: Natural gas workforce camp — dormitories, offices, storage, dining

As a leading modular container house manufacturer with global experience, Suzhou Stars delivered 56 detachable units for a remote Australian natural gas camp. Each unit was pre-fabricated in China and installed on-site, providing accommodation, offices, storage, and dining spaces with rapid deployment and high structural performance.

The project faced multiple constraints:

• Remote location with limited access for transport and equipment
• No heavy-lifting machinery available
• Short installation timeline: full camp ready in 10 days
• Multiple functions required within single units: dormitory, office, storage, dining
• Weather conditions: strong winds and high temperature variations
• Storage and logistics management for pre-fabricated modules

These conditions required modular units that could be assembled, disassembled, and relocated as needed.

Each unit features:

• Heavy-duty steel frame with bolt-on corner connections
• Pre-insulated sandwich panels for walls, floors, and roof
• Pre-installed electrical wiring and lighting
• Configurable interior layout for dormitories, offices, and storage

Units can be stacked, combined, or moved without affecting structural integrity. Compared with welded containers or traditional modular units, detachable container house units reduce onsite work and allow repeated assembly and relocation, making them ideal for temporary or movable camp solutions.

The installation of 56 units was completed in 7 days using a team of four. The steps were:

1. Corner Connect (H3) Bolt-on corners fixed to form the base frame.
2. Column Installation (H3) Vertical steel columns erected to create the structural skeleton.
3. Top Beam Installation (H3) Primary beams connected for structural stability.
4. Wall Panels Installation (H3) Pre-insulated wall panels installed on the frame.
5. Top Secondary Beam Installation (H3) Additional beams added to support ceiling and roof.
6. Ceiling Installation (H3) Pre-fitted ceiling panels secured in place.
7. Glass Wool Roof Insulation (H3) Insulation layer applied to maintain thermal performance.
8. Rock Wool Roof Panel Installation (H3) Roof panels installed to provide weather resistance and durability.
9. Final Finish (H3) Doors, windows, and utilities installed. Quality checks completed.

• Installation completed in 7 days
• Labor reduced by approximately 80% compared with conventional construction
• Units can be disassembled, relocated, and reused across multiple sites
• Pre-insulated panels maintain thermal performance and noise reduction
• Durable steel frames allow repeated assembly without structural degradation

• Cost and Time Efficiency: Pre-fabrication reduces material waste and labor time. Bulk shipping lowers transport costs.
• Flexibility: Units can be reconfigured, stacked, or relocated. Dormitories can be converted into offices or storage.
• Comfort and Maintenance: Insulated panels and durable finishes ensure stable internal conditions and low maintenance.

The deployment validated the use of prefabricated detachable container houses for remote workforce accommodation:

• 56 units installed in 7 days
• Reduced labor and transport costs
• Units reused and reconfigured according to operational needs
• Consistent living conditions and functional layouts maintained

This natural gas camp demonstrates that detachable container houses and detachable flat pack container houses can provide fast, flexible, and reusable accommodation for remote sites. Units can be disassembled, relocated, and adapted to multiple functions while maintaining thermal performance and structural durability.
