The Challenge
Provide round-the-clock power in a remote location
Flying workers in and out of remote drilling locations can be an expensive and logistical nightmare. Man camps – modular mobile housing with full amenities – are now springing up all over North America in response to the need for temporary accommodation. A drilling company in remote West Texas asked us to power up a 500-person camp on ten 20 acre parcels of land and make it feel like a home away from home. They know that a comfortable workforce is a productive workforce, so the camp came equipped with recreational spaces, medical services and 24-hour security – all of which need round-the-clock power.
