Foldable Container House Project for Mining Camp Indonesia

Project Overview

This project involved RuiLong providing mining camp facilities for an Indonesian mining company. The client requested efficient and comfortable living and office space planning and design. The project comprised 78 foldable container houses primarily used for worker dormitories, management zones, and on-site offices. Construction commenced in 2025, and the units are now operational.

  • Project Purpose: Mining Camp
  • Application: Worker Dormitories, Offices
  • Product Type: Foldable Container Housing
  • Quantity: 78 Units
  • Time: 2025
  • Location: Indonesia

Client Requirements

The client planned to establish a new mining camp in a remote Indonesian region, facing these primary challenges:

  • Tight Schedule: Camp construction must be completed rapidly for immediate operation;
  • Frequent Relocation: Mining cycles last 2-3 years, requiring full relocation to the next mining site upon project completion;
  • Limited Construction Conditions: Weak local infrastructure necessitates minimizing on-site construction work;
  • High Comfort Requirements: The camp must simultaneously serve as worker dormitories and management offices.

Solution

Based on the project characteristics, RuiLong recommended a folding container house solution better suited for frequent relocation and rapid installation, along with comprehensive supporting facilities services.

1. Customized Design

Following in-depth discussions with the client, our design team planned a camp layout comprising five functional zones:

  • Management Dormitory Building (with private bathrooms)
  • Single-story worker dormitory area
  • Two-story office building
  • Dining and common areas
  • Sanitation and utility room

The design underwent multiple rounds of revisions and approvals, ultimately achieving a modular solution with comprehensive functionality, efficient layout, and convenient transportation.

2. Supporting Facility Configuration

Considering the client’s requirement for a turnkey camp delivery, RuiLong simultaneously provided indoor furniture and living amenities, including:

  • Dormitories: Steel beds, palm fiber mattresses, wardrobes
  • Bathrooms: PVC partitions, stainless steel shower kits, sinks, toilets
  • Office areas: Desks, chairs, filing cabinets
  • Climate control: Air conditioning units and exhaust systems

All facilities comply with Indonesian import regulations, ensuring smooth customs clearance and rapid project implementation.

Product Features

RuiLong’s foldable container house offers the following advantages:

Rapid Installation: Each unit is prefabricated in the factory. On-site installation requires only crane lifting and bolting, with one module completed in 5 minutes—reducing construction time by 70%-80% compared to traditional buildings.

Efficient Transportation: When folded, the volume is only 1/5 of the unfolded size. A single 40-foot container can hold 10 units, significantly reducing transportation costs.

Durable Construction: Featuring high-strength steel structures and anti-corrosion coatings, the units maintain structural integrity even after repeated folding, making them suitable for long-term outdoor environments.

Easy Storage and Management: Each unit is packaged in three-dimensional PE moisture-proof and dust-proof packaging, ensuring safety and reliability. This facilitates centralized storage and allocation at construction sites, significantly reducing the risk of material loss.

Project Installation and Outcomes

Upon arrival in Indonesia, the client assembled the units following RuiLong’s detailed installation drawings and operation manuals. RuiLong’s technical team provided remote guidance throughout the process to ensure smooth construction.

The entire camp installation was fully completed in just two weeks, delivering 15 days ahead of schedule and significantly boosting overall project efficiency.

Upon commissioning, the camp provided comfortable and secure accommodation and workspaces for over a hundred employees. Even under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions, the interior maintained excellent ventilation and temperature control, earning unanimous praise from management and staff alike.

Project Feedback

The client expressed high satisfaction with this collaboration: “RuiLong’s rapid response and professional support made the entire project efficient and smooth. The foldable container housing not only saved installation time but also simplified camp relocation during different phases. We will continue partnering with RuiLong for future camp expansions.”

Summary

This project fully demonstrates the advantages of RuiLong’s foldable container housing for mining camps and remote area construction: rapid installation, convenient transportation, robust structure, and cost-efficiency.
