In remote regions of Oman, projects often struggle with limited infrastructure, unstable power supply, and high operating costs. To meet these challenges, GS Housing developed a 56-unit modular office and labor accommodation camp that operates independently with a full solar power system. This off-grid solution has become a benchmark for sustainable and efficient flat-pack container construction in the Middle East.

1. Project Overview

Location: Oman

Scale: 56 flat-pack houses

Functions: Container Office building + modular accommodation units + portable sanitation modules

Key Feature: Solar-powered temporary workforce accommodation camp operating 24/7 without municipal electricity

This labor camp project was specifically designed for remote work sites where quick deployment, stable power, and high comfort are essential.

2. Solar Power System: Core Advantage of the Office Area

The prefab office building is equipped with high-efficiency solar panels and battery storage, enabling the entire office area to run independently.

✔ 24/7 Office Power Supply

The system uses solar energy to power air conditioning, lighting, computers, and office equipment during the day; at night, it is continuously powered by energy storage batteries to ensure stable equipment operation.

✔ No Grid Connection Required

Solve the problem of “difficult and costly power access” in remote areas, truly achieving “build and use immediately.”

✔ Energy Saving and Low Operating Costs

The solar system significantly reduces the use of diesel generators, reducing fuel consumption and maintenance costs at the source.

✔ Environmentally Friendly

Reduces carbon emissions, aligning with the policy requirements for sustainable projects in Oman and the Middle East.

This makes it ideal for desert modular camps, Oman construction site bunkhouses, and remote mine camp locations.

3. Modular Design for Office and Accommodation

Designed for harsh climates in Oman and the Gulf region:

Double-layer steel panels with high-density rock wool insulation

Temperature-resistant roofing structure

Efficient AC configuration

Independent toilet and shower modules

The worker accommodation camp provides a comfortable, safe, and stable living environment even during Oman’s 45°C summer heat.

4. Fast Installation and High Mobility

Portacabins are fully preassembled in the factory and only require simple on-site installation.

Benefits include:

60% shorter construction period

Minimal on-site disturbance

Easy relocation, reuse, and expansion

This greatly improves project efficiency for contractors working in remote Omani regions.

5. Sustainability and Cost Efficiency

The solar-powered flat-pack camp demonstrates the value of combining modular construction with renewable energy:

Lower long-term electricity cost

Reduced diesel generator dependence

Eco-friendly operation

Long service life and repeatable use

For companies operating in Oman, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, this model offers a sustainable and scalable solution for workforce accommodation.

6. Why Choose GS Housing for Solar-Ready Modular Container Camps?

GS Housing provides:

Large-scale temporary workforce housing production capacity
