What Should We Pay Attention to When Building a Container House Camp in the Middle East?



The Middle East's unique environment and cultural context present distinct challenges for building container house camps. From extreme heat to strict cultural considerations, constructing camps in this region demands meticulous planning and specialized solutions. In this blog, we will explore the critical factors to consider when developing container house camps tailored to the Middle East's needs, ensuring both functionality and comfort for workers.


First of all, we know that the climate in the Middle East is hot and dry, and the temperature in summer is usually very high. Heatstroke prevention and cooling measures must be taken first. For example, the insulation of camp buildings must be handled well, and air conditioning and other refrigeration equipment must be equipped with sufficient and appropriate power to ensure a relatively comfortable temperature indoors.

In addition, most areas in the Middle East have little precipitation and scarce water resources. It is necessary to establish complete water storage and water-saving facilities, and to ensure the drinking standards of water resources. In some areas, there is a lot of wind and sand, and the camp building structure must have a certain ability to prevent wind and sand. In addition, mechanical equipment, electrical equipment, etc. must also be well protected to prevent sand and dust from entering and damaging the equipment. In terms of geology, some places have special geology such as soft sand and saline soil, which must be fully understood when selecting a site. When building a camp on the sand, the foundation must be stable, and measures such as piling reinforcement may be required.



Some areas are located in seismic zones and are subject to earthquake risks. Camp buildings must meet local seismic standards and have emergency shelters and evacuation passages.

Social and cultural aspects cannot be ignored. The Middle East has a strong religious atmosphere, and Islam is the main religion. We must fully respect local religious customs. During the Islamic month of Ramadan, the work and life rhythm of employees will change, and the management and operation of the camp must be adjusted accordingly.

At the same time, we must be familiar with local social etiquette. When interacting with local employees, residents or partners, abiding by these etiquette norms will help build good relationships. In addition, there are some traditional concepts and regulations on gender in the Middle East, and these factors must be taken into account in camp construction and management.

In terms of infrastructure, the power supply in some parts of the Middle East may be unstable. Camps should be equipped with backup generators to ensure that important facilities (such as hospitals, communication equipment, etc.) can still operate normally during power outages. At the same time, the power distribution system should be reasonably planned and reasonably allocated according to the importance and power demand of different facilities to avoid power outages caus0ed by power overload. Some remote areas may have difficulty accessing the local power grid. At this time, the cost and difficulty of power access should be evaluated in advance and other power supply methods should be considered.



In terms of material procurement, a combination of local procurement and international procurement should be adopted. For some common building materials, daily necessities, etc., they can be purchased in the local market, which can not only reduce costs but also support local economic development. Taking into account the various situations that may occur in the Middle East, in the early stage of camp construction, a certain amount of important materials should be reserved according to factors such as project scale and construction period to ensure that the camp can still operate normally in the event of an emergency.

International procurement: For example, the main body of a container house can be imported from overseas, transported to the destination, and then organized for assembly by workers.
