Site Offices & Accommodation For New Projects In Niger Delta by autoprof: 3:42pm On Jun 21, 2013
Every project that has a management plan and serious minded engineers ought to start with some site offices. This is not about building ''Batchers'' with wood on one edge of project site. It only makes sense to plan a project to reduce challenges and uncertainties. First aid, safety, toolbox meeting venue, project conference room, muster points, access control board and security plane must be capture. For this reason, doing the first things first still remains the gate way to success in projects. When we place the cart before the horse, we are bound to have challenges.

Sometimes, investors do things without proper planning and later regret their approach. What sense does it make to enter into a new environment for a project construction and start leasing properties all over in the closest towns when such offices can easily be positioned at your contract site? This would give you many advantages such as proximity, visible supervision, cost reduction, prevention of unnecessary construction and allow you to understand and work with the host community better before investing in solid permanent buildings. If a community rejects a project, will the investors transfer solid block buildings?

I had the privilege of setting up site offices for a particular oil and gas company. As the contract progressed, it was discovered based on the quality of hydrocarbon gas in that location that the plant would of a necessity require a gas scrubber. Mean while, some selfish people who were interested in some selfish gains had advised that block building be erected instead of Portacabins and converted shipping containers. At the end,because of the use of Revlyte Portacabins, the units were simply relocated within the vast area of land owned by the oil company.

Just think about it; the digging of foundation, concrete work, block molding and erecting, roofing, ceiling, tiling, plastering, painting, electrical work, payment for labor force and after all these spending of money, the building needs to be destroyed because a new development came up during the project. That would be a colossal loss.

In projects, alterations and modifications are always common. Sometimes, the areas where offices and residential accommodation are located are later found to be inappropriate because some new discoveries had come up. Based on proximity, security, safety and processes, some offices or building may need to move.Some times, something we have not experienced before happens. For example, the Niger Delta flood. In such a case, at the middle of a project, what do you do?

If Portacabins and or converted shipping containers are used, this financial waste and loss of man hour is prevented. The units are simply lifted and relocated. When everything is completely done in terms of process requirements and good relationship with host communities established and proven, then it becomes wise for solid block offices to be built. Am tired of seeing buildings and staff accommodation abandoned at the middle of no where in the bushes. Sometimes, when you calculate, you just wonder what on earth made an investor to waste such millions in ignorance.

Do you have projects in Niger Delta or the Eastern Nigeria? Then buy Portacabins and or converted shipping containers from Revlyte limited to start your projects. Do not waste resources on elaborate buildings in an area that you have no total control over. Send your designs for fabrication to us. Ask us relevant questions. Lets do some investigation on your behalf and advice you appropriately.
Another advantage of using portacabin or container offices is that, when your project is completed, you can redeploy the units or sell them out rightly. Based on community challenges, political instability and necessity of modifications, use Revlyte Portacabins.
