Delamere Village

Project Overview

The project covered the supply and installation of a remote camp with 64 accommodation rooms, a commercial kitchen and freezer storage, cool rooms, a dining room, a gym, a tavern, a recreation room, offices and laundries.

Site infrastructure included a bore, a water treatment plant, a wastewater treatment plant, an effluent irrigation system and a power station, along with all service reticulation and commissioning, and ongoing maintenance of the facility.

The Location

The delivery of the camp presented various challenges. The first was the remote location of the site, with no accommodation within 120 km for the installation staff.

The second was locating a reliable water source. The third was meeting the client’s requirement to accommodate 40 staff within the fly camp while they executed short-term defence exercises.

The Solution

The preliminaries entailed detailed design, geotechnical investigation, topographical investigations, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, fire engineering, environmental approvals, structural engineering, liquor licensing and an NCC conformance report.

To mitigate the lack of nearby accommodation, Northern Transportables constructed a fly camp for the installation staff. A reliable water source was found by drilling the first bore at 80 m deep, which achieved twice the volume required.

Northern Transportables’ can-do attitude provided the solution to meet the client’s expectation of housing 40 staff within the fly camp during their short-term defence exercises.
