McArthur River Mine Accommodation Camp

Project Overview

The McArthur River Mine project involved the design, supply and installation of 120 new accommodation rooms and three laundries over three years.

Each room was equipped with essential amenities such as beds, TVs, fridges, air conditioning and bathroom facilities, ensuring a comfortable living environment for the occupants. The laundries were fitted with commercial grade washing machines and dryers.

The Location

The new facilities replaced rooms that were beyond economical repair at the MRM mine site accommodation village, located about 900 kilometres southeast of Darwin.

The Solution

The project was phased over three years, with 40 single rooms installed in 2022, 40 double rooms and three laundries in 2023, and another 40 single rooms in 2024.

It emphasises sustainable development by integrating environmental, social and economic considerations, covering the design, supply and construction of demountable buildings in compliance with structural, electrical and plumbing standards.

The accommodation was designed to withstand local site conditions and provide essential amenities such as hot water systems, LED lighting and safety features. The overall goal was to enhance the living conditions at the McArthur River Mine site while adhering to the highest standards of safety and quality.
