Ausco wins accommodation contract
WPG awarded Ausco Modular a $13m contract to supply accommodation for the Peculiar Knob project. The new village will house around 250 workers, in over 100 buildings. Ausco Modular will transport the buildings from Adelaide to the mine.
Example of the type of building to be supplied to Peculiar Knob.
AusCo Modular’s regional manager Rob Wormald said the keys to the fully outfitted village will be handed over in October. “This village will set an industry benchmark in mining site accommodation, going above and beyond to make it a real home away from home for the workers.
“It will have administration offices, kitchen and dining facilities, recreation buildings, plus a barbeque area, swimming pool and gym. Each bedroom will feature an ensuite bathroom, flat-screen television, split-system air-conditioning and fridge. The layout of the village has also been altered so existing trees and shrubs could be kept intact.”
WPG Resources will hire a temporary village from Ausco Modular while the other is built. “There’s still more than 50 people needing on-site accommodation before the permanent village is complete,” Wormald said.
