Site Compound

McConnell Dowell

THE IDEAL SOLUTION FOR YOUR STAFF ON SITE

SmartShelters are used across New Zealand on construction sites and roading projects as site compounds, meeting areas, and staff break areas. Their versatility makes them an ideal solution for quick shelter from the weather, which then can be relocated as the project progresses. 

With sustainability becoming increasingly important for construction projects, the ability to relocate a shelter is crucial, as the alternative is a single-use timber structure.

PortaSpan

Our most popular product for site compounds is our PortaSpan range. Available in two set sizes, these are designed to be mounted to portable buildings rather than shipping containers.

They require no bolting or drilling, ensuring the portable buildings remain intact and are easily installed without experience. With a one-week fabrication lead time, they can typically be on your site and set up within two weeks.

  • Available in two sizes
  • Mount to portable buildings
  • No bolting or drilling required
  • Easy to install
  • One week production lead time

Post Mounted Shelter

For larger or longer-term projects, our post-mounted shelters are gaining popularity. With much wider spans available, these can fit large numbers of staff for meeting and eating areas on construction projects.

They are often used in conjunction with portable buildings, but they are completely independent of the buildings. Customisation is available, such as higher side heights, side cladding, end walls, and gap span beams.

Container Mounted Shelter

Our classic container-mounted shelters are commonly used on any construction project, regardless of its size or scope. Shipping containers are now being equipped with more customization and fit-outs, allowing them to be used like portable buildings for site compounds.

A significant advantage of container-mounted shelters is that they offer wide spans while requiring minimal footings. This makes them versatile and easily relocated around construction sites – or to new sites. There is also a wide range of walls and doors available to enclose the shelters, which can be used as workshops or storage areas.

  • Wide spans available
  • Minimal footings required
  • Easy to relocate
  • Customization available
