Ausco Modular was chosen ahead of import rivals to build a $24 million accommodation village for one of Australia’s leading iron ore producers.
The accommodation village, based in Central Pilbara in Western Australia, will be constructed using Ausco Modular’s trademark baseframe and building specifications and delivered by January 2012.
The 540 room village comprises of 180 floors and includes all facilities associated to the accommodation units including modern en suite bathrooms, TV’s, air conditioning and spacious living areas.
Ausco Modular won the contract over an ever increasing trend for mining companies to source their modular infrastructure from overseas suppliers. Emphasis on speed, quality, price, transport reliability and the ability to inspect works are all competing factors that make Ausco Modular the supplier of choice for many Australian companies.
“Ausco Modular has the capabilities to mass-produce outstanding quality modular infrastructure within an extremely tight time frame,” said Ausco Modular’s Western Australia business development and Stayover® manager James Rowdon.
“We have several manufacturing locations in Western Australia that allow us to meet high demand and we have 50 years experience in the modular industry which gives us the technical expertise to produce high quality infrastructure at a competitive cost.”
“When you combine the quality, price and Australian compliance knowledge and adherence, as well as our expertise in transportation, installation and logistical know how in the remote areas of Australia, it makes more sense to source locally.”
Ausco Modular also boasts exceptional customer service which is another reason why using the Australian-based company over international imports is the best option for many companies sourcing modular infrastructure.
“We have office locations in Perth, Karratha and in Kalgoorlie, which means our team of experts are on the ground to get to know our clients, understand their business and their expectations, and to ensure nothing goes wrong.”
Ausco Modular recently became a member of TDR Capital’s global modular group, Algeco Scotsman.
“We are a strong Australian-based company with localised knowledge and heavy investment in Australia’s mining and resources sector, but we also have the expertise of international heavy weights behind us to be a competitive force against imports.”
