US ARMY BASE - IRAQ

Date: 2005

Client: KBR / US Army

Location:  Iraq / Kuwait

Total surface: 300.000 sqm

Contract for the design, production, transportation, and installation of containerized housing units in support of the U.S. Army in Iraq. The project, accommodating a total of 5.000 soldiers, was delivered and installed in just 150 days. Due to the special dimensions of the units and to minimize transportation costs, an assembly plant was set up in Kuwait.

The strengths of our solution were:

• Resilience to critical conditions and reduced maintenance costs due to the quality of materials

• Reduction of transportation costs through a flat-pack configuration

• Utilization of local inexperienced resources due to easy handling and assembly

• Possibility to transfer units to optimize investment costs
