This service can be applied to any modular building to reduce risks in cyclonic areas.
At the same time we expanded our scope of accreditation to include the QLD public cyclone shelters document for wind force and debris impact tests to support new building compliance requirements in WA imposed by DOCEP.

Ausco Modular has a proven track record of turnkey delivery with extensive civil experience. This backed by the fact we can manufacture from two plants means the customer can depend on Ausco Modular to deliver on time.

Stayover with Ausco Modular
Ausco Modular, Australia’s largest provider of modular accommodation has secured 26,200 square metres of land in Karratha to develop an attractive 250 room Stayover Village, helping to ease the shortage of accommodation within the Pilbara region. The village is conveniently located to all Karratha facilities and has easy access to major arterial routes.
The Stayover village has been designed as the home away from home with its own entertainment facilities, bar, gym and catered meals. The intimate nature of the village and native landscaping will provide an environment in which to relax and rejuvenate, the perfect retreat after a long days work.
“The Stayover Village will offer workers within the region high quality amenities and well appointed rooms by the night, with a high level of resident services. The residents will enjoy internet access within their rooms as well as the provision of high quality meals,” said Bob McGovern, Ausco Modular’s Regional Manager for WA.
Environmental sustainability has been a key design consideration for the village and the rooms. All water will be treated and recycled for irrigation on-site and the buildings exceed the current energy efficiency requirements as per the Building Code of Australia.
Stage 1 (173 rooms) of the village is planned to open in the second quarter of 2008 with Stage 2 completing the village, following 3 to 4 months later. The rooms are currently being installed on site in Karratha.
