Client

James Fisher Nuclear

James Fisher Nuclear is currently creating a base in Bower Caithness, Scotland, for an ongoing decommissioning project. Due to the isolated location of the facility and the current COVID restrictions, TEXO Workspace Solutions was asked to provide a workable solution to provide:

• Comfortable sleeping accommodation complete with washing/shower facilities.
• Welfare and recreation facility (a future project).
• Reduce installation time with modular options.
• “Plug and Play” modules to eliminate additional services within units.

The Solution

We proposed using the 3000mm wide x 6000mm long modules from our European partner company ELA.

These modules are purpose-made and incorporate:

9sqm of sleeping accommodation area with carpeted flooring
¾ size bed, table, chair and storage lockers
Black-out security blinds to the outside of full width windows
2Kw electric wall heater
En-suite shower area with toilet, wash hand basin and shower, as well as a wall-mounted electric heater and anti-slip resin flooring
Hot water boiler
Entrance lobby with vinyl flooring and entrance mat.
All doors lockable and supplied with three keys.

The Result

We have successfully supplied, delivered, and installed eight one-man hotel site accommodation units to James Fisher Nuclear at their site in Caithness to provide on-site sleeping accommodation for their personnel. The modules provide a cost-effective way, to provide site-based accommodation, serving as a place to live while working away from home. All eight modules were delivered to site within a single day complete with a pre-prepared fit out.
