A Comprehensive Guide to Welfare Unit Features

Available in three sizes—12’, 16’, and 20’—our units are designed to meet various site requirements. Each unit comes equipped with a canteen, WC, and a drying room, with the 20’ unit also including an office space. Whether your team needs a space for 6 or up to 12 people, we have a unit to suit your needs.

Power is critical for site operations, and our welfare units are fitted with top-spec equipment to ensure cost-effective energy efficiency. Each unit includes:
