Self-contained accommodation for individual personnel, engineers and supervisors who need to stay close to site.
Overnight site accommodation for remote construction and infrastructure projects
Long travel times, remote working sites, changing shifts and limited hotel availability all make projects harder to manage. RestPod helps keep key teams closer to site when travel and changing schedules start putting pressure on delivery.
Projects lose time before work even starts
An hour each way between accommodation and site is not unusual on remote projects.
At first, most jobs simply work around it. Once schedules start changing, project delays need to be addressed or shifts start to move around, travel starts affecting the job itself.
Hotels can become difficult to manage:
- teams spread across different locations
- inconsistent travel times
- limited room availability
- and less flexibility once programmes come under pressure.
Over longer programmes, these challenges start affecting the way the job runs day to day.
Fatigue is becoming part of the issue as well. Industry research suggests 44% of construction workers spend between two and three hours per day travelling to and from work, while more than 80% are not getting enough sleep. On longer infrastructure projects, extended travel and inconsistent routines can quickly start affecting shift flexibility and day-to-day coordination on site.
RestPod reduces travel time and gives teams a more consistent place to stay during demanding phases of work
Designed for projects where travel and accommodation start affecting delivery
RestPod is particularly suited to projects where travel, accommodation logistics and changing schedules are starting to affect day-to-day operations.
That is often the case on rail possessions, remote utilities works, highways schemes and longer infrastructure programmes where specialist teams are travelling significant distances every day.
RestPod gives projects another option for when hotels and long travel times start putting pressure on delivery.
Government planning linked to major UK infrastructure projects already uses travel catchments of up to 60 minutes when assessing workforce accommodation and labour availability.
Flexible, on-site accommodation
RestPod is a range of self-contained accommodation units designed for infrastructure and remote construction projects.
Built using a robust steel structure with insulated walls, ceilings and floors, RestPod units include integrated heating, lighting, shower facilities and secure access for teams working on longer or operationally demanding projects.
Available in a range of layouts and configurations, RestPod can be matched to different project requirements, from individual personnel through to larger accommodation requirements on longer-duration programmes.
The range has been designed to be deployed quickly and positioned flexibly around live site environments where space, access and changing project conditions all need to be considered.
The RestPod range
RestPod is available in a number of configurations depending on project requirements.
RestPod Solo (11 x 9)
RestPod Twin (11 x 9)
Shared accommodation for two occupants where projects require a practical and efficient accommodation solution for site-based teams.
RestPod Twin Luxe (24 x 10)
A larger accommodation option designed for longer stays and projects where additional space and comfort are important.
Built around how projects actually operate
Reduce travel pressure
- Keeping teams on-site makes changing shifts and longer working periods easier to manage.
Better suited to remote works
- Hotels are not always easy to manage on remote projects where teams are travelling long distances every day.
Supports specialist teams
- Suitable for engineers, supervisors, commissioning teams and specialist contractors, with accommodation options available to suit different project requirements and workforce needs.
Flexible around the programme
- For projects where hotels or full accommodation compounds are not the right fit.
Part of a wider accommodation and infrastructure capability
Where larger workforce accommodation is required, Wernick can also support through:
- modular accommodation solutions
- temporary infrastructure
- and temporary power for remote projects where supporting services are limited.
This allows accommodation setups to expand or adapt as projects change depending on:
- workforce size
- project duration
- and site conditions.
