Don’t Forget These 5 Remote Camp Services

DINING

Keep teams fed with nutritious meals that fuel your crew and synchronize with your work schedule. A key element of a functional remote work site, culinary services help ensure your workforce is well-fed for the work at hand. On-site meals also help prevent lost productivity from workers traveling away from the project to find food.

To get the most out of on-site catering for your staff, look for culinary services that offer:

• Mealtimes that work in tandem with breaks and shift changes

• Varied offerings to keep staff interested in the food

• A focus on safety and cleanliness (the last thing your project needs is the staff getting sick from foodborne illness)

• 24/7 grab-and-go and snack service for all shift workers

• End-to-end service, from procurement to preparation and serving

Your workforce likely has a handful of people who require specific accommodations for religious or dietary purposes. Finding a caterer who can customize menus allows you to meet the needs of your staff while powering the success of your project. 

REMOTE SITE MEDICAL SERVICES

Is your project miles away from the nearest restaurant? It may be even farther from adequate healthcare. 

When injuries happen, it pays to have remote site medical services available to staff within walking distance of the job. Medical offerings can include:

• Trained EMTs and paramedics with CPR capabilities

• First aid treatment 

• Critical equipment like bandages, defibrillators and more

From handling minor scrapes and cuts to providing immediate care for major injuries, trained medical professionals on-site can help ease difficult situations. Accidents happen, and when they do, you’ll want to be prepared with remote site medical services in remote regions.

HOUSEKEEPING & JANITORIAL

Don’t underestimate the power of a clean room for staff. Returning to a tidy living space with fresh linens and swept floors can give workers a sense of peace after a long shift. 

Beyond cleaning rooms, on-site housekeeping, janitorial and laundry services can ensure: 

• Communal areas are cleaned to help prevent illness from spreading throughout the camp

• Staff have the towels (washed and folded), soaps and bedroom comforts needed to perform their best

• On-site laundry for staff uniforms and linens

• Clutter and slip and trip hazards are removed from walkways

• Trash is emptied and properly disposed of

Remote camp cleaning services help keep your worksite free of dangers that can come from dirty or cluttered areas as well as showing staff you care about the little things. 

SECURITY

Criminal actors, thieves, vandals or protestors may all target your major project, putting both your staff and infrastructure at risk. How do you plan to keep your worksite safe? 

Remote site security services can act as a deterrent to criminals while boosting psychological well-being for staff. Consider employing security features like:

• Security staff that patrol regularly with UTVs

• Perimeter fencing and controlled access gates to manage entry and exit

• Badge access system

• 24/7 monitoring and CCTV systems to monitor your campus

This area may not be top of mind for decision makers, particularly in remote regions where criminal activity may appear less frequently. However, investing in quality security features can help protect your people and the project you’ve worked so hard to create.

MAINTENANCE

If an AC unit goes out during summer’s peak at a West Texas data center, you and your staff won’t want to wait for a trained technician to arrive at your remote location.

Having maintenance professionals on-site allows for fast, specialized care when important systems go down or things break. Some advantages of maintenance services near the job include:

• Efficient fixes for AC units, light fixtures and more inside bedroom units

• The ability to submit maintenance requests

• A workforce housing campus that keeps working smoothly months or years after the initial setup

Look for turnkey workforce housing companies that offer built-in maintenance programs to seamlessly integrate critical services into your campus.
