With so many Mines operating in South Africa, the need for mine site accommodation has increased over the past few years and it is becoming increasingly more challenging to accommodate all the miners and sub-contractors on site. Many of the mines are operating on tribal lands that are not owned by the Mining companies. Using mobile accommodation instead of brick and mortar buildings makes absolute sense in these instances. Coupled with the fact that the mines in our country have individual and varying life spans, the mobile building industry is the solution for these issues.
