Looking back to the start of the pandemic, it is likely that no one could have imagined the challenges we would face. In light of a still uncertain future, it seems as if staying vigilant and looking for new ways to solve problems are good courses of action.
Inspiration for problem-solving comes from all types of places, and often the least likely places give up the best ideas. We found some solid inspiration when our mates at the Bell Tower Times noticed our ad for Aussie Demountables (previously Fox Transportables) 54-Man Mining Camp. When Bell Tower Times featured our advertisement, it was captioned as a way to solve the rental crisis or as quarantine housing. Even though the post was made in fun, the notion rang true.
At Aussie Demountables, Problem Solving is What We Do
Our journey from providing transportable units for mining camps and seasonal workers has taught us one crucial lesson: flexibility is the key to solving unexpected challenges. When the world faced unprecedented disruption, we realized our transportable buildings could do more than just house workers – they could be a lifeline during emergencies.
Could Aussie Demountables be the Answer to Disaster Relief and Quarantine Needs? On the surface, using our units for disaster relief might sound unorthodox, at best. However, explore the idea a little further, and it makes good sense. Our transportable buildings have always been about more than just accommodation – they’re about providing solutions when and where they’re needed most.
Why Portable Buildings are Uniquely Suited for Emergencies
- Rapid Deployment: Unlike traditional construction, our units can be set up in days, not months.
- Incredible Flexibility: From medical facilities to emergency shelters and accommodations, our buildings adapt to whatever the situation demands.
- Proven Durability: Designed for Western Australia’s toughest conditions, our units can withstand challenging environments.
What Aussie Demountables Provides
Our units could be a reasonable choice for emergency and quarantine housing for several reasons:
- Our quality dongas, worker accommodations, kitchens, office spaces, and stock units can go to almost anywhere there is a need
- The transportables set up quickly, and our team knows how to expedite the process
- The units arrive clean and ready for occupancy
- Climate control, individual showers and bathroom facilities are generally standard
- The units arrange into various configurations. This makes quarantining and separation easier by design
- Aussie Demountable accommodations design and materials make cleaning and upkeep simple. Staff members will not struggle with cleaning and sanitisation of surfaces
Versatile Applications of Portable Buildings in Emergencies

- Quarantine Accommodation
- Disaster Relief Shelters

- Supply Distribution Hubs
Second-Hand Stock Put to Good Use
Frequently, the companies who buy Aussie Demountable units for mining camps or seasonal worker accommodations opt to get customised buildings made to suit specific circumstances. When new units are in demand, we can get a backlog of second-hand stock. It is important to remember that even though these buildings have had occupants and were used for their intended purposes, they are in excellent condition.
We craft our transportables here in Western Australia and take pride in our design and craftsmanship. We proudly stand behind our products and are as confident in our second-hand transportables as we are of brand-new buildings. Our staff inspects all of our buildings before they leave our yard. Additionally, all included equipment, such as washers, dryers, showers, toilets, and climate control systems, must pass our inspection to make sure everything is in working order.
While it is our deep desire that emergencies and quarantine needs will be rare, Aussie Demountables stands ready to help communities when they need support most. Whether it’s a pandemic, natural disaster, or unexpected crisis, we’ve got the solution.
