Mobile Accommodation for Exploration and Drilling Programs

The right mobile accommodation setup can mean the difference between a program that runs on time and one that stalls

Exploration and drilling programs operate in some of the most remote corners of Australia. Access to infrastructure is limited, logistics are complex, and crew welfare has a direct impact on the pace of work. The right mobile accommodation setup can mean the difference between a program that runs on time and one that stalls due to avoidable downtime.

Purpose-built for exploration conditions

Standard accommodation does not cut it for mineral exploration programs. Exploration teams need units that can be towed along rough dirt tracks, withstand extreme heat and dust, and remain operational in locations far from the nearest town. Explorex Exploration Vans are designed specifically for these demands, built with the structural robustness and practical features that exploration crews rely on in the field.

The drilling camp setup

A functional drilling camp accommodation setup typically includes Sleeper Vans for crew rest, a Shower Van, and a Kitchen or Crib Room for meals and breaks. For exploration programs with site supervisors or geologists on location, an Office Van keeps project data, reports, and communications centralised. Rig Vans provide dedicated support for drilling operations.

The ability to tow all units independently and reconfigure the camp layout as needed makes mobile exploration camp vans far more practical than fixed accommodation for programs that move between drill pads or tenements.

Custom configurations

Mineral exploration projects often have requirements that fall outside a standard configuration. Explorex has a strong track record of building custom exploration accommodation vans for specialist applications, including mobile laboratories, storage units, and purpose-fitted field support vehicles. If your program has specific requirements, the Explorex team can work with you from the design stage.

Proven in the field

Explorex exploration accommodation vans have been deployed on projects across Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland, and South Australia — from the Pilbara to the Tanami. That track record across Australia's most demanding remote environments is the strongest indicator of how a van will perform on your next program.
