Introduction:
At RS French, we offer a comprehensive range of welfare units designed to meet the diverse needs of construction, including remote off-grid work sites. With that, we have static and mobile welfare units that boost a range of facilities and utilities.
From small, short-term works to large, long-duration sites, we have a solution available.
In this article, we will be taking a closer look at the differences between our mobile and static welfare units to help you choose the right unit for your requirements.
What projects can we support?
At RS French, we have had the pleasure of supporting a wide range of projects and clients over the past 40 years, addressing their welfare needs. As part of our offering, we can provide:
- Static Units: These units are ideal for projects with a fixed location for an extended period. They offer spacious and robust facilities, often equipped with larger water and waste tanks, and can include features like dedicated drying rooms, expanded canteens with microwaves and kettles, and comfortable seating for larger teams.
- Mobile Units: When flexibility and rapid deployment are key, mobile units are an excellent choice. These highly portable, towable units are designed for quick setup and relocation, making them perfect for transient sites like roadworks, utility installations, or smaller construction projects that move frequently.
Let’s take a look at the key features of both static and mobile welfare units:
Static Units
The RS French static welfare units are fully self-contained welfare cabins that are purpose-built to accommodate up to 16 people comfortably. They host a variety of facilities, including toilets, office area, canteen, drying room and more.
Our static units offer several benefits, including:
- Spacious and Well-Equipped Interiors: Static units typically boast more generous internal dimensions compared to mobile units. This allows for a wider range of facilities and a more comfortable experience for workers.
- Enhanced Durability and Security: Built from robust, anti-vandal steel construction, static welfare units are designed to withstand harsh site conditions and deter theft or damage. Their heavy-duty construction makes them ideal for long-term placement, offering a secure environment for personnel and valuable equipment.
- Stability for Long-Term Projects: For construction sites, infrastructure developments, or remote operations that span months or even years, static welfare units provide a stable and reliable base.
- Professional Site Presence: A well-organised set-up of static welfare units presents a professional and efficient image for any project. They provide a clear, designated area for all welfare needs, contributing to a tidy and well-managed site.
Mobile Units
These eco-friendly and towable units are ideal for remote sites with no mains access and are available in various sizes to meet diverse site needs.
Our mobile units offer several benefits, including:
- Rapid Deployment: Can be towed and secured by one person in minutes.
- Self-Sufficiency: The RSF Eco Mobile + is the ideal choice for eco-conscious site managers with its solar-first energy system, reducing the need for generator use and significantly lowering your site’s carbon footprint.
- Compact Yet Comprehensive: Despite their compact size, they typically include a canteen, toilets and office area.
- Eco-Friendly Options: Many of our mobile units incorporate solar technology and advanced battery systems to significantly reduce fuel consumption, lower carbon emissions, and extend generator life, aligning with growing sustainability goals.
- Security Features: Anti-vandal designs, high-security doors and windows deter theft and provide a secure environment.
