Crews that need a place to stay
Crews on a project, an outage response or a clean-up near Austin can live on site in man camp trailers instead of competing for local lodging. Industrial sites such as Hormel's corporate headquarters and main production facility and Quality Pork Processors, a contract food processor serving Hormel can bring in out-of-town crews for projects, outages and clean-ups. A man camp rental can combine sleepers, showers, laundry and a kitchen in one delivery.
Sleeping units
The 20 ft sleeper trailers are listed in shared (bunks or sleeping pods), contractor (individual sleeping areas with storage) and VIP (private room, bathroom and kitchenette) layouts, with heating, air conditioning, power and lighting listed. Containerized sleeper units are insulated, with bunk beds, climate control and a two-room layout. Bed counts are confirmed with your quote.
Showers, laundry and meals
Shower options include a 22 ft 10-stall shower trailer, a 20 ft 5-stall shower container and 13, 22 and 30 ft shower and restroom combinations with 3, 6 and 8 stalls, plus ADA versions. Laundry trailers are listed at 24, 26 to 27 ft (eight washer and dryer sets) and 30 ft, and mobile kitchens run from 24 ft to 40 ft.
Site and season
Set-up needs a level pad, access, power, water where required and local approvals, so check with the city of Austin before placing units. Crews responding to an incident like the June 17, 2009 tornado would need lodging, showers and meals on site. Austin gets about 36 inches of precipitation and 43 inches of snow a year, with a record high of 102 and a record low of -42 degrees F. In winter the approach and the steps need to stay plowed. Main routes into Austin include Interstate 90, U.S. Highway 218 and Highway 105. Send the street address and the nearest cross street.
