Product Introduction
CBC Modular Container Camp Master Plan for Indonesian Mining Operation
Prepared in accordance with CBC Company Standard Detachable Container House Specifications
1. Project Overview
Client: Mining Company in Indonesia
Location: Remote mining site, Indonesia (final delivery inland from Jakarta port)
Accommodation Requirements:
Management Staff: 100 persons (single occupancy)
Workers: 1,000 persons (double occupancy)
Support Facilities: Dining hall, clinic/hospital, laundry, public toilets & showers, library, recreation, and activity spaces, admin offices, gym, etc.
Module Specification (CBC Standard):
Dimensions: 3.0 m (W) × 6.0 m (L) × 2.7 m (H)
Integrated bathroom: Toilet + shower + sink (fully plumbed)
Wall/roof: 50–75 mm rock wool sandwich panels (fire-rated, insulated)

Key Transport Fact: Each standard 40-ft high-cube shipping container can accommodate 16 detachable CBC modules (flat-packed or nested). This significantly reduces ocean freight cost per unit.
2. Camp Layout & Module Allocation
| Function | Occupancy / Capacity | Modules Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Management Housing | 100 single rooms | 100 modules | 1 person/module |
| Worker Housing | 1,000 persons @ 2/person | 500 modules | Bunk beds, 2 per module |
| Dining Hall | 300 seats per shift (3 shifts) | 30 modules | Open-plan layout |
| Central Kitchen | Serving 1,100 meals/shift | 12 modules | Includes storage, prep, cooking |
| Clinic / Mini-Hospital | Basic medical + isolation | 8 modules | Exam, pharmacy, 2-bed ward |
| Laundry Facility | 1,100 users | 6 modules | Industrial machines + folding area |
| Library & Study Area | Expanded capacity | 12 modules | Each 6 modules(×2) |
| Gym & Recreation Center | Cardio, weights, lounge, games | 16 modules | Each 8modules (×2) |
| Security & Reception | Gatehouse + control room | 4 modules | Perimeter entry |
| Admin & Meeting Rooms | Offices, IT, printing | 6 modules | Included in support block |
| Utility / Storage | Cleaning supplies, spare parts | 6 modules | Lockable units |
| TOTAL | 700 modules | All standard detachable container house |
Note: All residential and functional modules include integrated bathrooms-no standalone toilet/shower blocks required, ensuring hygiene and operational simplicity.
3. Budget Estimate (USD)
3.1 Key Logistics Update
Total Modules: 700
Modules per 40-ft HC Container: 16
Required Shipping Containers: 700 ÷ 16 = 43.75 → 44 containers
Ocean Freight Rate (Hangzhou → Jakarta): ~$2,800/container (2026 market avg.)
→ Freight per module: $2,800 ÷ 16 = $175/module (vs. previous $300)
3.2 Cost Breakdown
| Cost Component | Unit Cost | Quantity | Total (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Container Modules (CBC Standard) | $2,000 | 700 | $1,400,000 |
| Ocean Freight (Hangzhou → Jakarta) | $175 | 700 | $122,500 |
| Marine Insurance | 0.8% of FOB | - | $11,200 |
| CIF Value (Modules + Freight + Insurance) | - | - | $1,533,700 |
| Indonesian Import Duties & VAT | ~15% of CIF* | - | $230,055 |
| Port Handling & Customs Clearance | $120/module | 700 | $84,000 |
| Inland Transport (Jakarta → Site) | $220/module (bulk discount) | 700 | $154,000 |
| On-Site Installation & Commissioning | $190/module (efficiency gain) | 700 | $133,000 |
| Site Works (Grading, Roads, Drainage, MEP Tie-ins) | Lump sum | - | $160,000 |
| Contingency (10%) | - | - | $263,781 |
| TOTAL PROJECT BUDGET | $2,558,536 |
Assumptions:
Import duty: 7.5% + VAT: 11% ≈ 15% effective on CIF value
Inland transport reduced due to full-truckload efficiency
Installation cost slightly lower due to standardized layout and volume
Cost per Person Accommodated (1,100 total): ~$2,326
Average Cost per Module (all-in): ~$3,655
4. Advantages of the Detachable Modules
✅ Improved Quality of Life
Double-sized communal facilities (library, gym, recreation) promote mental well-being, reduce fatigue, and support workforce retention-critical in remote mining operations.
Quiet study zones, fitness areas, and social lounges align with modern ESG and occupational health standards.
✅ Optimized Logistics & Cost Savings
High packing density (16 modules/40-ft container) slashes ocean freight by ~42% vs. initial estimate.
Fewer container moves reduce port congestion, demurrage risk, and handling damage.
✅ Operational Resilience
Private bathrooms in every unit eliminate dependency on centralized sanitation-reducing water distribution complexity and outbreak risks.
Modular redundancy allows easy replacement of damaged units without disrupting camp function.
✅ Scalability & Future Use
The camp can be reconfigured post-project into a community center, school, or disaster relief base.
Flat-pack design enables efficient return transport if needed.
✅ Compliance & Sustainability
Meets ISO 9001/14001 factory standards; materials comply with Indonesian SNI for temporary structures.
Reduced carbon footprint due to efficient shipping and minimal on-site construction waste.
✅ Speed of Deployment
Factory production concurrent with site prep → camp ready in 8–10 weeks from order
Modules arrive 90% complete; only MEP connections and leveling required on-site
✅ Superior Living Standards
Every unit has private, lockable bathroom-eliminates queues, improves sanitation, reduces disease risk
Insulated panels ensure thermal comfort in tropical climate (reduces need for AC)
Durable, corrosion-resistant materials suitable for humid, coastal, or jungle environments
✅ Scalability & Flexibility
Modular grid layout allows future expansion or reconfiguration
Units can be relocated or repurposed post-mining (e.g., schools, clinics)
✅ Cost Efficiency
Lower lifecycle cost vs. traditional construction in remote areas
Reduced labor dependency on-site (minimal skilled labor needed)
✅ Compliance & Safety
Meets international standards for fire resistance (EN 13501), structural wind load (up to 120 km/h), and seismic resilience (low-to-moderate zones)
Pre-certified for export; simplifies Indonesian customs process
✅ Sustainability
Steel structure is 95% recyclable
Energy-efficient design lowers operational carbon footprint
5. Conclusion
The customized CBC modular camp plan accommodates 1,100 personnel with enhanced welfare infrastructure at a highly competitive all-in budget of just under $2.56 million. By leveraging the high-density shipping capability (16 units per container), the project achieves significant logistics savings while doubling communal amenities-directly supporting worker morale, productivity, and corporate social responsibility goals. This turnkey, rapidly deployable solution is ideally suited for mining operations in Indonesia and other Southeast Asian regions requiring durable, humane, and cost-effective temporary infrastructure.
