Fleet-ready planning
Model 5-50+ unit scenarios with bed-capacity outputs before procurement lock-in.
B2B Product PageReviewed March 2, 2026
Mining Camps Deployment Planner
Plan remote camp rollout with a lease-vs-own view you can defend in procurement review. Model fleet capacity, annual replacement value, payback timing, and redeployment assumptions before contract lock-in.
Pain the page solves
- Project schedules slip when crews are mobilized before accommodation is ready.
- Short-term donga hire can erode project margin during long roster cycles.
- Camp welfare and facilities obligations create approval risk when assumptions are unclear.
Lease-vs-own clarity
Translate lease benchmarks and ownership assumptions into payback and two-year savings.
Compliance boundary visibility
Separate operational planning from regulator-specific obligations and legal outcomes.

Assumptions and limitations
- This planner is decision support only and does not guarantee approvals, legal outcomes, or workforce performance.
- Camp standards, facilities obligations, and employment conditions vary by jurisdiction, site, and workforce arrangement.
- Validate assumptions with local regulators, certifier/HSE teams, and project-specific procurement terms before commitment.
Compliance boundary check
Use this section to frame compliance risk and due diligence. It does not replace legal, regulator, or HSE advice.
- Safe Work Australia model code requires suitable work environment and facilities controls, including remote/isolated work context.
- FIFO workplace mental-health controls and roster-risk management vary by jurisdiction and employer arrangements.
- Mining and construction camp health, sanitation, and amenity standards require site- and regulator-specific validation.
- This page is planning guidance only and does not guarantee approvals, legal outcomes, or worker-retention performance.

How this page works
- 1. Set unit count, beds-per-unit, and active roster weeks.
- 2. Enter lease benchmark and ownership costs for landed + site setup.
- 3. Run the scenario to compare annual replacement value, payback, and two-year outcomes.
- 4. Use the fleet quote CTA with your assumptions for a deployment review.
Frequently asked questions
Does this page guarantee camp approval outcomes?
No. It is a planning tool. Final camp and accommodation outcomes depend on regulator interpretation, site conditions, and project-specific controls.
Can this model replace procurement and legal review?
No. It supports early commercial decisions only. Procurement, legal, and HSE teams should validate all project assumptions before commitments.
Why include residual value in the model?
Remote accommodation is often redeployed between projects. Residual-value assumptions help compare ownership versus lease over a practical campaign horizon.
Can we run staged deployment across project phases?
Yes. Run multiple scenarios for startup, ramp, and steady-state demand to evaluate phased fleet sizing.
