Remote Construction Camps
Complete camps for mining, energy and infrastructure projects, designed, built and run by one team across East Africa.
Built for remote and harsh environments.
ISM Engineering is East Africa's leading modular company, delivering innovative building solutions that combine speed, precision and sustainability. By leveraging advanced design tools and offsite manufacturing, we produce high-quality modules that integrate seamlessly into complete structures, reducing project timelines and minimising onsite disruption.
Our modular approach ensures consistent quality control, cost efficiency and scalability, making it the ideal choice for remote projects.
Prefabricated modules are produced in controlled factory environments and transported to site for rapid assembly. This cuts construction time by up to 50% compared to traditional methods while drastically reducing the need for on-site labour, an essential factor in locations where skilled workers are scarce or conditions are severe.
ISM Engineering has partnered with numerous Tier 1 extraction and remote operators across 10 countries in the region, including Total, MSL, Siemens, Base Titanium, Tullow, Kipeto Energy, Mayleen, Ormat and Sterling & Wilson.
One partner, from groundworks to day-to-day operation.
We build the camp, power it, secure it and run it, so your team can focus on the project.
