<strong>Structural</strong> <strong>Insulated</strong> <strong>Panels</strong> <strong>are</strong> a <strong>Great</strong> <strong>Solution</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Work</strong> <strong>Camps</strong><br />

Contrary to popular belief, structural insulated panels (SIPs) <strong>are</strong>n’t like modular or prefabricated panels.<br />

In fact, SIPs <strong>are</strong> flexible and versatile, customizable, durable and cost effective. These characteristics <strong>are</strong><br />

especially advantageous when erecting buildings <strong>for</strong> work camps, such as those set up in oil fields. SIPs<br />

<strong>are</strong> customizable and can be designed and shaped to fit the needs of any building. The panels <strong>are</strong> also<br />

designed using 3D computer imaging, which makes the engineering and on-site construction incredibly<br />

accurate. However, superior design and construction flexibility <strong>are</strong>n’t the only reasons why SIPs <strong>are</strong><br />

perfect <strong>for</strong> constructing work camps.<br />

Building with <strong>Structural</strong> <strong>Insulated</strong> <strong>Panels</strong> is Cost Effective<br />

Constructing buildings with SIPs is cost effective, meaning they can save time on construction, labour<br />

and waste removal. There also won’t be a need to purchase extra materials. Additionally, work camp<br />

buildings can be constructed 60 percent faster when using SIPs. This is because the panels <strong>are</strong> precut<br />

and only need to be erected once they reach the worksite. In the end, time savings will add up to make<br />

the project less expensive than projects that use other building materials and methods.<br />

SIPs <strong>are</strong> <strong>Structural</strong>ly Sound<br />

<strong>Structural</strong> insulated panels <strong>are</strong> known to be durable and long-lasting. This means that any buildings<br />

made from these panels will be, as well. SIPs <strong>are</strong> also lightweight, thus easy to handle and install onsite.<br />

Obviously, their light weight isn’t an indication of their strength and durability. However, this strength<br />

and durability becomes app<strong>are</strong>nt after the panels <strong>are</strong> erected and aligned to create a system.<br />

The SIP structural system is seven times stronger than a timber frame system. Plus, the interlocked<br />

panels <strong>are</strong> airtight to keep out moisture, and a polyurethane core and OSB outer boards protect the<br />

structure against pests and other unwelcome invaders. <strong>Structural</strong> insulated panels <strong>for</strong> walls also lend<br />

themselves to excellent insulation and reduce heat loss by up to 60 percent, which will help provide<br />

com<strong>for</strong>table living and working conditions during the coldest months. <strong>Structural</strong> insulated panels <strong>for</strong><br />

roofs <strong>are</strong> also designed to keep the water out, so no leaks or mold.<br />

SIPs Offer Superior Design<br />

SIPs offer intuitive, flexible and customizable design, meaning buildings can be constructed without the<br />

constraints of conventional methods. The panels <strong>are</strong> pre-engineered, cut and designed, reducing<br />

construction time by 60 percent. So, work camps can be constructed quickly and easily, as they should<br />

be. SIPs can be assembled onsite without any special tools and less skilled labour, which saves money<br />

and time. There<strong>for</strong>e, they’re perfect <strong>for</strong> work camps. All that is needed is a clean, dry place <strong>for</strong><br />

construction and a computer <strong>for</strong> the 3D design process.<br />
