RM Rail starts production of accommodation modules

RM Rail announces starting production of block-frame accommodation modules (AM). The new product type will be manufactured by Abakanvagonmash.

RM Rail Abakanvagonmash has expanded its product mix by adding a new type of product: the plant has launched production of block-frame accommodation modules that can be used as mobile offices, outdoor concession stands and living quarters.

Conventionally, such structures are used for fast erection of military and mineral exploration townships, summer stations and drilling camps, as well as for accommodation of mobile offices and concession stands in a limited area.

Block-frame accommodation module has insulated upper and lower frames. The walls are made of interchangeable sandwich panels using polyurethane foam or basalt mineral slabs, they are able to withstand temperatures from -60°C to +60°C.

Modules can be produced in the form of booths with display glazing, roller blinds, with the possibility of multi-storey articulation. Accessories include entrance or interior doors, PVC or aluminum casing insulated glass units, utility and ventilation outlets. Bolted connections of the main elements provide repeated assembly/disassembly of the modular building structures and their transportation to a new location. Modules can be installed in blocks.

The modules are fabricated in automatic mode, ensuring dimensional accuracy and high productivity. The plant capacity is rated for production of customized product in any order quantity.

Vasiliy Miroshin, Managing Director, Abakanvagonmash:

- Our plant was historically dealing with production of containers, and this very base has made it possible to develop production of the joint product on a “turn-key” basis - from steel structures to finished accommodation modules. Our processes were refined on sophisticated container models, therefore we guarantee high quality of welded joints, painting, profiling. Today we are ready to supply this product in almost any order quantity.

Andrey Vodopyanov, RM Rail Deputy General Director:

- We use our block-frame accommodation modules internally, at RM Rail locations - they are on par with European counterparts. The company provides a full cycle of manufacturing - from development of design documentation to installation on customer’s site. In case of repair, there is no need to search for components - everything is made in Russia. Such support is especially important in construction of military and mineral exploration townships, drilling camps. The key thing is that we are able to adapt production to any business needs of our customers.
