Construction trailer
|
Construction trailers are mobile structures used to accommodate temporary offices, dining facilities and storage of building materials during construction projects.
[edit] Hook-ups
Typically, trailers need to be equipped with telephone lines and electrical power. Lavatories are usually provided for separately. They are often skid-mounted, on trailers, or put on piles. Construction trailers are often manufactured using traditional stick-frame construction. Intermodal containers are also being converted into construction trailers.
[edit] Permits
Municipalities can require the use of construction trailers to be subject to permit proceedings. The City of Fremont, California, for example, publishes its permit requirements on its municipal website.[1]
[edit] Transport
- Construction trailers are ordinarily moved by heavy trucks but may also be moved by rail.
[edit] Germany
There are people in Germany who live in trailers of this type, and in German there is a word for a congregation of these trailers, Bauwagenplatz.
[edit] Norway
In 2008 Norwegian media reported that two construction sites (of Byggmester Harald Langemyhr AS) had been housing Polish workers in constructiction trailers — 4 workers in each.[2]
