Integrated redeployable camp solutions provider Weatherhaven RCS is focused on supplying major, junior and exploration mining companies with military base solutions in the form of its shelters for mine-site accommodation.

According to Weatherhaven RCS, its products are designed to be redeployed, making them ideal for easy relocation during the stressed economic climate.

The company recently sold a 150-man camp to a client in Zambia that requested the camp be upgraded, to a 200-man camp. According to Weatherhaven RCS, it was able to accommodate the upgrade owing to the flexibility of the products in its range.

Other mine-site accommodation projects the company has been involved in comprise the supply of ten specially designed ten-person fly or temporary camps that are ideal for manual relocation.

The camp comprised three fully equipped soft-walled shelters that included dormitory- style air-conditioned sleeping units, an air-conditioned diner and an ablution facility with showers and toilets, as well as wash basins.

The fly camp’s infrastructure support included internal and external water sewage and electrical reticulation, a water-purification plant using reverse osmosis and a biological sewage treatment plant.

Synchronised silent generators and lightning protection completed the camp.

Weatherhaven RCS’s shelters and containerised solutions are manufactured at canvas-related products supplier Canvas & Tent’s manufacturing facility in Ladysmith, KwaZulu-Natal.

In 2015, Weatherhaven RCS received ISO 14001 accreditation and Canvas & Tent Manufacturing was the Department of Trade and Industry’s Exporter of the Year at its premier business awards function.

The Canvas & Tent group comprises bushtech aluminium manufacturer Bushtec Safari and Bushtech Adventure, as well as tents and outdoor equipment supplier Tents Direct.
