Algeco: sustainable and flexible accommodation solutions for infrastructure projects

From temporary construction huts and office units to storage containers and sheds. Algeco offers these and other smart and flexible space solutions. Fully equipped, fully featured and sustainable thanks to solutions from Algeco Eco Solutions and Algeco Solar 360. 

"Making what seems complicated simple: that is our specialty," said Annemiek Glorie, Sales Director Algeco Nederland. "Wherever temporary accommodation and/or storage is required, we come into the picture. In construction, at events, in industry and retail to emergency classrooms in education and temporary offices. Our starting point is simplicity and convenience. Exactly what our units meet. We can place and connect our units in almost any place, at any time and in any way you wish. The convenience lies in the fact that we take care of the complete furnishing, housing and storage. Our customers have nothing to worry about. We have been doing this for 65 years and still our concept is: modular solutions that fit the customer's needs."

Total customized service package

Today, temporary units are equipped with all modern conveniences. To this end, Algeco offers its 360 service. In short, this is a comprehensive package of services that is entirely made to measure, according to the wishes of the client. Algeco offers a wide range of services. Some of the services on offer include furniture, climate control, security masts, portable toilets, generators, data networking systems and AEDs. "Our customers like the fact that they can purchase the complete package from us, in fact we are a one-stop-shop supplier. This saves our customers the time, effort and cost of managing multiple suppliers," said Annemiek.

Making smart use of energy

Sustainability plays a major role at Algeco. The market leader in modular construction is continually improving the sustainability of its services and products. It is also responding to the needs and requirements of the market: reducing energy costs wherever possible and making projects more sustainable. Under the name Algeco Eco Solutions and Algeco Solar, it offers a wide range of possibilities for the intelligent and efficient use of energy. Algeco Eco Solutions offers, amongst other things, sensors and water pump inverters, charging stations, smart building solutions, heat recovery systems with CO2 meters and more, as part of an overall accommodation solution. Algeco Solar is a plug-and-play solution that provides modular buildings with sustainable solar energy. The system consists of a steel roof frame with five photovoltaic panels, providing up to 2,175 watt-peak per unit. Enough to ensure the power supply of standard consumers in a container module, think lighting, air conditioning, network technology, but also PCs, phones and printers. Annemiek: "Thanks to the plug-and-play system, the costs are much lower than when installing traditional solar panels. The system is flexible and scalable, meaning it can be adapted to the specific needs of each project, regardless of size or complexity. In addition, our Algeco Solar is equipped with micro-inverters and a communication gateway. This allows the electricity production and self-sufficiency of the container building to be monitored at any time via WLAN access on a mobile device. This solution is particularly suitable for large infrastructure projects, where energy demand is often high and where sustainability is becoming increasingly central."

Temporary housing: taken care of from a to z

What if extra space is needed on the construction site tomorrow? Or the office unit is needed for longer than anticipated? No problem at Algeco. Algeco Express delivers the units (canteen, changing room, office or work unit), storage containers and vans the next working day. We can even provide you with basic furniture to get you up and running in no time. "Our service goes a long way. Whether it is a large or small project; we always work closely with our customers to devise and design cost-effective and flexible solutions. Every project is supervised by one of our project managers who is also the point of contact. We arrange transportation, placement and furnishing of our units, and units that are in use for a longer period of time can be taken care of by our Algeco service teams from cleaning to maintenance," Annemiek concluded.
