Project Background

Chengdong successfully delivered the modular camp project for the Velana International Airport reconstruction and expansion in the Maldives. Covering 15,600 square meters with a 6,800 square meter construction area, the camp accommodates Chinese and international personnel for 3–5 years with safe, durable, and environmentally-friendly modular structures.

Modular Housing Solutions and Product Highlights

Chengdong implemented double-layered ZA and ZM barracks, chosen for their:

Durability and Reliability: Resistant to moisture, corrosion, and long-term wear, ideal for tropical climates.

Thermal and Sound Insulation: Sandwich color steel plates ensure effective temperature control and noise reduction.

Foundation and Flooring Technology: 200mm C20 concrete foundation, backfilled with soil and coral sand, topped with 100mm C15 fine stone concrete and indoor tiles for stability and cost efficiency.

Prefabrication and Rapid Assembly: Modules are factory-built, including plumbing, electrical wiring, and interior finishes, enabling quick on-site deployment.

Additional Chengdong modular solutions include:

Light Steel Warehouses (510 m²): Flexible storage with durable steel framework.

Office Building (1,038 m²) and Dormitories (852 m²): Fully equipped living and working spaces.

Medical Office and Activity Rooms (220 m²): For staff health and wellness.

Kitchen and Canteen Facilities (273 m²): Separate dining areas for Chinese, foreign, general contractor, and subcontractor staff.

Sports and Recreation: Basketball courts, badminton courts, gymnasiums, billiard halls, libraries, and English corners.

Green Landscaping: Local vegetation, rockery features, and scenic layouts enhance the environment.

Road Network and Logistics: 4m wide ring-shaped roads with strategically placed material areas facilitate transportation and workflow.

Security and Site Management

Guard and Access Control: 24-hour guard booths, stainless steel retractable gates, entry/exit registration, integrated with Maldives airport monitoring systems.

Temporary Safety Enclosure: PVC fencing with warning tape ensures safety during construction.

Monitoring and Hygiene: Daily cleaning of canteens, disinfection cabinets in restaurants, and a security monitoring system.
