Halliburton's Housing -- Photographs

Back on April 14, 2010, I posted a story about Halliburton moving some portable housing that was used at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics down to their industrial park east of Williston.

I was finally able to take some photographs of the complex.

From the press release:

"...the complex will be placed at an industrial park in Williston, on about six acres of land that the company bought from the city for about $160,000.

The company said in a statement that the 158-bedroom camp would include kitchen, dining, recreation and office areas.

"The camp was used at this year's Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, and will be demobilized and transported to Williston,'' the company's statement said."

If you click on the top picture and zoom in on the sign you will see that the name of this "lodge" is the Halliburton Muddy River Lodge.

If you zoom in on the bottom picture, you will see that these are "container modules" used to transport cargo on dry goods container ships, which can be transferred directly to tractor-trailers and hauled cross-country.

To put this in perspective, this lodge is apparently 158-beds, according to the press release.

In a story published yesterday, a developer will bring in 2,500 beds for a man-camp near Tioga. The project will be accomplished in four phases, each phase with 67 buildings. Each building will hold about 10 beds, if I did the math right. (4 x 67 = 268 buildings; 2,500/268 --> 9 beds, to be exact).
