/ Remote Sites

Improving Quality of Life around the world

For 45 years, Sodexo has been supporting those who live and work in extreme conditions, often in isolated locations. Sodexo has developed service solutions for remote sites to meet our clients’ needs for comfort, safety and well being at each stage of their projects.

Camp design and construction

Remote sites have the unique purpose of simultaneously providing a living and working environment, whether short-term or for several decades. They must be functional, comfortable, adaptable and environmentally friendly, regardless of location or climate.

 

From design to site restitution

A world leader in the Remote Sites business segment, Sodexo has unrivaled experience in designing and building camps to receive hundreds of employees in remote areas, often under harsh conditions.

From Sakhalin Island to the Andes Mountains and Australia, our building experts roll out highly innovative solutions and services tailored to clients’ specific requirements. We work with each of our oil, mining, engineering and military clients from the earliest stages of their project to help anticipate future challenges with site dismantling and restitution.

Camp construction

When a major oil industry company decided to roll out a large liquefied natural gas project in Indonesia in a region lacking even basic infrastructure, Sodexo took charge of building a number of camps to accommodate several hundred people. Surrounded by jungle and mangrove swamps in areas prone to seismic activity, the camps were constructed according to the client’s demanding quality standards in record time, allowing the project management to move forward on schedule.

Facilities Management

Clients benefit from our teams’ genuine expertise which spans complex camp logistics and upkeep, maintenance and waste management and mail delivery, at a variety of sites including oil rigs in Brazil, hotel barges in the Congo and mines in the steppes of Kazakhstan.

 

Out-of-the ordinary services

Since 1966, Sodexo has developed unique experience in facilities management services at remote sites.
We have unrivaled experience in delivering essential services under extreme conditions - housing and transportation for personnel and visitors, camp maintenance, supply management, fire safety, air conditioning and electrical repairs - that require technical know-how and solid logistical resources. We cover all of our clients’ day-to-day needs and go beyond to meet out-of-the ordinary requirements with tailor-made solutions.

Partner of a huge gas complex in Qatar

Sodexo was selected by the Veolia-Saipem-Al-Jaber consortium in Qatar to provide services for the Pearl GTL (Gas To Liquids) project. We deliver facilities management solutions at this GTL complex – one of the world’s largest, where 2,250 people live and work every day.

Waste management

Waste management is a major challenge today. This is especially true for large companies operating in ecologically-sensitive remote locations on and offshore.

 

Salvage, sort, remove and recycle

Sodexo has proven expertise in the day-to-day management of household and technical waste at remote sites.
Our solutions go beyond mere salvage operations to encompass the entire waste management chain, offering sorting and recycling processes and setting up tailor-made logistical flows for clients with several sites. We provide turnkey solutions for all types of waste, no matter how hazardous, guaranteeing safety levels for both camp residents and the environment.

Exemplary action

For FWW (JV Foster Wheeler and Worley Parsons) in Australia, Sodexo took up the challenge of managing waste at a camp housing more than 2,000 people.
Our solution provided a sustainable alternative to landfill practices by developing a system to recycle waste from resident accommodations and our own kitchens. We recycled more than 71 tons of waste in the first year.
All proceeds from the sale of recyclable materials were used to finance children’s health care. Sodexo even designed a small production unit to convert used cooking oil into biodiesel to fuel site vehicles. In 2009, our Resource Recovery Program in Australia received the prestigious “Golden Gecko Award” from the Australian Ministry of the Environment.
