Frequently Asked Questions

Mining dongas are transportable buildings built for tough conditions. Designed for fast setup and easy relocation, they’re commonly used as accommodation or office space on remote mining sites.

Made to withstand the harshest environments, these modular units offer a reliable, no-fuss solution where permanent structures aren’t practical.

Our portable mining buildings are a smart, reliable choice for remote worksites. Key benefits include:

  • Portability and Flexibility: Easily transported and set up, dongas can be expanded, reduced, or reconfigured as project needs change.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: More affordable than permanent structures—especially in remote areas where building costs are high. They’re quick to install, helping you avoid delays and reduce labour expenses.
  • Durability: Built tough for Australian conditions, including cyclonic weather. Steel cladding and quality materials ensure long-term performance with minimal maintenance.
  • Customisation: Can be tailored to suit your needs—from basic sleeping quarters to units with kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, and communal areas. This improves comfort and supports productivity on site.

Portable buildings are used across mining sites to support daily operations and workforce needs. Common applications include:

  • Workers’ accommodation – Single or shared units built for comfort in remote conditions.
  • Portable offices – Site offices for supervisors, admin teams, and contractors.
  • Commercial kitchens – Fully equipped cooking and meal prep facilities.
  • Laundry blocks – Essential cleaning stations for long-term crews.
  • Ablution units – Toilets, showers, and disability-accessible bathrooms.
  • First aid rooms and medical posts – For onsite safety and compliance.
  • Training rooms and breakout spaces – Flexible areas for inductions or downtime.

 

The mining portable buildings are moved either by HIAB or tilt-tray trucks. There should be adequate room (approx 3.6m) for a truck to be able to reverse toward the site pad and turn if necessary – then they can be easily slid off or craned into position.

 Yes. Our dongas are designed for rapid deployment. They’re easy to transport and install, making them ideal for operations that shift from site to site.

Their modular design also means they can be expanded, reduced, or reconfigured as project needs change.

Yes – a transport fee will be payable at the time of delivery. These will vary depending on pickup and drop off locations.

An electrician will be required to do this. This tradesman should be ticketed and qualified. Costs will vary from site to site and a quote should be obtained prior to the demountable arriving.

Water can be connected using a standard hose fitting.

The waste water from the kitchen, shower and toilet all exits through a 100mm waste pipe. You may choose to connect this to existing septics or a soak-well. All sites have different options available depending on their circumstances so a quote should be obtained prior to the transportable arriving.

Although Aussie Demountables operate from Western Australia, our buildings can be delivered anywhere Australia-wide.

Yes – we can build to any size and can configure the internal fittings to suit your purpose.
