1. Common Defects of Traditional On-Site Worker Accommodation

Traditional temporary worker dormitories adopted by most engineering projects have prominent inherent defects in structural safety, living comfort, sanitary conditions, and service durability. These shortcomings not only reduce workers’ quality of life but also bring multiple hidden troubles to project operation and team management, which can no longer adapt to modern standardized engineering construction requirements.

1.1 Insufficient Structural Safety and Poor Weather Resistance

Most traditional on-site dormitories are built with simple color steel plates and thin welded steel frames, lacking standardized structural design and professional anti-corrosion treatment. The overall structural rigidity is weak, with insufficient wind resistance, seismic resistance, and snow load capacity. In extreme weather such as strong winds, heavy rain, thunderstorms, and blizzards, crude temporary dormitories are prone to frame deformation, roof leakage, wall collapse, and other safety accidents, seriously threatening workers’ personal safety. In addition, the unprotected steel structures are easy to rust and age after short-term outdoor exposure, resulting in loose components and reduced structural stability. The irregular construction process also leads to uneven overall quality, making it impossible to form stable and reliable long-term living space.

1.2 Cramped Space and Extremely Low Living Comfort

To save costs, traditional temporary dormitories usually adopt dense and crowded layout, with excessive workers living in a limited space. The indoor space is cramped and disorderly, lacking independent storage areas and activity spaces. The simple enclosure structure has no professional thermal insulation and sound insulation design, resulting in obvious problems of hot summer and cold winter. In high-temperature seasons, the indoor temperature rises sharply, stuffy and airless; in cold seasons, heat loss is fast, unable to provide warm living conditions. Meanwhile, poor sound insulation cannot isolate external construction noise, making it difficult for workers to get effective rest after high-intensity work, seriously affecting physical recovery and work status.

1.3 Poor Sanitary Conditions and Hidden Health Risks

Traditional makeshift dormitories have imperfect sealing performance and unreasonable internal functional layout. The ground and wall gaps are easy to accumulate dust, rainwater, and sundries, leading to damp and moldy indoor environment. The lack of standardized ventilation and drainage systems results in poor air circulation, easy breeding of bacteria, mosquitoes, and mites, which may cause the spread of influenza and skin diseases among workers. In addition, most traditional dormitories lack matching independent washing and toilet facilities, resulting in concentrated and messy living areas, difficult daily cleaning and management, and long-term existence of sanitary dead ends, bringing hidden health risks to the workforce.

1.4 Disposable Use Causes Serious Resource Waste

Traditional on-site temporary dormitories are mostly fixed welded structures or simple assembled buildings without disassembly and transfer value. After the completion of engineering projects, most dormitories can only be demolished and discarded, producing a large amount of construction waste and causing serious resource waste. For enterprises with multi-site project layout, repeated construction of temporary dormitories greatly increases project auxiliary costs, with low asset utilization rate and poor long-term economic benefits. At the same time, frequent demolition and reconstruction also affect the ecological environment of the construction site, which is not in line with the current green construction development concept.
