Armoda 20-foot Modules: Compliant and Versatile

Companies across offshore industries use 20-foot modules to provide supplemental accommodations and workspace for installations and vessels. As a leading manufacturer of modular structures, Armoda has supplied 20-foot modular structures for use in the oil and gas, maritime, defense and renewable energy industries. This article will cover how our fleet of certified workforce accommodations, offices, labs, and workshops provide a compliant and versatile solution for anyone looking to add to their existing infrastructure. 

Globally Compliant 20-Foot Modules

For a module to be deployed to operate on an offshore installation or vessel, it needs to have different certifications. What certification is required for a project is based on the type of unit the module is and whose jurisdiction the unit will be operating in. Each unit in Armoda’s fleet of 20-foot portable accommodation modules and workspaces has obtained type approvals and certification from the major governing bodies around the world. Certifications enable these units to be deployed to projects taking place around the globe. These are the most common offshore module certifications: 

• ABS
• USCG
• DNV 2.7-1
• DNV 2.7-2
• A60
• IMO/SOLAS

In addition to these standard certifications, the modules also possess the Convention for Container Safety (CSC) certification. This certification ensures the modules meet safety requirements, tests, and dimensions. Like a typical 20-foot container, the modules are certified to be transported by meeting these dimensions and passing these requirements. The units can then be transported using conventional methods for standardized containers rather than being classed as break bulk shipments. This reduces transportation costs and allows these modules to be stacked using the standard ISO corner castings. These features allow the modules to be quickly deployed for global operations.  

20-Foot Modules Are Versatile

Armoda's 20-foot modules are the most versatile units in our fleet. Sized at 20'L x 8'W x 9.5'H, they are ideal for many offshore and onshore applications. These units can be customized as portable accommodation modules for living quarters, offices, workshops, and custom units, providing flexible solutions while maximizing efficiency. 

Portable Accommodation Modules (PAM), Office, Workshop, and Custom Modules 

Portable Accommodation Modules

The Armoda 20-foot Accommodation module is a versatile unit with a flexible layout to meet the project's needs. Depending on the facility requirements, the unit can be configured for single occupancy to provide more space and privacy per person, or the module can be outfitted to accommodate up to four personnel per cabin. Certification requirements per project will dictate the required square footage per person. It includes an en-suite wet room providing a shower, toilet, and sink. Depending on the sleeping configuration, additional desk areas can be set up within the unit. Fully redundant HVAC units ensure that the unit can operate in harsh environments, providing safe and comfortable conditions for the occupants. 

Auxiliary Modules

In addition to accommodation modules, Armoda’s fleet of 20’ modules includes a wide array of layouts to accommodate any need. These include galleys, diners, offices, rec rooms, gyms, laundries, etc. These modules are ideal for addressing the specific needs of a location, while taking up less deck space. Armoda can also customize the layout to the customer’s specifications to ensure it meets the needs of that location. For example, modules have been set up as diner or rec rooms, divided into an area with tables and chairs for eating and an area with a TV and couch for relaxing. 

Office & Workshops

The Armoda 20-foot fleet offers solutions for offices and workshop modules that can be used for general purpose or safe area applications, as well as options for hazardous area requirements. These fleet modules are fully furnished with workstations, desks, and storage. They can be customized to include computer racks, sinks, fume hoods, and other project-specific equipment needs. Designed to endure the harshest environments, these cabins provide flexible, comfortable, and reliable solutions for diverse project needs. They feature redundant HVAC units and convenient 'plug and play' utility connections that ensure optimal performance and ease of use. This adaptability makes them ideal for various functions such as MWD cabins, labs, mudlogging, control rooms, ROVs, testing, and workshops. The Zone 1 rated optionwith.       asldj;sdljf;sdjf;sldfjs are built for the most hazardous areas and carry DNV 2.7-1 and DNV 2.7-2 certifications with ATEX/IECEx-compliant equipment housed within.

Stack and Link

The 20-foot modules have been designed and manufactured to stack on top of one another. This ability greatly increases the number of units that can be utilized in a given footprint. For projects with limited deck space, stacking is the ideal solution for adding additional accommodation, office and workshop modules. Armoda can provide all the stairways and platforms for movement up to and between the stacked modules. In addition to being stackable, the modules can be internally linked together, allowing personnel to move from one unit to another without having to exit the modules. This is a welcome feature when the modules are operating in harsh environments. 

With global compliance and versatility, Armoda's 20-foot modules are an ideal choice for a wide range of applications. With certifications from the major governing bodies, these modules are ready to be deployed to projects around the globe. Their ability to meet stringent safety requirements and dimensions ensures easy transportation and deployment without special approval. The versatility of these units allows them to be deployed for various uses, such as portable accommodation modules, offices, workshops, and more. This adaptability, combined with their stackable and linkable design, makes Armoda's 20-foot modules an asset in both offshore and onshore applications. To find out more, contact us today.
