Clinics

Through our colleagues at medekit Frontier Medical is able to supply our own fully operational clinics, using transportable structures, tailor-designed to house a fully-equipped remote site medical unit.

These transportable clinics are widely used within the oil and gas industry and are effective in any climate and location. To withstand colder climates the buildings are equipped with high-quality insulation and heaters, in warmer climates air-conditioning systems are used. The units are low maintenance, durable, can cope with extreme weather conditions and have an expected life span in excess of 20 years.

The buildings are structured on ISO standard size containers and can be shipped and relocated any where in the world. The units can be transported by lorry and 'skid mounted'(dragged into place) without the need for any specialised lifting equipment.

The buildings can be custom designed and equipped with a tailored specification depending on each set of circumstances. Fully constructed units with furnishings can be provided as well as toilets, showers, baths and sinks already in place.

Each unit is designed to meet the individual requirements of each client. Lead-time and delivery options are calculated on a case-to-case basis with average manufacturing time currently 45 days.
