Turkish prefabricated building company Karmod has completed the installation of a container office building at the site of Türkiye’s Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) project in southern city of Mersin, company said in a statement on Wednesday.

The company said the office will be used by the Russian AAEM Turbine company, which is overseeing the installation of steam turbines at the facility.

Karmod Container Sales Manager Ozay Kemal Karakucuk said the company has been providing construction and office buildings at the site since the start of the project.

“Our pre-manufactured building system offers significant advantages for additional structures at large project sites like Akkuyu,” Karakucuk said.

“We can complete installations quietly and without disrupting the construction environment.”

Karakucuk highlighted the rapid installation advantages of Karmod’s new generation container models, which use bolt-together assembly instead of welding.

“We made the two-story, 84-square-meter container office ready for use in just three days, including the roof covering,” he said.

He added that Karmod’s container structures stand out for their ergonomic use.

“We have improved the safety of our structures with reinforced metal thickness and floor support,” he said. “Our special sealing application at metal sandwich panel joints provides top-level climate control.”

The container office project at Akkuyu also included interior furnishings and equipment supplied by Karmod, such as cabinets, desks, chairs, and air conditioning units, Karakucuk said.

“The office building is now being used by a team of engineers from the AAEM Turbine company,” he said.
