9 Syria The length of the SyriAN conflict is taking a toll ON the refugee camps On the border between Turkey and Syria, several large refugee camps were set up as early as the start of the conflict between the government forces and the Syrian opposition. The camps are now in bad condition as a result of the long-term conflict, as they are mostly equipped with tents. There is a high crime rate, and they are in need of humanitarian aid, water as well as healthcare services. A possible solution would be to build up a temporary complex comprised of residential modules, which compared to the current situation would provide a high level of comfort, a central infirmary, water and sanitary stations, as well as administrative space for humanitarian organizations. 7 k o m a s p a c e

10 Shelter In many places around the world we see massive migrations of people whose lives are in danger; they have lost their homes to natural disasters, are suffering from a lack of food, or are stricken by poverty. Refugees first find refuge in tent camps; however, these are not suitable for stays exceeding several months. That is why KOMA Space offers temporary humanitarian camps built using the SmartSpacePack system, which allows for more long-term housing in relatively high comfort and safety. The residential units and other buildings from the SmartSpacePack are usually complemented by sanitary stations a source of drinking water, restrooms and laundry rooms. 8 k o m a s h e lt e r

11 A camp for 500 families = 500 residential units + 5 SANitary stations = 12 weeks The unique SmartSpacePack allows a housing unit, school, simple administrative building or hospital to be built using one s own hands, without the need for any heavy machinery, just by following a set of instructions. Thanks to special logistics, the modules are transported to the site disassembled. DesiGN The first step is to define the particular need, i.e. the number of people or families, based on which the number of residential units is determined. An adequate number of sanitary stations or other buildings such as schools, administrative or health care facilities are then added. In the preparatory phase, the KOMA project team proposes an urbanistic design for the camp. Logistics The SmartSpacePack system uses top-of-the-line logistics. Four modules are transported in one pack, and this pack is typically shipped with other packs with tools in a larger package the HIGH CUBE shipping container, which can hold 16 residential units, a small school, an administrative building or an infirmary. The Logistics department creates a schedule for the delivery of the camp, the transportation and distribution of the packs. ConstructiON The SmartSpacePack is based on the construction of light-weight modules that can be assembled according to an instruction manual even without the use of heavy construction equipment. The construction of a large unit can be finished in just days. The system was developed so that its construction would take place with the active involvement of the refugees.

13 Chile Chile stricken by ANOther powerful earthquake The Republic of Chile regularly suffers from high-magnitude earthquakes. In 2012 alone there were several quakes exceeding mark 6 on the Richter scale. This results in the need to find a construction solution which would ensure safety during the education of preschoolers and schoolchildren. The KOMA system is an ideal solution for school buildings. The system was used in 2009 after the devastating earthquake in the city of L Aquila, Italy, where the KOMA company built a school with 22 classrooms. 1 1 k o m a s p a c e

14 Disaster Any natural disaster presents an extreme interference with the lives of the affected population, who first of all need humanitarian, medical and other kinds of aid. These people look for ways to return to a normal life again. In such situations, KOMA Space offers an immediate solution. School buildings in high-risk areas must meet strict criteria in terms of static stability and resilience, fire protection, but also hygiene and acoustic standards. 1 2 k o m a d i s a s t e r

15 1 school = 22 classrooms = 7 weeks = 1 st school day The KOMA Space system is not merely a building; it is a series of activities, a unique system, which in a designated place can erect a construction based on pre-determined criteria, in high quality, and 90% finished. Thanks to the KOMA Space system, the school with twenty-two classrooms can start to serve its purpose within 7 weeks of the project s definition. DesiGN First of all, the KOMA designer team needs the definition of the project the expected size and location of the construction site, the type of landscape, the number of classrooms, etc. Other specific requirements that affect the type of construction used and its layout include fire protection, sanitary requirements, impact resistance, etc. Based on these requirements, KOMA designers propose an ideal solution for evaluation. Logistics Logistics is the key element in the KOMA Space system. Already in the preparatory phase, i.e. at the time of the project s planning, the intralogistics, which ensures flawless, efficient and precise production, is key. ProductiON Following its approval, the project enters the production stage. We do not offer pre-manufactured modules, because the KOMA Space system is based on an individual solution and approach in order to meet each customer s individual criteria. Ninety percent of the entire construction is completed in the production hall. Logistics During the production stage, the key element of the KOMA Space system, the Logistics department figures out the mode of transport, the placement of the construction on the designated site, including connections to the technical infrastructure available. After the production stage, the construction is delivered on schedule to the agreed location, either in a flatpack version, or as finished modules. KOMA Disaster System FinishiNG works The KOMA Space system makes it possible to finish the construction without the assistance or supervision of the KOMA realization team; however, the KOMA team can carry out the entire assembly upon the client s request. 1 3 k o m a s p a c e

17 Somalia SOMAlia stricken by recurring famine since the 1990s The civil war in Somalia, which has lasted for more than 20 years, has caused a number of humanitarian crises, the most significant of which is the recurring famine. The humanitarian organizations operating in this area are in a difficult position; however, they are looking for ways to distribute medical and humanitarian aid. Under the protection of African Union troops, one of the possibilities is to build hospitals and places intended for the distribution of humanitarian aid using a system of modular construction. Such buildings can be easily moved, yet they provide much needed safety. 1 5 k o m a s p a c e

18 Help Sub-Saharan Africa is known as an area affected by extreme poverty. The local inhabitants often suffer from diseases, starvation and conflicts. These people frequently seek the help of international non-profit humanitarian organizations. That is why the portfolio of the KOMA Space system also includes humanitarian stations built using the SmartSpacePack system, which makes them easy to transport and assemble in just days without the need for heavy machinery. 1 6 k o m a h e l p

19 1 infirmary + 1 warehouse + 1 humanitarian aid distribution point = 1 humanitarian station = 4 weeks The SmartSpacePack is a unique system mainly thanks to the possibility of quick construction without the use of any heavy construction equipment. In adverse conditions, this is a crucial feature. The light-weight and practical modules in packs ensure problem-free transport even to poorly accessible areas. DefiniNG the needs First of all, it is necessary to define the requirements. Based on the definition of the needs, the KOMA designer team proposes the design of the humanitarian station the size of the infirmary, with or without temporary housing capacity, warehouse and other facilities. The project design then requires a certain number of modules and a recommendation as to how to make the set of buildings operational. Logistics The SmartSpacePack system is dependent on logistics, especially in the case of poorly accessible or high-risk areas. As soon as the designer team determines the number of modules, KOMA logisticians, in close cooperation with international organizations, plan the optimum way of packing and transportation so that the complete modules can safely get to the designated place. KOMA Disaster System ConstructiON The SmartSpacePack enables simple construction according to an instruction manual. Moreover, KOMA Space organizes training sessions for international humanitarian organizations, at which their workers have the possibility to learn and practice the construction of their future humanitarian station. 1 7 k o m a s p a c e

21 Mexico Employment information offices along the USA-Mexico BOrder To solve the problem of illegal immigration from Mexico, the Unites States have built a closely guarded fence. Non-profit organizations are trying to mitigate this solution, considered inhumane by some, by providing information on the possibility of getting work permits for those who are interested in working legally in the United States. A temporary building on the USA-Mexico border could serve as a facility for the border patrol together with an NGO, which could give advice on how to find legal jobs in the United States. 1 9 k o m a s p a c e

22 Frontier The purpose of the fence along the USA-Mexico border is to prevent people in search of illegal employment in the Unites States from crossing the border. Apart from using such repressive steps, this objective can be achieved by preventative measures providing information on the possibility of legal employment. For this purpose, it would be possible to use the variable KOMA Space system, which can be used in the construction of combined buildings in this particular case a police station and an information center in one. 2 0 k o m a f r o n t i e r

23 1 combined building = 2 administrative rooms = 1 public space = 1 room for temporary accommodation = 2 restrooms = 4 weeks The modular KOMA Space system is attractive mainly because of its variability and quick construction, which does not pose any burden for the surrounding area. Moreover, the possibility of anchoring the KOMA building on ground screws allows a virtually unlimited choice of construction lot. Close collaboration with architects then leads to the creation of an original design for the building. Architectural design The first step in any project is to define the function of the building. In cooperation with the client, the KOMA architectural team ensures the efficient use of space and focuses not only on the layout, but also the overall effect and appearance of the building. The wide choice in the selection of facade type, the arrangement of modules, but also the individual architectural approach will ensure that the resulting structure meets the complex individual requirements of the building. ProductiON ANd logistics Following approval of the project design, the production phase starts. The production of the buildings, which takes place in a production hall, uses cutting-edge technology and focuses on every little detail. After thorough logistical preparations, the completed modules are delivered according to a time schedule to the designated location, where the koma assembly team either directly carries out the actual construction or provides supervision. ConstructiON The modular construction of the KOMA system is designed to be superfast. By construction we mean only setting the modules in place, their connection and finishing works. A building consisting of 6 modules can be fully operational within a week of delivery of the modules. This means the building can potentially be relocated; it is a mobile solution.

25 Siberia SiberiAN Republic of Buryatia is considering the construction of MOdular hospitals Representatives from the Republic of Buryatia, which is part of the Russian Federation, visited KOMA Space to negotiate the project of constructing modular hospitals so that health care will be accessible even to residents living in remote areas. The project, which starts off with roughly five hospitals, could be realized using the KOMA Space system, mainly thanks to its flexibility and precision. Our Buryatian guests see the investment in modular hospitals as an efficient utilization of financial subsidies. 2 3 k o m a s p a c e

26 East In the Russian Federation, there are long distances between villages and cities. Mainly in the Asian part of the country, this means extremely difficult access for example to health care. This problem is most noticeable in Siberia, e.g. in the Republic of Buryatia. That is why KOMA Space has created a project for a network of modular hospitals, which could be located in such a way as to be available even for people living in poorly accessible areas. 2 4 k o m a e a s t

27 1 hospital + 1 pharmacy = 8 weeks The KOMA Space modular construction is practical, flexible and efficient, which allows it to be used for just about any building anywhere in the world. Thanks to its prefabrication, the KOMA Space system allows the construction to be adapted to any requirements and delivered to the designated location virtually as a finished building. DesiGN The first step in creating any building constructed in the KOMA Space system is to define its future functionality. This is followed by the preparation of its design, which among other things takes into consideration the climatic conditions and sanitation standards. When designing the modules, KOMA designers take into account a series of factors so that the building will precisely meet the set requirements. In close collaboration with the client, a building adapted to individual needs is designed. ProductiON ANd logistics The KOMA system is based on speed, precision, attention to detail and efficiency. That is why immediately after the handover of the blueprint to production, logisticians start planning the transportation and organization of the finishing works. As the manufacturing of the modules in the production hall is realized according to very specific data, only finishing works remain to be done during the building s assembly on site. ConstructiON The KOMA system of modular construction is based on maximum simplicity. The precision of the production process ensures that the construction in the designated location is realized in a very short time. However, this in no way means reduced demands placed on the building itself. Quite the opposite: the buildings meet all sanitation, thermalinsulation and fire protection standards. KOMA Space offers to either assemble the construction or provide supervision thereof. KOMA Disaster System 2 5 k o m a s p a c e

29 Antarctica The Czech Republic can have a research station in Antarctica A modern modular research station for a year-round stay of up to 20 researchers could be built in Antarctica. Thanks to its variability, the KOMA modular system can be used in the construction of an environmentally sensitive building, which will meet demanding energy-efficiency criteria. 2 7 k o m a s p a c e

30 Extreme The variability and flexibility of modular constructions using the KOMA Space system allows structures to be built even in locations where traditional construction would be impossible or at least very difficult. That is why the KOMA Space system finds use mainly in non-standard conditions and extreme situations. Without doubt one of the more unusual locations for the construction of buildings is Antarctica. The advantages of modular construction in building research stations in the Antarctic region lie not only in its practicality and speed, but also the fact that structures built using the KOMA Space system can be easily relocated. 2 8 k o m a e x t r e m e

31 1 research station + 8 storage containers = 2 sleeping accommodation units + 1 laboratory + 1 administrative room + 2 SANitary facilities + 8 warehouses = 8 weeks Because of its modular nature, the KOMA Space system enables the construction of a wide range of buildings even in extreme conditions. Its unique character and high variability offer the possibility to build highly specific structures such as a research station in Antarctica intended for a year-long stay of up to 20 scientists. Architectural design The architectural aspect of the design of research stations in Antarctica is perhaps more important than in many other types of buildings. Such structures are not only about practicality, optimum use of space and technical properties such as thermal insulation. What also matters in these types of buildings is their appearance. Not only does a research station need to be easily visible and identifiable, but it must also look good. In these types of design, it is expected that they will be extensively covered by the media, and the more architecturally attractive the building is, the more media coverage it will get compared to other buildings that may be equally functional, but visually uninteresting. The KOMA architectural team can deliver both perfect functionality and attractive appearance. ProductiON ANd logistics The realization of such a unique project is conducted in perfect cooperation between the architectural, production and logistical teams. The specific requirements are reflected in all of these segments, which complete their tasks with increased attention in order to meet the great demands for such a specific structure. KOMA Disaster System ConstructiON One of the essential qualities of the KOMA Space system is its flexibility, which is understandably also reflected in the production itself. It is not just about the choice of module composition, but also the possibility to anchor the construction using ground screws so that the construction works in the designated location can be reduced to the minimum and not pose a burden for the surrounding area. Thanks to these qualities, the construction process using the KOMA Space system is very environmentally friendly, as 90% of all the construction works does not take place at the construction site, but rather in the production hall, where it is conducted in line with stringent environmental standards. 2 9 k o m a s p a c e

33 The North Sea The harsh life ON AN oil rig Oil companies are trying to ease the difficult life of staff working on oil rigs by equipping these with comfortable housing and administrative facilities. An oil rig is a construction built in open ocean, and because of its temporary character, the solution of esthetically acceptable and comfortable sleeping and living quarters for its staff requires the KOMA system of modular construction. 3 1 k o m a s p a c e

34 Mining KOMA Space specializes in the construction of residential modules to be used anywhere in the world, which is why the portfolio of KOMA Mining includes modular units that can be used in specific types of environment. The company focuses particularly on modular construction for extreme conditions and realizes not only solutions intended for housing and administration purposes, but also offers protective, explosion-proof containers. One of the company s projects was the delivery of sleeping quarters for a Shell oil rig. Also installed on this rig was an explosive-resistant container. 3 2 k o m a m i n i n g

35 1 three-storey sleeping quarters + 1 administrative building + 4 explosion- - proof protective containers = 1 complete set of oil rig facilities = 16 weeks Among other things, KOMA Space focuses on supplying complete facilities for people who live and work, or are temporarily stationed in extreme conditions. Thanks to its flexibility, speed and practicality, KOMA modular construction can be used in places where other types of construction cannot. DesiGN It goes without saying that with any specific construction, great emphasis is put on creating an ideal project which is directly modified to the client s needs and requirements. The KOMA Mining system is based on an individual approach, which allows the creation of quite unique modules. One such example is the explosion-proof container which KOMA developed for the Shell Corporation. ProductiON ANd logistics The production of specific modules is often difficult, as it must go through complex testing processes. Parallel with the living quarters for the Shell oil rig project, living and sanitary modules and a protective container are being produced, which the developer team has modified to the specific requirements. Meanwhile, the Logistical department is planning, together with the client, the transportation of the modules to the designated location. ConstructiON The construction of the delivered modular set is conducted according to individual agreement with the client. KOMA Space either assembles the set on site or merely carries out supervision. The company also offers special training to clients so that they can assemble the sets themselves. This possibility is much appreciated mainly if the construction is to be extended, reduced or relocated. KOMA Disaster System 3 3 k o m a s p a c e
