Engineering for Extremes: Sandstorm-Proof Modular Designs for the Libyan Desert
Melissa Boyacı2026-02-17T09:43:10+03:00Engineering for Extremes: Sandstorm-Proof Modular Designs for the Libyan Desert Operating in Libya’s desert basins requires more than structural compliance. It requires engineering systems specifically designed to withstand extreme sandstorms, temperature fluctuations, abrasive dust, and long logistics corridors. In regions such as the Sirte Basin and Murzuq Basin, where NOC Libya tenders frequently involve exploration and oil field services, infrastructure durability directly affects operational continuity. Modular construction and prefabricated buildings engineered for sandstorm resistance have become essential components of workforce housing, man camps, Life Support Areas (LSA), and temporary site facilities across Libya.
