Temporary Residential Units (TRUs)
Emergency Housing. Fast. Secure. Durable.
In a country where natural disasters, fires, and displacement events are all too common, the need for fast, secure, and dignified shelter is more urgent than ever. Steelworld’s TRUs – Temporary Residential Units – represent the next generation in disaster-responsive housing and emergency infrastructure.
Designed for speed, strength, and scalability, our TRUs provide immediate shelter solutions that don’t compromise on structural integrity or liveability. These units are engineered for rapid deployment and built using high-quality steel systems to ensure durability in even the harshest conditions.
The next evolution in scalable, dignified shelter.
But TRUs are not just for disaster relief. As South Africa continues to evolve beyond ageing models like RDP housing, TRUs offer a modern, modular approach to housing that is cost-effective, efficient, and ready for urban or rural integration. With insulation, weather resistance, and design flexibility, they are a viable solution for municipalities, NGOs, government bodies, and the private sector looking to deliver real impact – fast.
