When Vestas NEU in June 2012 commenced the building of 30 V100 2,6 MV wind turbine towers for the O2 Wind Company i Sjisjka in northern Sweden, the 70 workers will be housed in a camp run by Site Facility.

The camp, which was situated by the Sami village of Killinge near the mining town Gällivare in Lapland, north of the arctic circle, was consisting of, among other things, a cinema, fitness centre, restaurant, games room, self sufficient laundrette, and offices, as well as living quarters with a standard comparable to a 3-star hotel.

For about five months the 70 workers stayed and lived in the camp, which had its focal point in the old village school for Sami children. Site Facility upgraded the school's kitchen so that it could function as the camp's restaurant.
