Industry sectors

Construction

Shipping containers, converted or standard, lend themselves nicely to the construction industry. Their security and portability make them highly valuable. Due to their design, when a job is complete, they can be loaded, picked up and moved to a different site.

Containers to Facilitate your Construction Site

Compliant-ready, low-priced and portable accommodation

Shipping Container Offices

Shipping container offices are an ideal solution for on-site workspace. Anti-vandal windows and doors ensure your container is as protected as possible when left alone. The inside lining makes them easy to maintain and comfortable to use all year round.

Welfare Units

A welfare unit can arrive at your construction site ready to use and compliant with CDM regulations. They offer an all-in-one solution to your staff, providing a space to eat, refresh and clean.

  • Private toilets
  • Showers
  • Changing facilities
  • Breakrooms
  • Kitchens
  • Heating/air conditioning

These container solutions also offer portability. They can be picked up and transported to the next site. Need to save space? Containers are designed to be stacked on top of one another, even when converted. We also supply staircases to make this possible.

You can find some of our various office & welfare solutions here.

Specialised storage

Something in the construction industry can’t just be left stored in a standard container. However, they can be converted to safety house certain equipment/objects. Whether specific machineries like air compressors or large batteries. They can even be modified into COSHH Stores to safely store hazardous substances. All these options are still just as secure as a standard container and can be transported from place to place.

FAQs

A container exposed to sunlight and cold can suffer from condensation, especially if the interior, or the contents of the interior, are damp. Condensation can usually be prevented by the use of disposable dehumidifiers or the more efficient anti-condensation technique of spraying the ceiling with Grafo. Please speak to our sales staff about applying a coating of Grafo to your container before delivery.

Shipping containers are designed to be fully waterproof, including the doors which are fitted with full wrap around seals. International Standards Organisation (ISO) containers are designed to last many years and withstand overseas crossings with laden cargo.

The structure of the container is designed to be supported by four corners with a full load should you require it. The land base could be grass or soil but it must be firm throughout the duration of the container placement. Also the ground should be level helping the container to remain stable. The doors may become difficult to open or indeed worse if the end frame of the container moves out of square.

When padlocked through the available holes in the door gear, they are secure but can be made more secure by the fitting of a lock box, which protects the lock from interference (and the elements).
