Gas Turbine Generator Enclosures

We were commissioned by a client who make high-efficiency gas turbine generator packages, to custom build three shipping containers to house system upgrade machinery and equipment.

Custom-Built Plant Rooms

We chose two 20ft double door containers as the basis for secure temperature controlled enclosures. Vinyl floor was fitted for easy cleaning, HVAC and gland plate pipes were built into protected recesses and twin pack paint to finish to enhance UV protection as the containers are to be located in Afghanistan.

Switchgear Enclosure Containers

The steel construction of our containers is perfect for housing switchgear suites, control gear and other equipment necessary to supply, distribute and convert electrical supplies.

Professional Container Paint Facility

Our large paint booth enables painting of containers and larger units to high quality finishes. The booth features filtered and heated air in to create a prefect environment for paint application, and temperature controlled baking cycles for paint finishing. We are able to apply single and two pack products of varying types.

Equipment Enclosure Container

This equipment enclosure continues to show that customers need us to be able to position apertures and ventilation outlets specifically to suit the processes or equipment they contain.

Sound Attenuation Containers

Due to noise restrictions on the site where this 20ft unit was to operate we fitted it out with sound attenuation paneling and louvres. In this case the forced ventilation fan was also silenced.

End Lift Container Delivery Method

One of the two common methods of lifting containers which can be used for especially heavy units as these vehicles can lift and transport fully loaded (30 tonnes) containers if required. The photo shows lifting a heavy 40ft conversion.

Hiab Type top Lift Container Delivery Method

The most common method of container delivery is with a hiab type single point lift crane. We work with a number of specialist vehicle operators who manage our site deliveries and site positioning throughout the UK.

20ft Open Side Unit

This complete open side unit (one of a number of specials we generally stock) had the cargo doors replaced with a solid corrugated wall, chequer plate floor and louvres fitted as a boiler enclosure.

Liquid Air Energy Storage Containers

We provided a bespoke containised solution to house the world’s first liquid air energy storage plant, designed and developed by Highview Power and housed at project partner Viridor’s Pilsworth site in Bury.

Air Conditioning For Containers

We can fit a wide range of air handling and air conditioning / HVAC equipment, including frame arrangements that allow containers to be shipped and the equipment then deployed on site.

Aluminium Lined Container

Our customer installs a specific process inside this unit for which we insulate a standard 40ft container and line with aluminium sheet, plus a personnel door.

Blast Retardant Containers

Converted from standard 40ft steel shipping containers to protect workers on refinery sites during maintenance shutdowns, these units are designed to withstand a 5PSI chemical blast.

Container Fitted Crane / Lifting Beams

Crane beams of various forms are relatively easy to install within workshops and equipment houses, i.e. pump rooms. They are fully load tested and certified. We typically supply complete with beam trolley and hoist, not shown.

Containers for Exhibition Use

Within the field of unusual requests we were asked to supply and were happy to oblige with 40ft containers to the Ford Motors stand of the 2004 Motor Show at the NEC (the Thunderbird theme). The units were subsequently also used for the Paris Motor Show. We worked with the customer to paint the units a suitable colour that was then specially lit on the stand.

Control Unit Containers

This unit was to container electrical equipment cabinets, so we installed Unistrut in the floor and around the walls for secure fixing of the units, given that these also had to withstand the dynamic forces associated with transportation. We also supplied forced ventilation with plenum mounted fans in order that heat generated by the units could be expelled.

Din Type Apertures

This unit is destined for the Middle East and we provided laser cut plates for the customer to connect an internal water treatment system to other equipment and vessels. We can also have plates spot faced should applications require it.

Electrical Conduits

Within our workshops we are able to fabricate specific non-standard items for incorporation into customer designs, as this cable ducting arrangement shows.

Laboratory Container

Laboratory units supplied with specialist resin-based chemical resistant worktop.

A-Frame Container Unit

The customer wanted the versatility of a 20ft container and a hook-lift A-frame so we combined the two. This unit has a permanently welded A-frame chassis attached to it. If a customer needs to be able to separate the two we can supply an A-frame platform with twistlocks that a container would attach to in the same way as to a vehicle trailer.

Container TV Broadcast Studio

A fully lined and insulated, air conditioned, carpet walled and partitioned broadcast control studio. Fully shippable.

Ply Lined 20ft Container

This is a basic ply lined container for use as a general equipment store with optional additional air vents. Whatever customers require we are able to advise accordingly to ensure the end result is as suitable as possible for the application and budget.

Process Enclosure Container

Process enclosure incorporating two lifting beams allowing heavy equipment to be handled for servicing, etc. Exact positioning of various apertures for connections of the process equipment to external systems meant that a complex roof framework was required for the mounting of the beams in exactly the correct position for lifting. High ventilation throughput with fans.

Pump Enclosure Containers

Sand-Trap Louvres

Sometimes we have to come up with solutions to requirements, and in this case it was a sand trap louvre, designed and fabricated in our workshops and then galvanized.

School Room

This 40ft unit was supplied to a primary school to enable children to be cared for before and after school hours.

Security Hut Container

This unit was for positioning on a site and for use as a security hut. The narrow windows shown are opening louvres.

Site Office Containers

A very common request is to convert containers to site offices, mess room, or storage cabins. Armoured and normal personnel doors are commonly fitted into the sidewalls of the container. However, in the example below the customer decided to use the original doors for security and had an internal bulkhead fitted just behind them, with a wooden internal door.

Site Workshop Container

The unit ended up welded to the deck of a ship for ship refurbishment.

Site Workshop Container with Work Bench

Site workshop with work bench, bund tray floor and internal partition with 110v transformer in the atrium.
