Our client requested a container partitioned into 3 separate areas, to be used as a bar store/cellar, a bin store, and an office.
CD Code CS24470
Specifications:
We took a used 40ft original shipping container and it down to the required length of 18ft.
As this conversion requires no end doors, but three personnel doors along the side, we have to create and fit a new end wall to the container. Then we mark out and cut three new door apertures for the personnel doors.
Once we have cut the apertures, we build three new door frames, which are then welded in to the side wall. ready for the doors to be fitted.
To separate the container into three sections, we need to create two partitions. First a steel frame work is made using 50 by 50 box section. Then we weld this into the container, followed by 2mm thick steel sheets (cut to size on the guillotine), which fill the framework.
The container is insulated with 100mm rock wool, which is packed into a timber frame, fitted to the container walls. The edges are finished off with beading, to ensure no gaps are left.
We were requested to make 4 X 100mm diameter waterproof apertures in the container, for our client to fit their own equipment. The picture below illustrates the first three, located 300mm down from the ceiling, with the fourth located at the other end of the container, 500mm up from the floor.
As requested, we lined the office and bin store sections of the container with wipe clean melamine. The floor is fitted with a vinyl covering.
After all the modification work has been completed, we gave the container a brand new coat of paint, in deep orange, as chosen by our client.
As with any conversion project, the first stage is to produce a CAD in conjunction with our client, to ensure a clear understanding of requirements.

Step by Step
1. Cutting the container to size
We took a used 40ft original shipping container and it down to the required length of 18ft.
2. The doors
As this conversion requires no end doors, but three personnel doors along the side, we have to create and fit a new end wall to the container. Then we mark out and cut three new door apertures for the personnel doors.
Once we have cut the apertures, we build three new door frames, which are then welded in to the side wall. ready for the doors to be fitted.
3. The partitions
To separate the container into three sections, we need to create two partitions. First a steel frame work is made using 50 by 50 box section. Then we weld this into the container, followed by 2mm thick steel sheets (cut to size on the guillotine), which fill the framework.
4. Insulation and ply lining
The container is insulated with 100mm rock wool, which is packed into a timber frame, fitted to the container walls. The edges are finished off with beading, to ensure no gaps are left.
5. The apertures
We were requested to make 4 X 100mm diameter waterproof apertures in the container, for our client to fit their own equipment. The picture below illustrates the first three, located 300mm down from the ceiling, with the fourth located at the other end of the container, 500mm up from the floor.
6. Melamine lining
As requested, we lined the office and bin store sections of the container with wipe clean melamine. The floor is fitted with a vinyl covering.
7. Repainting
After all the modification work has been completed, we gave the container a brand new coat of paint, in deep orange, as chosen by our client.
