Step 1 - Fitting the personnel door

First we create the framework for the new door and cut an aperture into container. The frame is then welded into the aperture and a drip rail welded to the top, so the new door can be attached. This door was fitted to open inwards.

Step 2 - Fitting the window

First we cut the required size apertures into the container and weld the frames to hold the glazing. The windows are then fitted with anti vandal steel shutters, offering a high level of security. This window is in the right hand side of the container, 3 ft 6in up from the floor.

Step 3 - Making the steel partition

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. On this job, the partition is 8ft wide and positioned directly behind the main container doors. In addition, the partition incorporates an aluminium door with a glass panel.

Step 4 - The door hook

We fabricated a hook on the outside of the right hand door of the container, in order for it to be tied open when needed.

Step 5 - Ply lining

The container is insulated with 100mm rock wool, which is packed into a 12mm timber frame, fitted to the container walls. The edges are finished off with beading, to ensure no gaps are left. For this job, the doors were ply lined too.

Step 6 - Fitting the electrics

For this job we fitted our Electrical Package B - which includes a consumer unit, external hook up, 4 strip lights, 4 double sockets and one wall heater.

Step 7 - Repainting
