Our client, E.ON Climate & Renewables, requested a container conversion for their gas park storage site in the UK. This was a particularly detailed conversion, with many unusual features, most notable being the sliding roof. This was constructed to allow loading and unloading from above, instead of using ground level doors.
CD Code CS23516
The container roof was cut to make a slide open section measuring 10ft.
The entire exterior of the completed container was resprayed in light grey, for a smart and professional appearance.
Lining and insulating containers is a very common job, and usually a fairly straightforward process. However, for this job, ply lining the sliding roof required a sliding frame for the lining too! We would usually use 12mm thick ply for a job of this sort, but in order to allow room for the roof sections to slide one over the other, we had to half this thickness for the roof section.
This was our first task:
Next we fit the ply frame to the roof, and create a ply framework for the walls. After this is fitted we can pack in the insulating material, and board over with ply panels:
This was built in our workshop, along with the steel worktop and hooks, painted, and fitted into the container, when all other work was complete.
The electrics are installed prior to installing the shelving, and any if needed, any exterior paintwork is touched up afterwards.
With all work completed, the container is now ready to be delivered.
