Detailed Description
This modified shipping container provides a secure and versatile space solution, combining the functionality of a canteen or office with adjacent storage.
The unit is constructed from a standard 20-foot shipping container, chosen for its inherent strength and stackable design. The interior is fitted with a full-height partition wall, creating two separate rooms. The main area functions as a canteen or office, featuring wall lining, durable vinyl flooring, and a finished ceiling for a more comfortable environment compared to a standard container .
Security is a primary consideration for site-based units. Access to the canteen area is via a steel personnel door fitted along the side of the container, designed with anti-vandal and anti-jemmy features to prevent forced entry . The separate storage area is accessible through the original double doors at the end of the unit, which can be fitted with a lockbox for a padlock . An internal lockable door within the partition allows secure passage between the two areas without needing to go outside .
The canteen area is equipped with basic amenities to support a workforce. This includes a sink unit with a mains-fed hot water boiler and an under-sink cabinet for storage . The electrical installation includes a consumer unit, a ceiling light, and 13-amp power sockets . The external finish is fully customizable; the container can be painted in any specified color upon order, allowing it to align with company branding or site requirements .
