Converts containers into a Mining Workshop: Part 1

Storage WISE recently embarked on a transformative project for a repeat customer in the mining industry. The challenge? To convert two 6-meter containers into a unified workshop space, complete with specific modifications tailored to meet the demands of a mining site.

Making the vision a reality

The customer’s vision was to seamlessly integrate the two containers, positioning them side by side while creating a connecting walkway between them. Each container had unique requirements, necessitating distinct alterations to serve their intended purposes efficiently.

For Container 1, Storage WISE orchestrated a comprehensive overhaul, ensuring it met the operational specifications. The transformation included:

Container Preparation

Rust removal and thorough priming and painting of both interior and exterior surfaces to enhance durability and aesthetics.

Enhancements and Installations

A 6m standard shipping container
Installation of electrical provisions, comprising a distribution board (DB), 2 double plugs, 2 units of 4-foot LED Vapour-proof lights, along with a light switch. Furthermore, a Certificate of Compliance (C.O.C) for electrical work was supplied, ensuring compliance with safety standards.
Application of polyurethane rubberised flooring for added durability, ease of maintenance, and enhanced safety within the workspace.
Creation of a 1.7m x 2m cutout with a sturdy rectangle tube frame, serving as the walkway link between Container 1 and its counterpart.
