What we designed and built
The project started with a standard 20ft shipping container, which was insulated with white PIR insulation. The interior of the container was divided into two parts by a partition wall, with the lion’s share of the container’s volume taken up by a custom-made fixed water tank. Swap body rails were added to the container to make it easier to move. The smaller space on the other side of the partition wall was further divided into two parts by a partition wall.
During the design phase, the use of the container was maximized by building a custom-made storage system in which the fire suppression container’s equipment always travels with it on gigs. The storage systems were equipped with separate access doors, LED lighting, and ventilation The exterior walls of the container were primed and finally painted in a special color chosen by the customer.
