In the construction industry, safety and efficiency are of utmost importance. However, construction sites are daily targets for the theft of materials, tools, and equipment, leading to serious financial losses, delays, and potentially compromising worker safety.
We’ve already explained how shipping containers are one of the most adaptable modular architectural solutions. In this post, you’ll discover how containers can also help you protect your construction materials and improve your company’s logistical efficiency.
Why Use a Shipping Container to Store Construction Materials
Our containers are successfully used as extra storage space in single-family homes. There are also companies across various sectors that use them to store inventory, supplies, and additional equipment. We can even transform containers into self-storage centers.
In all these cases, containers have proven to be robust and durable structures that provide a space to store all types of materials. Without a doubt, they can be very useful on construction sites, offering a secure and nearby space to keep them safe from theft and damage. With a variety of sizes available, it’s easy to find the container that best suits the needs of your project.
What are the containers used as construction storage like?
Capacity
Storage containers are designed and certified to be stacked three high. They have a lighter structure, and the wall thickness is thinner. This means they are lighter and less robust than marine-grade containers. However, their characteristics remain the same in terms of capacity and design.
Reinforced Security
The containers are capable of withstanding extreme conditions at sea, making them virtually impenetrable to thieves. Additionally, they allow for numerous customization options and can be equipped with extra security systems to prevent unauthorized access.
Flexibility and Mobility
Shipping containers are mobile modules with standardized dimensions, making them very easy to handle. This allows them to be transported using common methods, enabling relocation to different construction sites and adapting to changing terrain conditions.
Economy
Compared to other storage structures, repurposed containers are a very economical option.
