Warehouse space continues to be in high demand, and ideal properties becoming more and more scarce, shipping container sheds are becoming increasingly popular. With Australia’s weather conditions posing a constant threat to companies in the industrial, mining and construction sectors, with the ever changing threat of torrential rain, damaging winds or scorching heat, protecting people and assets is something to be considered.
Shipping Container Shed Ideas: Why Consider Warehouse Shelters?
Warehouse shelters can contribute towards a company, particularly those within the construction, industrial and mining sectors in many different ways, depending on their shelter needs. Shipping container sheds are designed to be relocatable, meaning they are great for temporary or semi-permanent jobs.
With varying sizes and scopes of projects, warehousing needs for construction companies can differ from project to project. A shipping container shed can provide storage space for heavy equipment, tools, and construction materials such as steel and concrete, protecting them from damage from weather conditions. Temporary office space is required to manage operations for many construction sites, container mounted fabric shelters provide warehousing facilities under the fabric covered area, and the shipping containers have the ability to be transformed into temporary office space, meeting rooms, and other amenities to support the needs of construction teams.
The industrial sector consists of so many smaller organisations and companies, all specialising in different areas, whether it be waste management, marine, exporters or manufacturers. Warehouse shelters can provide the much needed additional storage space for industrial equipment, raw materials, finished products, and inventory management. With shorter lead times than conventional steel-clad buildings, fabric shelters can be installed quickly and easily, providing a flexible solution that can be relocated as needed. This can be especially beneficial for companies that need to expand their operations quickly or are working in areas with limited space.
Companies within the mining industry aren’t necessarily always located within close proximity of their main office or work site which is why portable shelters such as fabric domes are an ideal shelter solution. Shipping container sheds can be used to store large amounts of raw materials such as ore, coal, and minerals which need to be stored and protected from things such as moisture, dust, and temperature fluctuations before they are processed. With such big and specific operations, mining sites require a variety of specialised equipment, such as heavy machinery, drills and explosives. Proper storage of this equipment is crucial to ensure that it remains in good condition and is readily accessible when needed, in the hope to minimise the need of costly and timely repairs, although when repairs or maintenance are required, the ability to be able to store parts, and carry out the works close to the site can save time and reduce downtime.
By utilising warehouse shelters, companies within the construction, industrial and mining industries can optimise their operations and improve efficiency, allowing them to focus on delivering high-quality projects on time and within budget.
