A petroleum company in Guildford needed a custom made container that fit a very restricted site.

Standard shipping containers were too large for the available space. The client required a smaller, purpose-built container that remained strong, accessible and compliant with site safety standards.

The new container had to:

• Fit within the limited area available on-site.
• Include easy access for staff and equipment.
• Be durable enough for long-term industrial use.
• Match the company’s professional brand aesthetic.
