Installing the Container Shelters that Can Meet Your Mine Site Needs


A mining site, no matter the type, usually consists of a range of facilities to support various operational needs. There should a place where laboratory works can be safely done, a wide area for storing machinery, and sleeping quarters for stay-in workers. These facilities, however, must be designed to be temporary structures only, considering the likelihood of immediate need for relocation or change in the site’s infrastructure.

You will rarely find mining sites that have fixed buildings stood on them. Most have container shelters, temporary facilities that are made up of well-assembled metal frames and sheets. The frame and bracing of a high-quality container shelter are usually made from tough metals, such as galvanized steel, while the walls and roof are made from a special fabric cover designed to reduce heat and cool.

Invest in a Container Dome to Store Agricultural Chemicals Properly


It’s not surprising to see farms using agricultural chemicals, such as solvents, fuels, herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides, among many others. These chemicals are actually beneficial in maintaining the health of crops and are vital in the production of high-quality produce.

The use of chemicals in farms, though commonplace, pose health risks to farmers. Both direct and indirect exposure to these vehicles can lead to a variety of health effects, including headaches, burns, and even nervous system disorders. Farm owners have the responsibility to ensure that their farmers won’t suffer from these adverse effects, and should consider the use of a container dome as a storage area for chemicals.

The Benefits of Relocatable Site Shelter for Industrial Applications


Various industries have been using container domes for different purposes, mainly to provide an alternative to erecting traditional structures in faraway locations, often with inhospitable conditions. Typically, these shelters are used to provide temporary bunk camps or work housing, mobile offices and clinics, storage for equipment, raw materials, or heavy machinery, and temporary construction sites. When a project is over, the shelters can be disassembled and stored or transported to the next location.

The benefits that a relocatable site shelter provides are many and varied compared to those offered by more permanent structures. Using a relocatable shelter that is easy to assemble and disassemble does not equate to using flimsy materials; on the contrary, these shelters are made to withstand strong winds and sweltering heat to protect their contents.

Industries that Use Dome Shelters Amid the Collapse of the Mining Boom


For years, Australia’s heavy industries have made use of the durable flexibility of dome shelters. Mining is the obvious one, the petroleum industry, and heavy pipe-laying companies are others. Ancillary industries such as transportation companies, office staff, servicing and maintenance, equipment and vehicle workshops, and accommodation, canteen facilities, and restrooms, all are quickly erected using converted shipping containers and dome shelters. From the red dusty soil of the outback, a small temporary town appears in a matter of days.

With the collapse of the commodities markets, and the slowdown in Chinese demand for Australia’s raw materials, miners and support staff are being laid-off like never before. As the big players in these industries look elsewhere to recoup their losses, what is the future for the many manufacturers of container domes and dome shelters in Australia, who have also relied so heavily on these major industries?

Climate Control: When Does a Container Shed Need to be Climatised?


A container shed can satisfy a variety of commercial and industrial needs. Whether referring to housing heavy-duty machinery or using this structure as an on-site workstation, the applications are nearly limitless.

Now, stand-alone power supplies and generations can be included within the typical facility. This enables customers to carefully maintain the interior environment; an important concern within some sectors.

The Protection of Electronic Equipment

There can be instances when a container shed is employed to temporarily house electronics and sensitive pieces of equipment. As every expert will point out, the presence of moisture can severely damage these components.

While silica gel packs and other methods can be used, it is just as effective to employ the use of a generator to power a dehumidifier within the unit. This is the best way to make certain that electronics will not be harmed from high levels of ambient moisture.

Fulfilling a Huge Need: Fast and Flexible Container Dome Installation


You have to go back over 50 years, to the early 1960s, to find any reference to shipping containers being used for anything other than shipping. While they may well have been used in various locations for standalone storage containers, it was in 1962 the Insbrandtsen Company Inc applied for a patent entitled ‘Combination shipping container and showcase’.

With the patent granted in 1965, the company wished to convert shipping containers to exhibition booths, allowing businesses to attend industry and business fairs, showcasing their products from converted containers.

A Wide Range of Applications

Converted shipping containers are used extensively by the military, to provide fast, secure, temporary storage, workshops, and accommodation in conflict areas around the globe.

Earning the Benefits of Adding Security Features for Container Domes


Modern container domes are used throughout Australia for a wide range of industrial applications. Although their capacity to house numerous valuable items cannot be overstated, it is just as important to realise the benefits provided by turnkey security systems.

On-Site Monitoring Capabilities

It is not uncommon for igloo shelters and similar structures to house rather sensitive or expensive equipment. Some common examples here could include farming machinery, industrial parts, lorries and transportation vehicles, and bulk containers being prepared for delivery.

Of course, all of these materials could prove to be very attractive to a would-be thief. This is where the power of closed-circuit television systems comes into play. Not only will this framework proactively monitor the storage unit, but the mere presence of visible cameras can act as a powerful deterrent.
