Type 1: Containerised

At Entec, we understand that not every site is the same—and not every plant room needs to be built from scratch. That’s why we offer Containerised Plant Rooms as a flexible, mobile, and cost-effective solution for housing mechanical and electrical equipment.

Built inside modified shipping containers, these rooms are ideal for projects that require rapid deployment, frequent relocation, or rugged durability. All of our containers are “new, single-use only” which means they are in excellent condition – by the time they’re blasted and painted to the required specification they are effectively brand new and built to last.

A containerised plant room is a fully fitted-out equipment enclosure built inside a standard ISO shipping container. These containers are structurally robust, weatherproof, and designed for easy transport by road, rail, or sea.

We modify the container to suit the application—cutting in doors, hatches, and ventilation systems, installing internal framing and insulation, and fitting out the electrical systems required for your plant. Underfloor strengthening is added where required to ensure minimal flex under the weight of the container and its contents.

Where the standard container width of 2.4 metres is insufficient, Entec can engineer a double-width solution by welding two containers side-by-side, with the internal walls removed. Entec also has a range of kitset arched roof assemblies in order to provide run-off for rain.
