20-foot technical container: modular installation container with three compartments

For this project, we built a 20-foot technical container, configured as a fully-fledged installation container and internally divided into three separate compartments. This layout allows for the safe and organized separation of various technical functions within a single compact container space.

This project is a typical example of a true technical container, designed for process and installation engineering.

Three separate technical zones in one container

The 20-foot shipping container is internally divided into three separate technical compartments, each with its own function. This layout offers:

  • clear separation of installations
  • increased safety
  • well-organized maintenance
  • optimal organization of technical processes

Each compartment is accessible via separate doors or internal partitions, depending on the installation requirements.

Technical design and ventilation

Several ventilation grilles are visible on the exterior, strategically placed for each compartment. This ensures:

  • controlled air circulation
  • heat dissipation per technical zone
  • safe operation of systems

Ventilation is essential for technical containers and is an integral part of the design.

Robust shipping container as a technical enclosure

The base structure is a standard 20-foot shipping container, adapted for technical applications. The steel container offers:

  • high structural strength
  • protection against weather conditions
  • long service life in industrial environments

The green finish provides a clear, functional, and recognizable appearance at technical sites.

Central technical access

The container is equipped with a central technical door, which provides access to one of the compartments or to a distribution area. This makes:

  • inspection and maintenance easy
  • safe interventions
  • clear routing for technical staff

Additional hatches and doors provide access to the other compartments.

Suitable for real technical installations

This technical container is designed for applications such as:

  • water and process installations
  • pump and filter systems
  • energy and utility systems
  • industrial technical modules

This is not a residential or conversion container, but a pure installation container.

Modular and scalable design

Thanks to its modular construction, this container can:

  • be placed separately
  • be connected to other technical containers
  • be adapted in layout or installation
  • be easily transported

The three-part layout also makes the container highly versatile for a wide range of technical configurations.

Quick installation and integration on site

The container can be pre-equipped and then:

  • quickly placed on foundations
  • connected to external pipes and networks
  • put into service immediately

This significantly reduces on-site installation time.

Customization by DS Units

DS Units was also responsible for the entire process in this project: from technical layout and container conversion to the installation of a ready-to-use technical container with three compartments, fully tailored to process, safety, and maintenance.

Features of this project:

  • Technical container
  • 20-foot shipping container
  • Internally divided into 3 compartments
  • Ventilation per zone
  • Robust industrial design
  • Suitable for process and installation engineering
  • Modular and scalable
