Types Of Container Conversion In UAE

Shipping Containers And Conversions 

The humble, huge steel boxes called shipping containers are one of the best modes for intermodal transportation to transport goods. The import and export industry and manufacturing companies with global presence depend on shipping containers to ship raw materials and finished goods. Shipping containers are being used for decades and now they are being recognized for so many other purposes. Shipping containers have now been modified into different avatars. They now play a major role in construction industries where containers are converted into offices, warehouses and more. 

The big steel boxes are versatile and easily take different forms. The plain and simple rectangular boxes can help with a lot of conversion projects. It is fairly simple to weld, cut and attach them to other containers to create a big space. Container conversion UAE has simplified conversion projects into three different categories that are discussed below.

Basic And Bespoke Conversions 

The most simplest and easiest conversion projects come under the basic conversions. Basic conversion types are quick and easy to build. Simple conversion projects like, a storage space for personnel, basic office space with a window and door or a small warehouse to store paints and other building materials. The basic conversion types would require just a single piece of shipping container to which a door needs to be fixed on one side. A few projects will require windows and shelves in addition. Paint the conversions in a colour that suits your business. This is the most popular type of container conversion. It is inexpensive but does not compromise on quality and structural  integrity. 

Another conversion type is the Bespoke conversion. It is a complex conversion type that does not have any rules and regulations. It is done purely on research and the design born out of one's vision. Imagine these steel boxes as Lego and then use a lot of engineering to come up with structural marvels. It involves a lot of problem solving in structural engineering. It is an expensive conversion type which can be used to build hotels, houses, shopping malls and more. With a lot of creativity and engineering, one can come up with an impressive structure. 

Intermediate Conversions

An intermediate conversion is an extension of basic conversion but does not get beyond bespoke conversion. Intermediate conversions usually provide more space than what a basic conversion projects offer. Shipping containers come in different shapes and sizes. Those who want space more than what a single shipping container can provide and apply intermediate conversion. It is all about integrating different containers to create more space. You can remove a side of a shipping container and attach another container. To do this, you need to strengthen the primary structure. You can include a sliding roof, large window installations, sky lights, curtain sides, turnstiles, drop sides, serving hatches and more. It is more expensive than a basic conversion and takes more than 4 to 6 weeks to complete a project.
