40 foot shipping containers for construction of buildings

Pac-Van’s plumbers’ boxes take 20 foot storage containers and turn them into modified shipping containers by adding 2’ by 4’ extensions to one end, effectively making these 22 foot containers. Those can’t be stored in a 20 foot container without being cut, but a 40’ foot container leaves a lot of space empty, and sometimes the job site just can’t fit an extra 40 foot container.

In the plumbing industry, an uncut pipe measures in at just over 21 feet. When some plumbers shared with us that storing their pipes was challenging, we created custom shipping containers for them. Pac-Van works with our customers to create modified shipping containers to provide the right solution to whatever space challenges they’re facing. In addition to all of this, these modified containers remain significantly more environmentally friendly. These modified containers are not only unique, but technology allows construction time to be reduced by up to half that of conventional building techniques while cutting back on on-site interruptions. The large quantities available and the cost-effective prices has made them appealing to architects and designers worldwide.Ĭustom modular buildings are becoming more popular day-by-day. These steel structures can be reused in a multitude of amazing of ways. Shipping containers have been repurposed for over 2 decades. We know we’re biased, but we at Pac-Van think repurposed shipping containers are pretty incredible.
