3. Material & Structural Specifications
Steel Shell: Heavy-gauge corrugated Corten A-grade weathering steel outer shell, providing superior weather resistance and structural durability.
Thermal Insulation: High-density insulation lining (typically 50mm to 75mm of polyurethane spray foam, rockwool, or PIR sandwich panels) fully encasing the walls and ceiling to minimize thermal transfer.
Internal Wall & Ceiling Lining: Finished with hygienic, wipeable, and durable white melamine-faced panels, galvanized steel sheeting, or food-safe FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastic).
Flooring: Heavy-duty marine-grade plywood or insulated composite floor overlaid with commercial-grade anti-slip vinyl sheeting, designed to support heavy pallet jacks and equipment loads.
4. Access, Security & Environmental Control
Door Assembly: Standard double-wing cargo doors featuring heavy-duty vertical locking cam bars, equipped with enhanced thermal perimeter seals to prevent heat loss or condensation ingress.
Security Protection: Factory-fitted heavy-duty steel lockbox shielding padlocks against bolt-cutters and tampering.
Ventilation & Climate Management: Sealed environment with provisions for natural pressure relief vents or an optional split-system air conditioner / dehumidifier to maintain precise internal climate control.
5. Electrical Infrastructure (Standard Provision)
Power Distribution: Internal distribution board (DB) featuring RCD safety circuit breakers and an external weather-resistant industrial site-plug inlet (IP66 rated).
Lighting: Flush-mounted energy-efficient LED ceiling fixtures.
Outlets: Strategically positioned general power outlets (GPOs) for auxiliary equipment or monitoring tools.
6. Logistics & Handling
Transport: Fully compatible with standard intermodal transport logistics, including tilt-tray trucks, side-loaders, and flatbed trailers.
Site Deployment: Rapidly positioned on any level hardstand (concrete, asphalt, or compacted gravel) with minimal foundation requirements for instant thermal-controlled storage readiness.
