Product description
20FT X 8FT Anti Vandal Office Canteen – Durable Modular Workspace
This 20-foot by 8-foot shipping container has been modified to serve as a secure office or canteen. It is constructed from a high-grade steel shipping container, providing a robust and portable structure suitable for various commercial and industrial environments. The modification includes essential fit-outs required for a functional indoor space, with an emphasis on durability and resistance to vandalism .
Key Features
-
Anti-Vandal Specification: Constructed with heavy-duty steel cladding and fitted with secure lockboxes and tamper-resistant fixtures to protect the interior and its contents .
-
Fully Insulated Interior: The walls, ceiling, and floor are lined with insulation (such as polyurethane foam or EPS sandwich panels) to regulate internal temperature and reduce external noise, creating a comfortable environment .
-
Integrated Electrical System: Pre-wired with a concealed electrical installation, including internal lighting, switched sockets, and an external connection point for a mains power supply .
-
Commercial Flooring: Fitted with durable, easy-to-clean flooring. In areas intended for food preparation or consumption, this surface is selected for its resistance to stains and compliance with food safety standards .
-
Multi-Room Potential: The internal space is designed to accommodate distinct areas, allowing for a segregated server, kitchenette, or storage zone within the single unit .
Detailed Description
The 20FT Anti Vandal Office Canteen provides a practical solution for site accommodation, remote workspaces, or auxiliary catering facilities. Constructed from a modified ISO shipping container, the structure offers inherent security and strength. The unit is designed for rapid deployment, requiring only a flat level surface and a connection to utilities to become operational .
Durability and Security
The structure is fabricated from Corten steel, known for its weather resistance and longevity. Specific modifications are made to entry points; doors and windows are fitted with reinforced frames and secure locking mechanisms to deter unauthorized access. This level of construction ensures the unit can withstand the rigors of construction sites, public events, and high-footfall locations .
Interior Fit-Out
Attention has been given to the internal liveability of the space. Thermal insulation is applied throughout the container envelope, making the interior suitable for use in varied climates . Internal walls are finished with a durable lining, such as PVC-coated or painted steel sheet, which is simple to wipe down and maintain. The electrical installation is integrated within the wall linings, resulting in a clean and safe finish. Provisions for necessary services, such as data cabling or water supplies for a canteen setup, can be accommodated .
Adaptability
While configured as an office or canteen, the robust nature of the unit makes it adaptable for multiple uses. It can function as a security checkpoint, a staff break room, a ticket booth, or a small retail kiosk. Its modular dimensions mean multiple units can be joined together if a larger footprint is required in the future .
