20ft forensic investigation unit

Breakdown of the Project

We were approach by the council who had a requirement for an office container complete with a secure area for storage of forensics.  

We took a 20ft new ‘one trip’ shipping container & fitted a personnel access door & 1no. window w/ shutters. We fitted a secure mesh partition across the back of the unit for storage of forensics. The front 15ft of the unit was lined & insulated internally as the unit will be in everyday use carrying out forensic investigations. Electrics fitted throughout.  

A simple enough modification that has provided a secure environment for this important confidential material.
