Container system for rapid mining camp solutions
Container World’s Multihouse container system presents a superior quality space solution at extremely competitive prices. Multihouse packs are transported in bundles of four ‘flat-pack’ units which can reduce transport costs by up to 75%. Units are completely modular in design and can be joined together, with windows and doors positioned to suit almost any application. Bundles are also CSC certified, which makes them ideal for ocean freight, and hassle-free delivery to any international destination.
The standard Multihouse units vary from single open-plan offices/accommodation units, to units with en-suite bathrooms, ablution units, and accommodation blocks of 200 units or more, and can be joined into large modular structures to make canteens and recreation facilities.
Shipping containers converted for mining camps
Container World has new and used 20ft (6m) and 40ft (12m) CSC certified shipping containers for sale and for hire. Container World’s extensive branch network throughout southern Africa assists in getting the container equipment to our customer’s doorstep, as well as ensuring high container stock availability.
Container World has a professional team tasked with converting containers used in specific applications such as containerised ablutions, accommodation units, kitchens, offices and storage space. Container World has deployed modular container camps using the shipping container as the basic unit for the development of remote camp facilities for the mining industry and for the onshore oil and gas industry.
Refrigerated containers and container cold storage systems
Container World has a fleet of refrigerated containers, referred to as reefers, in 20ft (6m) and 40ft (12m) dimensions. The standard operating temperature for the refrigerated container is -20ºC (-0.4ºF) to +15ºC (50ºF). The reefer container also ships as a standard shipping container, which makes it suitable for inter-modal transportation options. These characteristics make the reefer the perfect solution for all cold storage applications.
Container World can also offer the option of modifying the reefers to make them suitable for freezing goods, or even modify them to allow two separate storage areas, or more, inside the same reefer container.
Tank containers and bulk liquid shipping containers for the mining industry
Container World maintains a fleet of bulk liquid tank containers. The Container World tank container is a large stainless-steel pressure vessel held within a 20ft ISO frame that is used for the transportation and storage of bulk liquids. The 20ft ISO frame ensures that tank containers can be transported using most modern inter-modal transportation options, including container ships, trucks and rail. The tank container provides a safe, reliable and cost-effective way to transport and store bulk liquids. Capacity ranges are 20,000l and 26,000l, depending on the cargo, with a working pressure rating of 3 Bar to 4 Bar.
Container World sells tank containers and leases tank containers globally with specific emphasis within the African market.
