The shipping container meets all three needs with an unbeatable value for money. Set up in a single day, movable from site to site, with no demolition required: it is the logistics solution that adapts to your pace.
- 1 600 000employees in construction in France (2nd largest employing sector)
- < 48 hdelivery and installation time for a container on site
- > 90 %of accidents avoided thanks to secure equipment storage
- €190 Bnin annual revenue of the French construction sector (2023)
Container uses in construction
Construction sites bring together multiple constraints: rapid team rotation, storage of high-value equipment, management of hazardous products, and legal requirements for site facilities. The shipping container meets each of these needs with mobile, secure, and immediately operational infrastructure.
Industry constraints
How containers meet the constraints of a construction site
-
Anti-theft security — solid steel and armored doors
Our containers are made of 2mm-thick Corten steel. The doors are fitted with welded padlock guards that prevent any angle-grinder attack. A quality armored padlock (A2P rated) makes the container virtually impregnable.
-
Fast installation — set up in a single day, mobile from site to site
Your crane truck sets up a 20 ft container in under an hour. When the site is finished, the container moves on to the next one in a single morning. No lost investment, no demolition: it is the most agile logistics solution in the construction industry.
-
Labor law compliance — site facilities to R4228-1 standards
Our site facilities are designed to comply to the letter with Articles R4228-1 to R4228-38 of the French labor code. Surface area per employee, number of water points, sanitary equipment: everything is calculated and documented to pass an IPRP inspection without difficulty.
The most commonly used container types in construction
The strength of Corten steel and the standardization of ISO dimensions make the container the tool best suited to the demands of a construction site: impact resistance, total watertightness, and unrestricted transport between sites. The 10, 20, and 40 ft formats cover every need, from a single-unit changing room to a warehouse for heavy materials.
-
10 and 20 ft dry container
The workhorse of the construction site. The 10 ft (3 m) is ideal for small teams or tight spaces in city centers. The 20 ft (6 m) offers 33 m³ of versatile storage. Both models are fitted with welded padlock guards and a solid, moisture-resistant wood floor.
-
Fitted-out site facility container
This module is fully equipped by our teams before delivery: individual changing rooms with lockers, code-compliant restrooms, hot and cold water points, LED lighting, electric heating, and power outlets. It arrives ready to connect to your site's power supply.
-
Open top container
This container is open on top. The removable protective tarp allows rubble, spoil, or bulky materials to be loaded directly by crane or excavator. It is widely used for construction waste management in urban areas where a standard skip is hard to maneuver.
Standards
Construction standards and regulations to comply with
-
R4228-1 (Labor Code)
These articles of the labor code set out the employer's obligations regarding sanitary facilities, changing rooms, and rest areas on construction sites. Our site facilities are sized and equipped to meet these requirements and pass Labor Inspectorate checks.
-
Environmental Code
The storage of hazardous products on site (fuels, solvents, paints) is governed by the Environmental Code. The absence of a containment tray in the event of a spill constitutes an offense that can lead to criminal penalties and cleanup obligations for the site manager.
-
NF C 15-100
The NF C 15-100 standard governs low-voltage electrical installations in France. All our site facility containers fitted with an electrical installation are wired and fitted with a distribution panel in compliance with this standard, allowing you to connect them directly to your site's main switchboard (TGBT) fully legally.
FAQ
FAQ: your questions about containers and construction
Find answers to the most common questions about our containers and services.
Do I need to notify the town hall to install a container on a job site?
For an installation of less than 3 months on private property, no formalities are required. Beyond 3 months, a prior declaration of works is generally necessary. On public roads, a road occupancy permit from the local council is mandatory. We can help you with these administrative procedures.
How do I secure a container against theft on a job site?
Optimal protection combines several levels: a welded steel padlock guard on the doors (prevents angle-grinder attacks), an A2P-certified armored padlock, a self-contained alarm with siren and motion detector, and, if possible, a surveillance camera. For very high-value tools, choose ground anchoring with chains or concrete blocks.
How much floor space is needed for a 20 ft container?
The container itself measures 6,06 m × 2,44 m. Allow about 15 meters of clearance in length for the maneuvering of the semi-trailer truck delivering it. Ideally, leave 1 meter of clearance all around the container to make access and movement easier.
Can a site facility container be connected to the site's electrical network?
Yes. Our site facility containers are delivered with an NF C 15-100 compliant electrical panel, wired and ready to connect. You simply connect the power cable to your site's main switchboard (TGBT). We can also arrange a connection to the EDF grid if your site has a permanent connection.
