Understanding Container Boiler Rooms
Containerised boiler rooms are a compact, flexible alternative to traditional plant rooms – ideal for projects where space, speed, or cost is a concern.
These units are purpose-built in converted shipping containers to house boiler systems that generate heat or steam for applications such as process heating, hot water, and space heating. Our in-house team designs and modifies each container to safely support this equipment, with key features like insulation, ventilation, electrical connection points, buffer tank supports, and personnel access doors.
We work with both biomass and steam boiler systems, depending on your requirements. Biomass boilers are ideal for organisations aiming to reduce emissions and energy costs, while steam boilers suit high-demand environments like manufacturing, food production, and other industrial processes requiring consistent, high-temperature output.
Container Boiler Room Features
- Custom Doors and Hatches: Easy access for servicing and maintaining equipment.
- Flue Penetration for Boiler Chimney: Built-in roof opening for safely fitting the boiler chimney.
- Fire-Resistant Lining: Walls and ceiling lined and insulated with fire-safe materials.
- Steel Floor: Strong steel floor to handle heavy equipment and daily use.
- Custom Finish: Choose from any RAL colour to match your brand or site aesthetics.
Container Boiler Room Dimensions
- 20ft High Cube (New) – Additional sizes can be discussed to fit your equipment.
- Engineered Ventilation: Airflow is calculated to meet project-specific heat loads, with fans, louvres, and ducting fitted to prevent overheating and maintain equipment performance.
Case Study
Heathrow Bakery, now known as Panificio Italiano, produces over 2 million rolls weekly for the airline and prepared meal industry. As part of their expansion, the team needed specialist enclosures to house critical equipment, including biomass and steam boilers.
