Temporary structures: Industrial temporary buildings for construction and infrastructure projects

Why are tier one construction contractors turning to industrial temporary buildings on large infrastructure projects?

Temporary buildings are widely used in retail and logistics as a fast and affordable method to increase storage space.  In recent months, we have seen an increase in demand from construction contractors working on longer-term, large-scale projects requiring extra space.  As a temporary building can be installed in most locations, they make for excellent site storage facilities for construction and infrastructure projects. 

While the structures may be called “temporary”, the reality is they’re usually in place for many years, such is the quality and life expectancy of our structures.  The benefit of a temporary building is that once the project has completed, it can be easily relocated to other sites or another project.  As they are modular buildings, it is possible to easily add or remove bays, giving you the right space for your site.  They meet all relevant building regulations and are designed to comply with local wind and weather loadings, which we include as standard during the design process.

Where can you install a temporary building?

A temporary building can be installed on almost any ground surface.  Our expert team can design bespoke solutions to fit a building on your site. A temporary building does not need complex groundworks and we can accommodate slopes, obstacles and existing structures in the design.  Field and Lawn can provide a temporary building solution for your project.  

Case Study: HS2 Infrastructure Storage

Field and Lawn provided a bespoke 15m x 32m, temporary structure for a tier one construction contractor who required a medium-term storage facility.  The building features a large, 5m integrated open sided loading bay.  The structure was finished with internal pallet racking for additional storage. The valuable storage space will be used to store items needed throughout their build programme.

Based on this success and the flexibility provided by industrial temporary buildings, we are embarking on a programme of ten further industrial buildings across the UK. Considering the total cost and speed it takes to install, the high standards and quality will impress even any site or project manager.  Giving you more flexibility and space than a standard portacabin. 

What can temporary industrial buildings be used for?

The possibilities are endless! Primarily, they are used for storage facilities, warehousing space, industrial canopies and material stores.  However we have solutions for a full range of uses, from offices, canteens, drying rooms and full semi-permanent welfare villages.  A temporary building will also provide industrial workshop space, a fabrication and finishing building or security structures.  They can be specified with full insulation, partitioned and specified to meet all your space needs.

Field and Lawn have over thirty five years of extensive experience in designing and installing temporary structures and modular buildings.  Our product range is diverse, and we can supply short term industrial storage tents through to fully insulated, semi-permanent highly insulated ambient temporary storage facilities.  

 

Hire or purchase?

If you are looking for a short to medium term temporary solution, hiring a temporary industrial building may be the best option.  Once the hire period is complete, we simply collect the structure.  If you are embarking on a longer-term project and require longer term temporary storage, an outright purchase option may be the perfect solution to get the additional space you need
