Conversions
A significant and growing proportion of the company's activity is the supply of containers for conversion into buildings. Among a number of completed projects is the acclaimed "Container City" in East London (UK). A Boxtor customer has transformed 40' freight containers at their riverside site into a striking building, comprising workshops, offices and studios.
The same customer has also developed a multi-storey classroom ("Containerlearn") at a London University site. The 40' containers used for this project were also provided by Boxtor Limited.
There are a number of other similar projects under way all serving to demonstrate the versatility and durability of these units.
On a smaller scale another of the Boxtor customers has built a meat processing plant from two containers. Almost unrecognisable from the outside and certainly from the internal perspective - the containers have formed the basic low-cost structural framework for the building.
The conversion of containers into a variety of uses is limited only by the imagination.
