Burnell Switchgear & Control
Pre-installation fit-out streamlines production process
Over the years Burnell’s has commissioned many shipping containers from Portable Space to be used as sub-stations in the solar industry.
View Case StudyProviding bespoke containerised conversions to be shipped across the world requires meticulous planning and precision.
That’s what Portable Space has delivered over the years to Byron Marine, a Falkland Islands company which undertakes oil and gas logistical projects in one of the most isolated locations in the world.
Julian Morris, Commercial Director of Byron Marine says: “We have worked with Portable Space over a number of years, on several major projects.
“The Falkland Islands is where Byron Marine is based, where we live and work and use our expertise to deliver efficient and cost-effective logistics to projects. For the last 25 years, we have made things work in an environment which presents many challenges – for example there’s a very extended, infrequent supply chain, with operational limitations on sea and air services, a lack of readily available workers, support services and infrastructure, frequently hostile weather conditions and expensive logistics and operating costs.
“All of this requires in-depth practical knowledge and understanding of what is required to make things happen.
“Portable Space helped us with a major engineering project we were carrying out for the MOD in Falklands by supplying a container conversion which we could use as an integrated work/camp facility including welfare unit with canteen, toilets and offices. The MOD supplied all the linkways, so Portable Space had to build a self-contained solution to be shipped which was of excellent quality and spot on in terms of detail.
“Over the years we have gone back to Portable Space on a number of occasions as they are so helpful and flexible, providing a high level of detail and design and an easy company to deal with.”
