When Is It the Right Choice?
If allocating a building will take long, if you work at a temporary site or if the unit moves often, a shielded container is a fast solution.
It is built inside standard 20 and 40 ft containers and can be transported by road.
What Does It Include?
Shielded walls, a gasketed door, filtered power and ventilation, lighting and workbenches are integrated inside the container.
If needed, a generator connection and air conditioning are planned as well.
Installation Time
Because the container is prepared and tested in the workshop, only placement and connection remain on site.
It is ready for use on site in a short time.
Which Scenarios?
A shielded container is the fastest solution for temporary operations centers, regional forensic units, field test teams and projects where allocating a building will take long. It can also be used until space opens up in the organization's building.
For the chain of evidence from field to lab, see our Faraday bag, box and room comparison. Container options are on our shielded container page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a container need ground preparation?
A level surface with enough load capacity is enough; in most cases a simple concrete pad is prepared.
Can a container be rented?
It's assessed per project; usually it's built and delivered with equipment specific to the organization.
How many people can work inside?
Usually one to two stations in a 20 ft container, and more in a 40 ft container.
