Engineered once, deployable many times.
A modular container shower is a workforce ablution facility built into a transport-compatible container chassis with shower stations, hot water generation, HVAC and ventilation infrastructure pre-installed. structmod modular container showers ship in standard ISO 668 footprint (20-ft or 40-ft) — sea-freight compatible, road transport on standard tractors, deployable in 4-8 hours by a small crew. Inside, 8 to 24 individual shower cubicles plus drying area, lockers and ancillary infrastructure deliver the bathing capacity that workforce camps and event sites require.
Standard configurations organise the shower block as parallel cubicle banks with central drying area: 8-station configuration in 20-ft container (4 cubicles per side), 16-station in 40-ft container (8 per side), 24-station in extended-length configuration. Each shower cubicle includes dedicated thermostatic shower mixer, individual lighting, soap and shampoo dispenser mounting, towel hook, and effective drainage. Hot water is generated by central plant (gas or electric water heater sized to peak shower demand — typically 200-500 L tank capacity), with circulation loops to maintain water temperature at fixtures. Ventilation extracts moisture from shower zone (typical 15-20 air changes per hour) preventing mould growth and maintaining indoor air quality.
structmod modular container showers serve mining and oil & gas workforce camps (typically 1 shower station per 8-12 occupants), construction project camps, defence forces (peacekeeping bases, training establishments), large events (festivals, sporting events, political summits), and humanitarian deployments (refugee camps, disaster response, displaced population settlements). Lead time is 8-10 weeks from contract signature. EN 1090 EXC-2 structural, IEC 60364-7-701 medical electrical for shower installation safety, water connection per destination-country plumbing code, and waste water management per environmental regulations.
Typical deployment sequence
- Day 1 — site foundation verified, screw jacks or strip footings in place
- Day 2–3 — modules lifted into position by mobile crane
- Day 3–4 — inter-module connections and envelope sealing
- Day 4–5 — MEP connections, wet testing
- Day 5–6 — interior finish, fixtures and equipment install
- Day 7 — commissioning, FAT report, user training and handover
