Pre-Fabricated Containers

Fliteway transforms standard shipping containers into purpose-built environmental treatment system enclosures. Our CONEX modifications include structural reinforcement, HVAC, electrical, lighting, insulation, and complete equipment integration — delivered as a turnkey system ready for field connection.

Why Containerized Systems?

Shipping container-based treatment systems offer a unique combination of durability, transportability, security, and cost-effectiveness that makes them ideal for environmental remediation applications. The steel structure provides weather protection, vandal resistance, and noise attenuation. The standardized dimensions allow transportation on standard flatbed trucks. And the enclosed format enables complete factory testing before field deployment.

Fliteway has built hundreds of containerized systems for SVE, groundwater treatment, PFAS treatment, air sparging, chemical injection, and product recovery applications. Our engineering team designs the interior equipment layout to maximize usable space while maintaining adequate clearances for operation, maintenance, and emergency egress.

Container Sizes & Configurations

8-Foot Mini Containers

Compact enclosures for instrument shelters, chemical storage, small pump stations, and single-component systems. Easily transported and placed with a standard forklift. Interior dimensions approximately 7'4" L x 7'2" W x 7'2" H.

20-Foot Standard Containers

The most common size for mid-range treatment systems. Houses blowers, pumps, GAC vessels, control panels, and piping on a single platform. Transportable without oversize permits. Interior dimensions approximately 19'4" L x 7'8" W x 7'10" H.

40-Foot Extended Containers

Large enclosures for complex multi-process treatment systems, high-capacity equipment, or systems requiring separate equipment and electrical rooms. Interior dimensions approximately 39'6" L x 7'8" W x 7'10" H.

Frequently Asked Questions

What container sizes does Fliteway modify for remediation equipment?
Fliteway modifies standard ISO shipping containers in 8-foot (mini), 20-foot, and 40-foot lengths as treatment system enclosures. The most common size is the 20-foot container, which provides enough interior volume for mid-size SVE, groundwater treatment, and PFAS treatment systems while remaining transportable on a standard flatbed truck without oversize permits. 40-foot containers are used for larger systems or when multiple process trains are housed in a single enclosure. 8-foot containers serve as instrument shelters, chemical storage rooms, and small pump enclosures.
What structural modifications does Fliteway make to shipping containers?
Structural modifications depend on the specific equipment and application but commonly include personnel door and equipment access door cutouts with structural reinforcement, ventilation louver openings, equipment penetration sleeves for piping and electrical conduit, interior structural steel framing for equipment mounting, removable roof panels or hatches for installing tall equipment, reinforced flooring for heavy equipment loads, and secondary containment sumps. All structural modifications are engineered to maintain the container structural integrity for transportation and stacking loads.
Can containerized systems be relocated to different project sites?
Yes. Relocatability is one of the primary advantages of containerized systems. CONEX-based treatment systems can be disconnected from site piping and power, loaded onto a flatbed truck, and transported to a new location. All external connections use quick-disconnect fittings (cam-locks for piping, pin-and-sleeve connectors for electrical) to simplify mobilization and demobilization. This makes containerized systems ideal for rental programs, multi-site remediation, and phased projects where equipment moves between locations.
How are containerized systems tested before delivery?
Every containerized system is fully assembled, pre-wired, pre-plumbed, and functionally tested at our Cudahy, Wisconsin fabrication facility before shipment. Testing includes point-to-point wiring verification, motor rotation checks, PLC and control system functional testing, hydrostatic pipe testing, instrument calibration, and a full system operational test (where possible without site-specific conditions). This factory testing ensures that field installation is limited to external piping and power connections, reducing commissioning time and minimizing field troubleshooting.
