Covered walkways built from shipping containers
A temporary covered walkway keeps the public, your crew and your site visitors out of the weather. Instead of renting scaffolding, plywood and tarps for weeks at a time, a shipping container becomes the walkway. It arrives on site complete, it is fully weathertight, and it locks up at night.
We build these pedestrian tunnels by joining two containers side by side or end to end, cutting the walk-through openings and removing the interior obstructions. The container walls carry the load, so the passage underneath is clear and wide enough for two people to pass comfortably.
Because the structure is made of steel, it survives wind, rain and being moved around a working site. When the project is finished the containers are lifted out and can be taken to the next job.
