Increasingly, companies are recognising the need for more innovative building methods that deliver the advantages of increased efficiency, guaranteed quality and cost, consistency of specification, reduced build time-with no wet weather delays and minimised site disruption. Factory build fulfils this need.

Factory build is the manufacture of housings in a clean, efficient factory environment. This is an environment where the housings are engineered, manufactured and electrically and mechanically fitted out to meet project specific requirements. The housings are then delivered to site, where they are installed onto pre-prepared foundations.

An equipment housing specialist, Portastor manufactures integrated equipment housings and is a market leader in this build method. By combining the prime focus of fully satisfying customer needs with proven Portastor innovation, Portastor has further developed the factory build concept. Portastor can receive, fully manage and then install and integrate third party equipment into the already manufactured housing prior to delivery. The end result? An integrated product delivering real production line benefits to site based projects.
