The construction landscape is experiencing a fundamental shift in how we approach infrastructure deployment. Temporary structures now serve as strategic assets rather than provisional solutions, with industries demanding shelter systems that combine rapid deployment with structural integrity.
Container domes represent this evolution with our relocatable shelter design, offering meticulously engineered solutions across diverse industrial applications.
Meeting Australia’s circular economy targets through temporary shade structures
Australia has set an ambitious national target to double its circularity rate by 2035, alongside a 10% reduction in per capita material footprint. Temporary shelter structures contribute directly to these objectives through their design principles.
Our work on the Cross River Rail Project in Brisbane demonstrates this in action. We deployed multiple container domes which were later relocated between sites as construction progressed, reducing the need for new permanent facilities, minimising waste, and maintaining full operational functionality at each stage.
Built for long-term strength and UV resistance of up to 20 years, our domes can be reused and repurposed across multiple projects. This durability ensures alignment with circular economy principles, delivering sustainable and adaptable infrastructure for Australia’s evolving industrial needs.
Engineering resilience for intensifying climate conditions
Australia is experiencing an increased frequency of droughts, floods, fires and heatwaves, and infrastructure resilience has transitioned from optional specification to a mandatory requirement.
Our container dome designs are cyclone rated and engineered to Wind Regions A, B, C or D, terrain category 2, per AS/NZS 1170.2021 to withstand these climate conditions.
Adaptive infrastructure for rapidly evolving operational requirements
Industrial sectors face accelerating change cycles that render permanent infrastructure inflexible. Container domes have standards spans from 6m to 21m however we can custom design any dimensions within the engineering/design restrictions. Key adaptability features include:
- Rapid deployment with Twistlock bracket mounting that eliminates hot works permit requirements
- No drilling or welding on hire containers, accelerating deployment timelines significantly
- Scalable configurations that expand without operational interruption
- Complete disassembly and relocation capability for changing project requirements
The modular design enables facilities to expand multiple times without operational interruption, creating infrastructure that aligns with business velocity without compromising safety compliance.
Future applications redefining temporary shelter structure deployment
The versatility of container dome design enables applications that extend beyond current deployment patterns:
Disaster relief operations
Emergency command centres, medical facilities, and equipment storage that deploy rapidly and withstand extreme conditions during natural disaster response.
Remote research environments
Climate-controlled workspaces for mining exploration camps, environmental monitoring stations, or scientific research facilities in locations where permanent construction proves impractical.
A large NSW Hydro Project was having issues with snow falling on critical equipment, causing issues with operations. We custom built, installed and engineered 25 domes to deal with the snow and wind loads of that area.
Urban commercial spaces
Pop-up retail environments, event venues, and temporary warehouse facilities that create functional space without long-term property commitments.
Material innovations to advance performance
Our high-performance Canvacon 7000E PE polyfabric covers deliver superior UV protection and weather resistance with a tear strength of 203/187 N. However, emerging composite materials under industry development demonstrate potential for improved thermal performance and reduced environmental footprint.
Research into integrated photovoltaic fabric systems could enable container domes in the future to generate operational power, transforming passive shelter into active energy infrastructure.
