The quoting process occurred before the containers were split, leaving minimal information about the available fixing methods for the false walls. Limited access during the initial inspection created uncertainty around the structural attachment points, installation methodology, and the time required to complete the project safely and efficiently.
The original concept involved drilling into the steel container structure and using mechanical fixings to secure the temporary wall framework. This approach was expected to be labour-intensive, time-consuming, and potentially difficult due to the unknown internal reinforcement within the modified containers. Until the containers were separated, AXIS could not accurately assess the structural configuration or determine whether a more efficient installation method was possible.
In addition, the false walls needed to provide a durable weatherproof enclosure capable of protecting the laboratory interior during handling, storage, and transport. The solution had to be robust enough to withstand lifting and freight operations while remaining economical and capable of being completed within the client’s required shipping schedule.
