When it comes to keeping your workforce safe, there are many options to consider. Personal protective equipment and other items such as forklifts, tie downs, ladders, and more that make employees safe on the jobsite are usually what come to mind—but what about the office or storage building to house workers, tools, and equipment?

Further, what about the safety of the building that employees work out of, especially in high-risk industrial areas such as plants or refineries? You cannot stop every incident, but being prepared can help you avoid them. Satellite Shelters provides safe modular space and equipment options that were built with your safety in mind and can help your plant or refinery keep running smoothly.

Modular Buildings

Satellite’s modular buildings are manufactured in a factory-controlled environment to the same standards as traditional construction but are able to be built quickly and economically. Modular buildings are built as individual units and shipped to your job site in pieces. Once all the pieces are on site, the individual units are assembled to create your building design.

Modular buildings can be used for a variety of uses, and their design is limited only to what you need. They can include restrooms, plumbing, kitchens, locker rooms, HVAC, and more.

Mobile Offices

Mobile offices come in single- or double-wide configurations in a variety of sizes and floor plans. Their most common use is for contractor offices on traditional construction sites, but they’re also used as temporary office space for hiring trailers, cooling or warming stations for special events, or even for ticket sales and guard houses.

Single-wide sizes range from 8×20 to 12×60 and can include private offices and restrooms. Our standard double-wide size is 24×60 which contains four private offices and a large open area for a conference room or cubical office space.

Storage Containers

Satellite’s storage containers come in two sizes: 8×20 and 8×40. They have corrugated steel sides and are wind and watertight to keep your materials dry and protected. Large cargo doors allow entry for pallet loading and unloading, and a security lock box can be installed.
