The Modulate Group is expanding its portfolio with the introduction of new generations of portable, Australian-made container-based buildings, designed to meet the evolving needs of industries such as mining, energy, and construction.
These innovative structures, which include stackable and double-width 4.5m-wide units, are gaining traction across the country for their flexibility, durability, and ease of transport.
Engineered from standard 20ft, 30ft, and 40ft container templates, the cyclone-rated buildings are designed to be robust and adaptable, making them ideal for industries that require mobile, comfortable, and fully equipped facilities.
As market demands shift, these buildings can be easily relocated, offering a practical solution for fast-paced environments, Modulate said in a news release.
“With a design life of 25 years under heavy use and minimal maintenance, our buildings are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of sectors such as mining, energy, infrastructure, construction, and government projects,” said Jack Adams, general manager of Modulate.
“These quality structures are not just cost-effective but also provide the reliability needed for repeat use in various sectors,” he added.
To ensure high standards and reliable delivery, Modulate has invested in a state-of-the-art 20,000 sq m production facility in Mayfield, Newcastle.
This facility, divided into specialised zones for assembly, construction, fabrication, painting, and final fit-out, allows the company to manage production and customisation entirely in-house.
The integrated approach ensures stringent quality control, compliance with statutory regulations, and the inclusion of top safety and comfort features tailored to individual site needs.
Modulate’s buildings stand out for their extensive range of customisations. Options include wider-than-standard floor plans that offer up to 87 per cent more space, stackable designs to save site space, and robust portability that ensures safe and easy transport.
These buildings also feature high-quality doors, windows, insulation, and electrical systems, all engineered to withstand the demands of harsh environments and long-distance transport.
The buildings’ durability is further enhanced by twist-lock secure fixing, adapted from standard container lock configurations, which anchors them during transport and eliminates the need for additional securing methods.
Backed by a design life expectancy of 25 years, a structural warranty of 10 years, and a general warranty of one year, Modulate’s buildings are built to last.
“Modulate Group set out with a clean sheet of paper to produce flexible ranges of buildings that speak the language of markets focussed on quality, safety, compliance and cost-efficiency,” said Adams.
“This approach – many elements of which are patented – has attracted repeat interest from major mining, construction and infrastructure groups that prefer to deal with single-source suppliers who match their own world standards of performance,” he concluded.
