MODALART CONTAINER HOUSE IN THE CATSKILLS, NEW YORK

 

Wilton, Connecticut, USA, September 2020

 

ModalART was awarded an exciting project entailing the procurement, modification (including cutouts and reinforcements,) painting, plus delivery of rare shipping containers for a spectacular residential housing project in the picturesque Catskills of New York.

 

Only because ModalART has a deep network of equipment suppliers and vendors, of steamship and leasing companies, and container manufacturers, we managed to successfully procure very rare 20' and 45' High Cube shipping containers for the construction of this amazing post-industrial gem.

 

ModalART completed all work to the exacting drawings and specifications of the architect in early November. All structural steel components passed quality control tests and met the requirements to be incorporated in this state-of-the-art residential building.

 

ModalART delivered all components by two tractor trailers to the building site simultaneously. There they were lifted off the trailers and set on concrete foundations in a single day. The builder and his great crew took over from there, see latest updates

MODALART launches PORTABLE HAZMAT CONTAINER FOR THE SAFE STORAGE OF CORROSIVE, FLAMMABLE AND COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS IN THE FRACKING / OIL & GAS Industry

 

Norwalk, Connecticut, USA, May 2018

 

Our customer supplies drilling fluids to rig sites of the fracking / oil & gas industries, and to areas ranging from Texas into Canada, and along the Marcellus Shale, reaching from Pennsylvania into the State of New York.

 

ModalART was asked to design a portable 20' container with open side doors, easy forklift access, that would hold two 55' gallon drums or 275 gallon totes stacked two high and two deep. (These width and height requirements exceed those of a 20' High Cube ISO shipping container!) Each unit needed to hold sixteen totes. 

 

In addition, any leakages would need to spill into a secure containment sump that could hold at least 275 gallons. (Our solution provides for 680 gallons!)

 

Frequent moves by truck on public roadways within the US was one of the many other requirements.

 

After many months and numerous design iterations, ModalART met the demanding design standards of its customer. For details, see our custom designed container for Chemical, and other Hazardous Liquids with Spill Containment.

MODALART WINS CONTAINER REFURBISHMENT PROJECT FOR THE SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES IN RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL, 2016.

Stamford, Connecticut, USA, Summer 2015

ModalART has successfully completed the refurbishment of eighty-two shipping containers for the Rio 2016 Olympics.

Our customer used this equipment to ship valuable telecommunications equipment to the Olympic Games and needed to ensure that its containers had both the structural integrity to protect its assets in transit, and meet the legal requirements of overseas shipping.

ModalART gave these aged containers a new lease on life by repairing, painting, and re-certifying them for overseas travel for the next decade.

They were sent to the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Thereafter they will be dispatched to the Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, and to Olympic Games beyond.

ModalART completed the project on schedule, on budget, and to the full satisfaction of its customer.

ModalART WINS CONTRACT TO REFURBISH 82 Shipping containers for THE rio 2016 Olympic Games

Stamford & Norwalk, Connecticut, USA,
Summer 2015

 

1) SITUATION

Our customer owns 82 plus shipping containers in East Granby, Connecticut. Its units were old, decrepit, and no longer CSC certified for international shipping. With the Rio 2016 Olympics looming, and the need to ship its telecommunications equipment abroad, our customer had to find a reliable shipping container refurbishment company that could repair, paint, and re-certify its shipping containers to its discerning standards on time.

Moreover, the goal was to give these containers a new lease on life for another ten plus years so that they could be reused at the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics, the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics, and the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

2) CHALLENGES

Non-negotiable Project Deadline

When many large-scale projects miss their completion dead-line (for instance, a dam is not completed before the rainy season begins), the worst consequences are generally limited to budget overruns. Failure of meeting the final deadline for completion generally does not equate to the failure of the entire project.

However, when catering to the Olympic games, there is zero margin for error and delay. The Games will commence on a given date irrespectively. Thus, the success of this container refurbishment project would be a key element for ensuring that our customer's telecommunications infrastructure could be deployed timely for the internationally televised broadcast of the 2016 Rio Games.

 Key Deliverables within a Very Tight Time Frame:

  • Container Integrity: The physical integrity of the refurbished containers would need to meet the "Cargo Worthy" grade, or the quality standard that containers need to meet before steamship lines will move them overseas.
     

  • Certification: It would be imperative that the refurbished containers be issued with valid CSC certifications and that the proper decals and plates be attached to the equipment. CSC is an international container identification standard administered and monitored by the Bureau International des Containers (BIC) which identifies all containers in service and their respective owners world-wide. Containers without valid CSC markings could simply not have been permitted to be shipped to Rio.

 Location - Shipping Container "No-Man's Land."

East Granby is located just north of Hartford, Connecticut, and a hundred plus miles away from any major US shipping ports and container repair facilities.

This meant that our customer would have had to have its equipment shipped to Boston or New Jersey for refurbishment and then back to East Granby at very substantial cost. In fact, the cumulative cost of repairs and transport could have easily surpassed the cost of simply purchasing entirely new containers. However, purchasing new units would have had serious downsides: Our customer would have been left with 82 surplus containers with no takers, and the prospect of paying indefinite storage expenses for equipment it did not need.

Faced with this dilemma, our customer turned to ModalART for help in late 2014. ModalART was asked to provide services, and a repair facility that met all of the below criteria:

  • Facilities: Factory building in close proximity to East Granby which is outfitted with an extensive air filtration system that is in full compliance with the legal requirements of the Clean Air Act, and Connecticut building codes pertaining to industrial manufacturing, and, of course fully licensed and insured;

  • Expertise: Operations with extensive industry expertise in shipping container repair and re-certification capabilities, plus the ability to ramp up production to guarantee that the final deadlines would be met without fail.

  • Staff: Short and medium-term availability of qualified and experienced personnel that would be fully dedicated to meeting project deadlines and capable of meeting customer's discerning quality standards.

 3) SOLUTION AND IMPLEMENTATION

 After many months of project planning iterations,

  • the project processes were structured and mutual responsibilities of collaboration defined,

  • an execution plan was laid out; deliverables and project benchmarks defined, and

  • the legal framework agreed upon.

ModalART dedicated a plant to this project that not only met, but even surpassed facility specifications. Just a few miles away from our customer's warehouse, our factory was geared toward the repair and modification of reefers (refrigerated containers) and could render refurbishment services at the highest degree.

The stage was set to have ten units refurbished, and transported to and fro from our customer's facilities to ModalART's factory on a weekly basis. In the meantime, ModalART manufactured new container identification plates in the Midwest that conformed to CSC standards. They were subsequently attached to the containers and ensured that our customer's containers had a smooth transit to Rio and back to the USA.

 

ModalART completed the entire project on schedule, on budget, and to the full satisfaction of its customer.
