Objectives
Offshore equipment housing | Bespoke containers | Oil & gas | Client-specific engineering | Offshore deployment
Dynac required a series of specialist offshore containers to transport equipment from shore to offshore oil rigs.
Rather than selecting a standard container format and adapting the equipment around it, Thurston Group was appointed to design and manufacture four offshore-specification equipment housings around Dynac's requirements.
The project demonstrates another side of Thurston's Engineered Solutions capability: taking specialist equipment, operational requirements and an offshore destination and turning them into a practical, manufacturable container solution.
The Challenge
Dynac specialises in equipment for the oil and gas sector and required four offshore containerised units to transport specialist equipment to oil rigs.
The requirement called for more than generic cargo containers.
Each structure needed to be developed around the client's specification and intended offshore use, creating an engineered housing capable of accommodating the equipment while providing a practical format for deployment.
For Thurston, that meant starting with the requirement rather than a standard product: understanding what needed to be housed and transported, then developing the structure around it.
The Solution
Thurston undertook the structural design and manufacture of four offshore-specification modules.
The equipment housings used a robust corrugated construction and were developed specifically around Dynac's requirements, drawing on Thurston's experience in bespoke container solutions. That ability to work to exact specifications was central to the project. Rather than treating the container as a fixed product, the structure could be designed and developed around the equipment it needed to accommodate and the environment in which it would ultimately be deployed.
The four units were manufactured over a 16-week programme before being supplied to Dynac for use within its offshore operations.
The Result
Dynac received four purpose-designed offshore equipment housings manufactured around its specific operational requirements.
What this demonstrates
Equipment Housing capability
Four purpose-designed housings were manufactured around Dynac's specialist offshore equipment requirements.
Bespoke container engineering
The modules were developed to client-specific requirements rather than supplied as standard containers.
Offshore capability
The units were intended for the transport of equipment to offshore oil rigs, demonstrating application within the oil and gas sector.
Design and manufacture
Thurston undertook the structural design as well as manufacture of all four modules.
Engineering around the equipment
The project demonstrates a core Engineered Solutions principle: starting with what the customer needs the structure to do and engineering the physical solution around it.
Built on experience
The historic project record specifically notes Thurston's container expertise and ability to design, develop and manufacture solutions to exact customer specifications.
