Bespoke Engineered Solutions
Engineered for complex energy environments
Thurston designs and manufactures Portable Spaces, Permanent Buildings and Engineered Solutions for nuclear, hydrogen, CHP and offshore energy projects.
From project accommodation and operational buildings to equipment housing, control rooms and specialist containers, we develop each solution around its intended use, site conditions, equipment interfaces, regulatory requirements and required performance.
Our engineering-led approach brings design, controlled manufacture, inspection and testing together, helping our customers to manage technical risk while delivering spaces that are ready to perform in demanding real-world environments.
- More than 20 years of nuclear-container experience.
- Experience developing containerised solutions for hydrogen applications.
- Specialist offshore-container manufacturing and testing capability.
- More than 50 years of UK manufacturing experience.

Delivering where performance and assurance matter
Working around live and restricted sites
Nuclear, hydrogen, CHP and offshore energy projects can involve hazardous, highly controlled or operational environments. Delivery, access and installation are therefore planned around the site’s safety requirements, security protocols and permitted working arrangements.
Integrating equipment and technical interfaces
Equipment layout, access, mechanical and electrical services, ventilation, environmental controls and ongoing maintenance requirements can all influence the building. Our engineering and manufacturing teams consider how all of these interfaces work together to develop a practical, manufacturable solution.
Maintaining control through manufacture
By producing more of the solution within our controlled facilities we are able to provide greater visibility over materials, assembly, inspection and quality. This can also reduce the work required on site and allow manufacture to progress alongside enabling works and groundworks
Supporting every stage of the project
Energy projects may require temporary accommodation and welfare during construction, permanent operational buildings or highly specialised engineered structures. Our three solutions capabilities allow us to respond according to each building’s intended use, lifespan, performance and programme.
Solutions
How we meet the challenges of energy
Portable Spaces
Relocatable project offices, welfare, changing and drying facilities, secure project storage and workforce accommodation.
Permanent Buildings
Long-term workplace, welfare and operational buildings developed around the estate, workforce and programme. Offsite manufacture can progress alongside groundworks to help reduce activity at the project site.
Engineered Solutions
Equipment housing, electrolyser housings, control buildings and specialist containers developed around equipment interfaces, operating conditions and defined performance requirements. Outputs include containerised equipment housings and bespoke nuclear solutions, with specifications determined by the project.

Quality, Safety & Assurance
Our independently assessed management systems and recognised industry standards provide customers with confidence in the quality, safety, environmental responsibility and control behind how we manufacture and deliver.
Assurance for complex energy requirements
Energy projects can involve regulated sites, specialist equipment and demanding operational or environmental conditions. We establish the applicable technical standards, equipment interfaces, inspection requirements and certification route around each project.
Where independent testing, inspection or certification is required, we can coordinate the service through our UK partners. Offshore containers and portable units can also be developed to applicable ISO, DNV and CSC requirements where specified.
