Engineered for industry and process
Thurston designs and manufactures Portable Spaces, Permanent Buildings and Engineered Solutions for manufacturing, processing and other complex industrial environments.
From offices, welfare facilities and gatehouses to control buildings, equipment housing and specialist protected structures, we develop each solution around its operational use, site conditions, technical interfaces and required performance.
Our engineering, manufacturing and delivery teams work together to plan buildings around live operations, restricted access, existing infrastructure and demanding industrial programmes.
More than 50 years of UK manufacturing experience.
- £2.9m CATS blast-building project completed ahead of schedule with zero safety incidents
- 120m² office and welfare facility delivered for Layher UK in six weeks.
- Integrated security gatehouse and weighbridge facility delivered for Cargill.

Delivering around complex industrial operations
Working within live environments
Manufacturing and processing sites may need to remain operational throughout a project. Offsite manufacture can reduce the duration and volume of work required on site, with delivery and installation planned around permitted access, operational priorities and agreed working windows.
Developing around defined requirements
We work with customers and technical stakeholders to understand the building’s intended use, site conditions, equipment interfaces, services, environmental conditions and applicable safety requirements before manufacture begins.
Integrating people, equipment and services
Industrial buildings often need to accommodate operational teams, specialist equipment and building services within a limited footprint. We consider layout, access, maintenance requirements, environmental controls and supporting facilities during our design development.
Coordinating constrained delivery
Restricted access, vehicle movements, existing infrastructure, shutdowns and multiple contractors can all influence how a project is delivered. We plan manufacture, logistics and installation around the conditions of your site and wider programme.
Responding to performance-critical requirements
Where a project requires enhanced blast, toxic, fire, environmental or security performance, our solution is developed around clearly defined project criteria and the relevant testing, verification and assurance requirements
Solutions
Solutions for industrial and process environments
Portable Spaces
Relocatable offices, welfare spaces, security units and operational accommodation for temporary use, or changing and phased site requirements.
Permanent Buildings
Longer-term workplace, welfare, administrative and operational buildings developed around your site, workforce, estate and programme requirements.
Engineered Solutions
Control buildings, equipment housing, specialist containerised solutions and blast-resistant buildings developed around operating conditions and performance requirements.. Other engineered outputs include process equipment containers, generator housings and skid-mounted structures, with specifications developed around equipment interfaces and site requirements.
