Manufacturing Capabilities

Market-leading skills and resources

All of our equipment housings are manufactured by our own skilled engineers at our efficient, purpose-built 60-acre plant near York, UK. Here, we not only have some of the most advanced manufacturing facilities in Europe, but also the expertise, technical knowledge and resources to develop bespoke solutions for individual requirements.

We have the capacity to handle projects from individual rail signalling rooms to major oil and gas control and automation centres, delivering completed buildings to your site ready for simple and rapid installation - no matter where you are in the world.

Unrivalled large building capability

Uniquely, we have the capability to produce single equipment housings up to 30m by 6m, weighing up to 100 tonnes. Modular buildings can be linked side-by-side or end-to-end to create units of any size or configuration to suit individual projects.

As an example of the complexity possible with our larger modular buildings, we delivered a 30m by 12m modular building weighing 200 tonnes and housing fully tested third-party equipment, itself weighing 100 tonnes. This entire blast and fire-resistant structure was supported two metres above the ground to permit simple electrical connection with minimal groundworks.

Engineered to global standards - for your peace of mind

Our equipment housings are designed and manufactured to meet the most stringent international quality standards in an ISO 9001 certified environment. Equipment housings can be manufactured to meet strict blast-resistance requirements and have achieved a minimum one-hour fire resistance for stability, integrity and insulation during rigorous tests.

Dedicated space to manage your entire project

On our vast manufacturing site in the UK we have ample space to receive, store and install all of the specialist third-party equipment for your buildings. All work is completed on site, with no need to transport equipment for storage or fitting elsewhere.

What's more, we have the space to provide safe, maintained storage for all of your completed products, before they are delivered to your site. Entire modular buildings can be linked and set up on our site for testing, and we have the space to store large numbers of individual units as they await delivery. For one of our major communications sector customers we safely stored more than 200 equipment housings on our premises, until the sites were ready to receive them.

You are welcome to visit our site to see the impressive facilities for yourself.

No environment too tough for Portastor

Portastor manufactures buildings for projects in some of the most demanding environments around the world, from the searing heat of the Arabian desert to the barren areas of central Europe where annual temperatures range from -40 °C in winter to +50 °C in summer.

Simplified logistics - for worldwide delivery

Our location close to a major UK port means that our equipment housings can be despatched quickly and efficiently to customers around the world. Such proximity to an international port also ensures cost-effective compliance with Highways Agency legislation on the transportation of abnormal loads.
