Why Portastor?

Trust Portastor to deliver high-quality, bespoke equipment housings designed to perform in the most challenging environments - anywhere in the world

If you need robust, high-performance equipment housings manufactured and fully fitted out to stringent specifications by skilled specialists and installed anywhere in the world - Portastor can deliver. Here's how

Equipment housing for specific applications

Off-site construction for speed and quality assurance

All of our equipment housings are constructed off-site at our own purpose-built, 60-acre manufacturing facility in York, UK. Here we combine the very latest technological advances with exceptional engineering knowledge to achieve the highest-quality products.

Our innovative factory-based building methods can deliver your buildings up to 50% faster than traditional construction techniques. What's more, they deliver increased efficiency and safety, guaranteed quality and cost, consistency of specification, reduced project time and minimal disruption to your site.

Linking modules for spacious open-plan buildings

Bespoke buildings for every application

Whatever your requirement, our specialist project teams will create an equipment housing to suit the specific needs of your equipment and site. We have the capability to manufacture large single housings up to 30m by 6m and weighing up to 100 tonnes for delivery anywhere in the world. Linked-module buildings answer the need for spacious open-plan buildings to contain equipment on an even larger scale. Modules can be linked side-by-side or end-to-end to create buildings of any size or configuration to suit individual projects.

in the most challenging environments

Our robust, secure equipment housings are ideally suited for use in the most remote and inhospitable locations in the world. They deliver long-term performance in the harshest climatic conditions - from the extreme continental interior climate of central Europe to the tropical monsoon conditions of Southern Asia - for the Oil and Gas, Rail, Utility Power and Communications industries.

Your complete one-stop shop

Our business is structured to provide a project-led service, delivered by dedicated teams of multi-disciplinary specialists. You will enjoy a single point of contact with responsibility for your entire project, from concept to completion. Everything from design through to manufacture, delivery and ongoing maintenance is handled by experienced Portastor teams- vastly simplifying your project.

Quality assured products

With factory-built equipment housings from Portastor, you are assured of consistently high quality standards, with buildings manufactured under carefully controlled conditions. All work is performed by highly trained and experienced engineers working in an ISO 9001 certified environment.

All third-party operational and safety-critical equipment is installed and tested by our skilled personnel to create a complete integrated equipment housing, ready for delivery to your site.
