Uses for Portable Storage Containers: North Virginia Construction Sites

Published: August 15, 2019

If you manage a construction site, then you already realize that there are a great deal of moving parts. Anywhere you look, rooms are getting wired, plumbing is being installed, supplies are getting delivered, and on and on. Organization is key to ensuring that materials, equipment, and workers are all in the right place at the right time.

Organization in itself can be a difficult task, however. Thankfully, with some added help in the form of portable storage containers, you can keep essential equipment and supplies safely accessible, organized, and out of harm’s way all at the same time. For tips from UNITS Moving & Portable Storage of North Virginia on how utilizing portable storage containers can improve efficiency at your construction site, read on!

Protect Inventory, Supplies, and Tools

The supplies, materials, and equipment used on a construction site go for a pretty penny. If any of these items get damaged, that can mean major setbacks for both the construction schedule and a construction company’s bottom line. By securing these items in a portable storage container, you can protect against damage and theft.

Keep First Aid and Safety Equipment Easily Accessible

Construction sites can be dangerous places, and any misstep or accident can cause serious injuries to workers, or even death. Hard hats and steel toe boots are necessary for a reason, but the greatest strategy to keeping employees safe is keeping the job site organized.

With a mobile storage container as a resource, items can find a home and remain out of the way when they are not in use. The same thing goes for materials; there’s no need to have drywall, wiring, and paint all out when you are installing the foundation. Leaving everything out can create unnecessary hazards. Having a home inside a secure container minimizes the possibility of disorganization, and, as a consequence, any danger that may be caused by it.

Added Convenience and Flexibility

The most obvious advantage a mobile container can bring is its flexibility and convenience. Being mobile means it can arrive on any day your project needs it to, and be taken out of the way just as easily. If it makes sense in one location on the job site during initial phases of the project, it can be moved to other locations as the project progresses. It will work for you and your site.
