Frequently asked questions

What is a customized container?

A customized container is a fully integrated technical enclosure in which installations, machinery, or energy systems can be housed safely, efficiently, and sustainably. Unlike standard containers, a custom container is designed entirely around the technical requirements of the installation and the client’s needs.

At ALARA, containers are used not only as protective enclosures but also as complete technical rooms. Sound insulation, ventilation, cooling, maintenance access, safety, and structural requirements are combined into a single integrated solution.

By designing each container specifically for the project, ALARA creates a durable solution that perfectly matches the application and its environment.

When should you choose a customized container?

A customized container is the right choice when a technical installation needs protection against weather conditions, noise emissions need to be reduced, or a complete installation needs to be installed or relocated as a single unit. Containers are commonly used when:

  • Installations are located outdoors
  • A mobile or relocatable solution is required
  • Equipment must be protected against weather conditions
  • Noise limits must be met
  • Multiple technical systems need to be integrated into one enclosure
  • On-site installation time needs to be minimized

Because the container is largely assembled in the factory, installation on site can often be completed more quickly and efficiently.

Which applications are customized containers suitable for?

ALARA develops customized containers for a wide range of technical applications across different sectors. Common applications include:

  • Emergency power installations
  • Diesel and gas generators
  • Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
  • Transformers
  • Water treatment installations
  • Pump systems
  • Compressor installations
  • Power plants
  • Data centers
  • Industrial process installations

Every application has different requirements regarding ventilation, safety, maintenance, and acoustics. For this reason, each container is fully tailored to the specific installation.

Can generator sets be fully integrated into a container?

Yes. One of the most common applications is the complete integration of generator sets into a custom container. ALARA can provide, among other things:

  • Sound insulation
  • Ventilation
  • Air intake and exhaust
  • Exhaust systems
  • Fire safety provisions
  • Lighting
  • Maintenance doors
  • Cable penetrations
  • Lifting provisions

This creates a fully integrated installation that is ready for use and meets the project’s

How is noise reduced inside a container?

Technical installations can generate significant noise emissions. Acoustics therefore form an important part of the design. ALARA combines various techniques to reduce noise, including:

  • High-quality acoustic insulation
  • Sound-absorbing interior lining
  • Acoustic ventilation ducts
  • Silencers
  • Vibration isolation
  • Optimized airflows

By carefully coordinating these techniques, noise can be effectively reduced without negatively affecting the performance of the installation.

How are ventilation and temperature controlled?

Proper ventilation is essential for the reliability of technical installations. Equipment such as generator sets and electrical systems produces heat that must be safely dissipated. For each container, ALARA therefore designs a ventilation concept based on:

  • Required cooling capacity
  • Heat generation
  • Airflow
  • Operating conditions
  • Required noise reduction

By designing ventilation and acoustics simultaneously, ALARA creates an efficient solution that keeps the installation operating optimally.

Which safety features can be integrated?

Depending on the application, a container can be equipped with a wide range of safety features. Examples include:

  • Fire detection
  • Fire suppression systems
  • Emergency lighting
  • Emergency escape provisions
  • Ventilation monitoring
  • Smoke extraction
  • Access control
  • Anti-slip floors
  • Explosion-proof components where required

The specific risks and project requirements are taken into account during the design process.

What dimensions are possible?

Because every container is custom-made, virtually any dimensions and configurations are possible.

In addition to standard container dimensions, non-standard widths, heights, and lengths can also be produced. The interior is also fully tailored to the technical installation and required maintenance space.

This creates an efficient layout while ensuring that all components remain easily accessible.

Are customized containers suitable for transport and relocation?

Yes. Many custom containers are designed for easy transportation and installation. A modular design is used to make on-site assembly as efficient as possible. This allows individual modules to be assembled and tested as completely as possible at ALARA’s production facility before being quickly and efficiently installed on site. Depending on the project, consideration is given to:

  • Lifting provisions
  • Transport dimensions
  • Structural loads
  • Foundation points
  • Anchoring systems
  • International transport regulations

This allows the container to be safely transported to its final location and quickly put into operation.

Are the containers suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. Most customized containers are specifically designed for long-term outdoor use. Depending on the environment, the design can take into account:

  • Corrosion-resistant materials
  • High-quality coatings
  • UV-resistant finishes
  • Water and dust resistance
  • Extreme temperatures
  • Maritime conditions

This ensures that the container continues to operate reliably even under demanding conditions.

What does the container design and production process look like?

Every project begins with an assessment of the technical requirements and project objectives. ALARA then typically follows these steps:

  1. Analysis of the application.
  2. Acoustic and technical engineering.
  3. 3D design and detailed engineering.
  4. Manufacturing of the container.
  5. Integration of technical installations.
  6. Quality control and testing.
  7. Transport to the project location.
  8. Installation and commissioning.

Because engineering and manufacturing are closely integrated, lead times are shortened and the quality of the final solution is assured..
