What are containerised buildings?

The term ‘containerised building’ is used to refer to a shipping-type container that has been converted for use into a building. These are usually older 20foot or 40foot shipping containers whose inner and outer sides have been treated and re-coated (sprayed) for their use as server room or datacentre containers. Inside the container, the fit-out may include heating, lighting, air conditioning, server racks, UPS systems and electrical switchgear and connection points.
