Climate-controlled on-site laboratory and sampling containers for water-quality testing, QA and compliance at remote hot-climate plants where the nearest accredited lab is hundreds of kilometres away.
Container type — in the hot-climate programme
At a remote desert plant the nearest accredited laboratory may be a day's drive away, yet discharge consent, potable compliance and process control all depend on timely, reliable analysis. An on-site laboratory container brings that capability to the fence line — provided it is engineered so sensitive instruments and reagents survive the climate.
We build laboratory and sampling containers as insulated, air-conditioned, dust-sealed modules with stable bench temperature for gravimetric and spectrophotometric work, fume extraction, reagent and sample cold storage, and potable-grade plumbed water. Bench layout, power conditioning and lighting are set up for genuine analytical work, not improvised testing on a desk.
The lab complements the plant's online analysers: it provides the periodic reference checks that keep the I&C container's pH, turbidity and chlorine instruments honest, plus the wet-chemistry, microbiological and compliance testing that online sensors cannot cover — all logged for an auditable QA record.

| Standard | Scope | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| ISO 668 / ISO 1496 | Container dimensions & specification | ISO series-1 freight-container form factor and strength |
| ISO 1161 | Corner castings | Standard lifting/securing points for crane and twist-lock |
| CSC 1972 | Container Safety Convention | Safety-approval plate for stacking and handling |
| IEC 60529 | IP ingress protection | Dust/water rating of the enclosure and entries |
| AS/NZS 4020 / WRAS / NSF 61 | Potable-water materials | Safe water supply to the lab bench |
| ISO/IEC 17025 (aligned) | Laboratory competence | QA practice for defensible results |
| Reagent / COSHH handling | Chemical safety | Safe storage and use of lab reagents |
Because consent, potable and process-control decisions can't wait for samples to travel hundreds of kilometres to an accredited lab. An on-site laboratory container delivers timely, reliable analysis at the plant, with an auditable QA record.
The container is insulated, air-conditioned and dust-sealed to hold a stable bench temperature, with cooled storage for reagents and samples so neither degrades in the desert heat — the same climate discipline as the control container.
No — it complements them. The lab provides the periodic reference checks that keep the online pH, turbidity and chlorine analysers calibrated, plus wet-chemistry, microbiological and compliance testing the online sensors cannot perform.
Yes — lab plumbing uses potable-grade materials to AS/NZS 4020, WRAS or NSF/ANSI 61, the same drinking-water material standards applied across the welfare and process fit-out.
