Whether it’s hot and humid conditions, downpours or storms, or dry and dusty conditions, sometimes workers need a place to rest or escape the elements. The work environment on the construction site can be harsh. Shipping containers can also be moved from place to place on the construction site or even from one project site to another once work is finished.
