PROJECT STORY

During the first week of December 2020, our mechanical division delivered a shipping container wash bay to a mining site in the Canadian Prairies. This project was a collaborative effort between all four divisions of Cobra Enterprises. Upon arrival, our building installers contributed by erecting the fabric building cover overtop the equipment wash bay in Saskatchewan, Canada.

Divisional Work Breakdown

– Cobra Construction completed the shipping container prefabrication

– Bison Container Homes supplied the shipping container foundation and structural design and material

– Cobra Mechanical installed all of the building’s electrical and heating systems (at their production shop and on-site)

– Cobra Structures supplied and installed the 72′ x 70′ fabric building cover

Wash Bay Features

The wash bay consists of two shipping containers: a 40’ long unit with three 1250-gallon greywater tanks used to store wastewater after someone washes any equipment. The second container is a 30’ long unit that houses three freshwater tanks equal in size, complete with the most important piece of equipment: the Hotsy Pressure washer/boiler.
