Special Container Projects

Built for Manufacturability

If you're looking for a custom shipping container, here's how Falcon approaches special container projects, configured beyond our standard library but still built to be manufactured reliably and delivered on a defined schedule.

Every specialized configuration is built on a proven design system. Rather than open-ended design-build, Falcon configures container-based structures within defined parameters, which is what keeps production moving and outcomes predictable.

Most Falcon projects rely on standardized elements and established modification options because they keep production flowing and timelines intact. However, some customer needs fall outside our standard offerings.

When the fit is right, we take on more advanced configuration work as a special container project.

Our Approach

Falcon's standard floor plans and modification options address the majority of customer requirements, allowing us to deliver consistent quality, cost control, and repeatability. 

If a project has requirements that extend beyond our standard process, we'll explore the opportunity as a special container project.

These may involve new layouts or multi-container configurations, but they are always assessed based on how efficiently they can be designed, built, and delivered within Falcon’s factory environment. Every special-project modification is reviewed early for manufacturability and fit with Falcon’s production capabilities. This ensures each solution can be delivered with clarity and confidence.

Step 1: Define the Scope & Intent

Every special-project modification is reviewed early for manufacturability and fit with Falcon’s production capabilities. Falcon works with customers to align on how the structure will be used and deployed, ensuring the scope supports efficient design and execution.

Step 2: Determine the Right Design Approach

With scope defined, Falcon identifies the most effective design path. This may include adapting existing container modification elements, developing a new configuration, or combining multiple containers. Decisions are guided by manufacturability and efficient execution.

Step 3: Determine the Build Approach

Some projects benefit from a prototype, while others move directly into production based on defined requirements. Falcon evaluates each project and recommends the approach that best supports a clean build.

Step 4: Finalize for Manufacturing

Once the design path is confirmed, Falcon finalizes drawings, specifications, and production plans. Whether the project is a one-time build or a foundation for future deployments, the design is locked to support efficient manufacturing and predictable outcomes.

Step 5: Build & Deploy

All special projects are built in Falcon’s state-certified factory and delivered on a defined schedule. Each modified shipping container receives the same focus on quality, safety, and reliability as Falcon’s standard offerings.

Is a Special Container Project the Right Fit?

Falcon’s facilities, production layout, and processes are designed to support efficient execution. Not every idea or approach fits within those constraints.

As part of early conversations, we work with customers to determine whether a project is a good fit. In some cases, we may recommend a different solution or pass on a project if it does not align with our design and manufacturing capabilities.

If you are looking for a traditional design-build partner or a highly bespoke concept developed without production constraints in mind, Falcon is probably not the right fit. Our focus is on configured container structures that meet your operational needs and can be designed, built, and delivered with confidence.

FAQ: Special Container Projects

Does Falcon build custom shipping containers?

Falcon's focus isn't on blank-sheet build processes. We configure container structures within proven, manufacturable parameters. Projects that fall outside our standard library are handled as special container projects, with attention to detail and a goal of repeatability. Open-ended design-build services typically fall outside the work we do.

Can Falcon configure conex containers beyond the standard floor plans?

Yes. Falcon modifies conex containers and ISO shipping containers for industrial and commercial use, evaluating each project for fit within our production environment.

How are modified shipping containers different from standard containers?

Modified shipping containers are adapted to support occupancy, equipment housing, or operational requirements while maintaining structural integrity and factory efficiency.

Case Studies: Special Container Projects

featured case study:

NexE EV Equipment Enclosures

Falcon developed a purpose-built container enclosure for NexE, a sister company of TECO Westinghouse, to house critical EV charging equipment. The solution balanced environmental protection, safety requirements, and efficient deployment, with a design suited for repeat use across installations.

Have a Project Outside the Standard Library?

Let's See If Your Project Is a Fit

If you believe your project aligns with this approach, we would be glad to explore it with you.

Our team will work with you to assess fit, determine the right design path, and recommend an execution strategy that supports your goals and Falcon’s manufacturing principles.
