Barum & Dewar has successfully delivered another repurposed container, this time for Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL), as part of the CarbSAR project. Delivered in September, this latest project highlights our expertise in extending the life of specialised containers and our commitment to sustainability.

The container, originally manufactured by Barum & Dewar in 2008, had already undergone modifications for a different project in 2017. This recent refurbishment stands as a prime example of maximising the lifespan of a product, despite its relatively long history in use.

Upon arrival at Barum & Dewar, the container was in quite a poor state of repair, requiring a complete strip-down. Many of the original and previously retrofitted components were replaced to meet the new specifications outlined by SSTL. A major challenge in this refurbishment was the need to increase the container’s load capacity. As a result, the base section underwent a significant overhaul and was thoroughly tested to ensure it fully complied with SSTL's requirements for the CarbSAR mission.

As a client of B&D since 2008, this project is testament to our long-standing collaboration and shared commitment to quality, re-use, and repurposing. The successful delivery of the repurposed container demonstrates our ability to adapt and innovate, helping clients achieve their goals while maintaining a focus on sustainability and operational efficiency.
