The brief
A national fire and rescue service needed a fleet of ISO modules that could be moved by hook-lift and crane, stacked three high in a depot, deployed to an incident in any combination, and pressure-washed daily for two decades. Six functional types, one visual identity, one set of handling interfaces.
What was built
Scope, line by line
- WC and shower modules
- Laundry modules
- Material transport modules
- Septic tank modules
- Potable water tank modules
- Fuel tank modules
- Handling and site platforms
- All ISO 1CC, stackable three high, single fleet livery
Engineering decisions
What cost money, changed the design, or both
- 01
One handling interface across six different products.
Every module in the fleet keeps ISO 1161 corner castings and the same lifting and stacking geometry, whatever is inside it. That is what makes an arbitrary combination of modules deployable on the same vehicles and stackable in the same depot bay.
- 02
Stainless interiors on every wet module.
1.5 mm AISI 304 on walls and ceiling, 3 mm on the floor with a fall to a gully. The alternative finishes are cheaper on day one and gone by year five under daily pressure-washing.
- 03
Tanks inside the fleet, not alongside it.
Water, fuel and septic capacity was built into ISO-framed modules rather than bought as separate bowsers, so the same crane and the same vehicle handle the whole capability.

Delivery
How it got there and got accepted
Delivered in batches over several years against successive orders, in a single livery, with 24-month warranty and a spare-parts list per module type.
Outcome
What was delivered, what it proved
A multi-type fleet in service, the deepest fire-service reference in Tanax's book, and the origin of the stainless sanitary build that is now standard across the camp and defence lines.
