​In the demanding world of offshore operations, where safety and reliability are non-negotiable, the integrity of every piece of equipment is paramount. This is especially true for offshore containers and their lifting equipment, which face extreme conditions daily. At TLS, we understand these challenges, which is why our containers are not just built to meet, but to exceed, the industry's most stringent standards, including DNV 2.7-1 and EN 12079.

These international standards aren't just guidelines; they're the bedrock of safety in offshore environments. They dictate everything from the design and manufacturing to the rigorous testing and certification processes that ensure an offshore container can withstand the immense stresses of its operational life. For TLS containers, this commitment to excellence is deeply embedded in our DNA.

The Gauntlet of Tests: What Makes TLS Containers Truly Robust
Before any TLS offshore container is deployed, it undergoes a series of intensive tests designed to simulate the harshest real-world conditions. These aren't just checks; they're comprehensive evaluations that prove the container's resilience and reliability.

1. All Point Lifting Test: Proving Structural Integrity Under Pressure
Imagine a container loaded with 2.5 times its rated payload (2.5R−T). During this test, the container is lifted simultaneously from all four corners and held for five minutes. This critical assessment allows us to precisely measure any deformation of the bottom frame, ensuring that the container's core structure can handle maximum loads without compromise.

2. Two-Point Lifting Test: Simulating Real-World Lifting Scenarios
Offshore operations aren't always perfectly balanced. The two-point lifting test simulates less-than-ideal lifting conditions. With the internal weight reduced to 1.5 times the rated payload (1.5R−T), we again meticulously measure the bottom frame deformation. This guarantees the container's stability and integrity even when lifted unevenly.

3. Fork Pocket Lifting Test (When Applicable): Strengthening Critical Interfaces
For containers equipped with fork pockets, this test is vital. With a weight of 1.6 times the rated payload (1.6R−T), the container is lifted via its fork pockets and held for five minutes. Whether by securing the fork arms or using a forklift directly for smaller containers, this test verifies the strength and durability of these crucial lifting points, preventing structural failure.

4. Vertical Impact Test: Designed for the Dynamic Offshore Environment
Perhaps the most telling test for offshore containers is the vertical impact test. This simulates the dynamic forces of being lifted and placed at sea, specifically designed to identify weaknesses from sudden impacts. With the container loaded to its rated payload (R−T), it's lifted with specially installed shackles and wire rope slings. The lift point is adjusted to create a 5-degree tilt in the bottom side beam, ensuring the highest point of the bottom frame is no more than 400mm above the lowest, and the lowest point is at least 5cm from the ground.

Then, the container is free-fallen by quickly releasing the shackle. After this controlled impact, every structural part of the container is thoroughly inspected for any cracks or damage. This stringent evaluation ensures that TLS containers can withstand the inevitable impacts of offshore operations, maintaining their structural integrity and protecting valuable cargo and personnel.

At TLS, our commitment to safety and reliability is unwavering. Through these rigorous testing protocols, we provide offshore containers that offer unmatched durability and peace of mind in the most challenging maritime environments.

​When it comes to the relentless demands of the offshore environment, compromise isn't an option. Equipment, supplies, and most importantly, personnel, rely on robust and reliable infrastructure. That's where TLS Offshore Containers steps in, with a commitment to manufacturing containers that don't just meet, but exceed, the industry's most stringent quality and durability standards.

So, what goes into building a container that can withstand the harshest ocean conditions? It’s a meticulous process, guided by expertise and an unwavering focus on safety and longevity.

The Foundation of Strength: Expert Welding & Structural Integrity
Every TLS offshore container begins with its backbone: the frame. We understand that structural integrity is paramount. That's why every primary weld on our container frames is performed by a certified welder, utilizing full penetration welding techniques. This isn't just about joining metal; it's about creating an unbreakable bond. To further ensure this critical step, third-party inspections meticulously verify the quality of each weld. Only after rigorous approval is the container coated with specialized marine-grade coatings, providing an essential shield against the relentless corrosion of saltwater.

Stability from the Ground Up: Precision Floor Installation
The floor of an offshore container is more than just a surface; it's a vital component of its overall stability and durability. At TLS, we start by laying calcium silicate plates on the lower deck, followed by the integration of fixed steel mesh for superior reinforcement. Careful placement of upper deck and floor dressings ensures a perfectly smooth and even surface. Our quality inspectors then conduct thorough assessments to guarantee the floor meets strict flatness standards, crucial for both safety and optimal functionality.

Comfort & Safety: The Role of Advanced Insulation
Life and work offshore demand comfortable and, more importantly, safe environments. TLS prioritizes this with high-quality insulation materials like rock wool. This insulation isn't just applied; it's carefully layered with adequate overlap and secured using fireproof tape. This meticulous approach ensures optimal temperature control and provides critical protection against fire, a paramount concern in offshore operations.

Seamless Functionality: Integrated Pipe, Air, and Cable Systems
A truly effective offshore container needs to seamlessly support essential utilities. TLS pays extra attention to the installation of water pipes, air pipes, and electrical cables. Pre-laid insulation and precisely positioned supporting booms on the top plate secure and align these systems, ensuring proper connection and optimal functionality. This dedication to detail guarantees the container is not only safe but also fully efficient for its intended offshore use.

The Interior Experience: Aesthetic and Functional Paneling
Beyond the robust exterior, the interior paneling contributes significantly to both the aesthetics and practicality of the container. TLS ensures every trim wall panel is installed with precision, resulting in smooth, flat surfaces. The fixing slots are prepared with meticulous care, and panels are installed with neat, straight splicing gaps, creating a polished and professional internal space that enhances usability.

Ready for Occupancy: Furniture & Appliance Installation
Once the structural elements are complete, the container transforms into a functional living or working space with the installation of furniture and appliances. TLS strictly adheres to preliminary design drawings for accurate furniture placement. Qualified professionals handle all power connections, and every connection undergoes rigorous inspections to guarantee safety and reliability. This ensures that every piece of furniture and every appliance meets the highest standards of quality and function.

The Final Seal of Approval: Rigorous Testing & Acceptance
At TLS, we don't consider a container complete until it has undergone an exhaustive quality assurance process. We employ a variety of testing and acceptance methods, including on-site inspections, video inspections, and graphic inspections, to thoroughly evaluate every aspect of the container's performance. Only after successfully passing these stringent checks is a container approved for shipment, assuring our clients that every TLS offshore container meets their exact requirements and expectations.
