How to Build a Compliant Laboratory in Offshore Limited Spaces?

Deploying a laboratory on offshore platforms, FPSOs, or drilling vessels is never easy. Confined spaces, strict safety requirements, and limited on-site resources make conventional lab setups difficult, yet reliable sample analysis, water testing, or chemical handling remain essential.

The Offshore Laboratory Container developed by TLS offers a modular solution tailored to offshore applications, combining compliance, safety, and flexibility in a single engineered unit.

Compact, Integrated, Purpose-Built
Designed within a standard 20ft or 40ft container footprint, TLS offshore lab units optimize every inch of interior space through thoughtful planning and integrated systems:

• Fully equipped with lab benches, anti-corrosion flooring, cabinets, and sinks
• Ventilation hoods, air extraction, and gas piping systems ensure safe operation
• Built-in electrical panels, explosion-proof lights, and sockets for easy use
• Delivered as a plug-and-play solution—ready to operate with minimal platform intervention

Space-saving, user-friendly, and deployment-ready, it’s a reliable solution for offshore laboratory needs.

Engineered for Offshore Conditions
Offshore environments pose unique technical and safety challenges. TLS lab containers are engineered with these realities in mind:

• Explosion-proof options: Electrical systems can be configured for Zone 1 / Zone 2 hazardous areas
• Weather-resistant design: All materials and components are selected for reliable performance in offshore settings
• Structural integrity: Reinforced container bodies support long-term use in vibration-prone or motion-heavy locations
• Standards-compliant: Built to meet general offshore project standards and inspection requirements

TLS containers are not just functional—they’re built to endure demanding offshore work environments.

Modular Customization for Versatile Testing Needs
From routine inspections to emergency response, every offshore project has unique testing demands. TLS containers offer modular configurations such as:

• Chemical handling and storage modules
• Crude oil/water sample prep and analysis sections
• Cleaning sinks, waste liquid collection systems
• Optional features: gas bottle racks, refrigeration units, filtration systems, UPS backup

No matter the mission, TLS delivers lab containers designed around your operational needs.

Conclusion:

​In offshore environments where space is limited and reliability is critical, TLS Offshore Laboratory Containers provide a safe, compliant, and deployable lab space without compromise.

Whether used for long-term operations or temporary testing campaigns, our lab containers help you maintain control, accuracy, and safety—right where you need it.
