The versatility of modular buildings for emergency services
31st October 2023
Modular buildings are incredibly versatile and can be used for various purposes within the emergency services industry. This could be anything from providing office headquarters to additional space for training facilities. Modular construction provides an efficient building solution for emergency services.
Emergency services, such as police, fire and rescue, ambulance facilities and hospitals, require flexible building solutions. Installing these buildings must create minimal disruption to the vital, often lifesaving, work being completed by emergency services.
Full range of emergency service applications
Portable and modular buildings can be configured for a wide range of emergency service applications, including:
- Training rooms
- Temporary offices
- Sleeping accommodation
- HQ office facilities
- Processing facilities
- Workshops
- Disaster relief
This versatility makes modular buildings an appropriate solution across many emergency service sectors.
Quality modular buildings for emergency services
The exceptional quality of modular buildings makes them versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications.
Quality control is hugely important for emergency services, as these buildings must meet specialist health and safety regulations. Our experience in this sector guarantees quality that meets these regulations and industry standards.
Modular and portable buildings are made in a factory, which ensures a level of quality control impossible on a traditional building site. Factors such as weather have no impact on the construction of modular buildings.
Cost-effective modular buildings
As well as improving quality control, factory construction also makes modular and portable buildings a more cost-effective option for emergency services. This is due to reduced transportation and onsite build costs.
Modular buildings allow emergency services to get the most out of budgets while receiving high-quality, durable and versatile buildings.
Quick installation of modular buildings
Portable buildings are installed 70% quicker than traditional buildings. This is excellent news for emergency services, which require facilities as soon as possible.
Quick installation does not only mean that your facilities are up and running in no time but also that disruption to surrounding areas is minimised.
Portable buildings can be relocated and quickly installed elsewhere. This means that as environments and situations change, so can the location of the portable building, making them incredibly versatile.
Experience working with emergency services.
Portable Building Sales has a wealth of experience providing modular, portable, and temporary buildings to various sectors, including emergency services.
Modular HQ for Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance
Portable Building Sale was contacted by Roger Linnell of the Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance to provide a new modular building for the team’s headquarters.
In May 2014, we produced a detailed drawing and quotation. Not only did the Lincs & Notts Air ambulance team prefer the sleek and modern aesthetic of our Clearview modular buildings, but our cost for a new building was less than a refurbished used modular building from a competitor.
Over the next few months, we worked beside the Air Ambulance and RAF Waddington team to install foundations for the building. In May 2015, we delivered and installed the modular building and completed the project by providing a free decking area.
“We were thrilled with the finished product, and this has enabled our crew to have more appropriate working facilities, but more importantly, it has improved our response time to our patients.” -Roger Linnell, Air Operations Manager.
Modular Training facility for Lincoln Fire and Rescue Service
Portable Building Sales has an excellent relationship with repeat customers, Lincoln Fire and Rescue service.
Most recently, Portable Building Sales provided a modular building for taster sessions and face-to-face days. This helps Lincoln Fire and Rescue Service give a great first impression to new recruits.
“We know Portable Building Sales staff well, having purchased buildings from them before. As on previous occasions, we’ve got a fantastic building, delivered on time..” -Ian Taylor, Waddington Fire and Rescue base Site Manager.
Modular Wellness Centre for Queen Victoria Hospital
Queen Victoria Hospital approached us looking for a quote for a modular wellness centre.
We supplied a two-section modular building to create an open-plan wellness centre and an additional building to provide a large hospital bed store.
“I would like to thank you and your team for the exceptionally good service and cooperation in delivering a great quality building on time and budget. We have had many positive comments to the look and feel.” -Vincent Wong, Interim Capital Projects Manager.
