BELFAST INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
LEADING CONVERTED CONTAINER SUPPLIER WALCON HAS CONFIGURED FOUR 40FT-HIGH CUBE CONTAINERS TOGETHER TO CREATE A 120SQM DUTY-FREE STOCK ROOM AT BELFAST INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT… BESPOKE CONTAINER CONVERSIONS
Ireland’s leading supplier of shipping containers for conversions, Walcon offers over 25 years of experience in providing high-quality services to clients throughout Ireland, the UK and Europe. For the Belfast International Airport project, Walcon was sub-contracted to supply and install four 40ft-high cube containers, configured together to create a 120sqm duty-free stock room (see below).
The four containers were modified off site at Walcon’s yard in Banbridge, transported to the airport and installed in the carpark to the left-hand side of the arrivals hall entrance. Creating one interconnected space, the four containers were insulated, plylined and sealed and configured to feature one personnel door, one emergency exit door and four sets of double doors. Walcon has also just completed work for Halt, a new food market housed in shipping containers on the grounds of the old Europa Bus Station in Belfast. The first phase of the Weavers Cross Scheme, Halt is a ‘one-stop-shop for food, drink, culture and craic’, and features local food stalls such as Fowl Play, Katsu Kitchen and Franky’s Lasagneria. Established in 1999, the family company is based in Banbridge with additional
depots in Belfast, Dublin and Cork, offering hire, sale and conversion options for containers. Expert in customising any size of container to meet clients’ needs from small residential projects to large- scale commercial designs, Walcon additionally offers a comprehensive container security package and logistics service to fulfill any transport and haulage needs. Gary Walcon, Owner, said, “At Walcon, we believe the customer always comes first and it is this belief that has helped us to gain so many loyal customers and allowed us the chance to work on exciting projects all over the world. “However big or small your job or project, you can be sure to receive the first-class products and service that we have become renowned for.”
