Uswattha Confectionery 40ft Hybrid Office & Storage Unit - Ongoing Project

Engineered for Industrial Operations

Project Overview

Hybrid Cargotecture Development (HCD) delivered a fully customized 40ft Hybrid Office & Storage Unit for Uswattha Confectionery (Pvt) Ltd, one of Sri Lanka’s most established FMCG manufacturers.
The requirement called for a durable, fast-deployable and worker-friendly facility that could be used on-site for operations, supervision and controlled storage activities.

Built using an upcycled ISO-grade shipping container, this project showcases HCD’s engineering capability in transforming raw steel into high-performance industrial workspaces that meet real operational demands.

Architectural & Space Planning

HCD’s design team developed a smart, streamlined layout that maximizes functionality within the 40ft footprint:

✔ Office Area - 16 ft Length

A clean, well-lit, professionally presented workspace suitable for:

• Supervisors and admin staff
• Meetings and reporting
• Daily operational coordination

The two double-glazed aluminium sliding windows provide natural light and ventilation, reducing energy use and enhancing comfort.

✔ Storage Area - 23 ft 2" Length

A secure, unobstructed storage bay engineered for:

• Fast inventory access
• Packaging materials
• Tools and production-related items

The wide open layout ensures efficient movement and easy stacking.

Engineering & Structural Detailing

✔ Structural Enhancements

• Reinforced steel frames for window openings
• Original container structure maintained for maximum strength
• Heavy-duty internal paneling and substrate preparation
• Precision floor leveling and strengthening for high foot traffic
• Energy-efficient LED lighting across both zones

✔ Electrical & Mechanical Setup

• Seven (07) inner LED lights for bright, even illumination
• Seven (07) strategically placed 13AMP power outlets
• One (01) industrial-grade exhaust fan for air circulation in storage bay
• Plug point height set at 1.5 ft for operational convenience
• Full concealed wiring to HCD safety standards

✔ Exterior Engineering

• Anti-corrosive steel preparation
• Premium protective coatings and polyurethane topcoat
• Custom colour finish to match Uswattha branding guidelines
• Factory-grade aluminum door with safety handle and rain guard

Aesthetic & Functional Finishes

• Sleek dark-green HCD exterior colour
• Powder-coated aluminium windows
• Clean internal ceiling grid for lights
• Smooth wall cladding ready for final interior finish
• Noise and temperature control with insulation options available

This ensures the unit remains professional, modern, and durable in any environment.

Value Addition for Uswattha

HCD’s Hybrid Office & Storage Unit helps Uswattha achieve:

✔ Faster site operations

Immediate deployment on their premises reduces delays and improves workflow.

✔ Cost savings

Containerized construction is 40–60% faster than traditional buildings, reducing downtime and construction overheads.

✔ Mobility & Flexibility

The entire unit can be relocated to new factory zones as production grows.

✔ Enhanced brand presentation

A clean, premium office exterior reflects positively on staff, investors, and auditors visiting the site.

✔ Compliance & Safety

Built adhering to industrial safety norms suitable for food manufacturing environments.

Sustainability & Environmental Impact

By upcycling a high-grade shipping container, HCD supports:

• Reduced carbon emissions
• Minimal site disturbance
• Long life cycle industrial performance

This aligns strongly with modern ESG expectations in manufacturing.

This project reinforces Hybrid Cargotecture Development’s position as Sri Lanka’s No.1 provider of industrial containerized infrastructure, delivering:

• Fast timelines
• Precise engineering
• Durable finishes
• Tailor-made solutions for factories and manufacturing plants
