Quarterly Industrial Insights: Q2

Company Update  

Purpose-Built, Performance-Tested

“We don’t just repurpose steel—we leave the world better than we found it by giving containers a second life, supporting our communities, and helping our people become the best versions of themselves.”
Clayton Hiebert, President

Another quarter has flown by—and what a season it’s been.

At CNG Containers, we’ve continued transforming humble shipping containers into certified, turnkey buildings that stand up to the most demanding conditions across Canada’s industrial landscape. From our roots as a father-and-son welding team to the skilled, multidisciplinary crew we are today, one thing has never changed: our commitment to integrity, quality, and safety in every build.

Q2 brought big steps forward:

  • Expanded fabrication capacity with new production bays

  • Reduced lead times for high-cube customizations

  • Delivered first-of-their-kind spill-containment units for northern mining operations

At CNG, we don’t just sell containers—we deliver custom solutions engineered for performance, precision, and peace of mind.

From initial concept to final installation, our team works closely with each client to design, modify, and certify structures that meet your exact specs—on time and built to last.

Whether you operate in the oilfield, forestry, mining, or remote northern communities, you can count on us to deliver results that rise to the challenge.


Innovation & Engineering Spotlight

Protecting Sites, Teams, and the Environment—One Containment Unit at a Time

As environmental regulations tighten and operational risks increase, proactive spill management is more than good practice—it’s essential. That’s why CNG Containers has taken spill protection to the next level.

In Q2, we completed several custom-engineered spill-containment units for mining and energy sector clients across northern Alberta and B.C. These high-performance units are designed for rugged use and regulatory compliance in even the most remote and demanding conditions.

What Sets Our Units Apart?

Our containment units aren’t just retrofitted boxes—they’re purpose-built structures designed from the ground up to contain, control, and mitigate spill risks. Each one is constructed using repurposed steel shipping containers, providing strength, mobility, and sustainability in one solution.

Key Features & Options:

  • Fully sealed steel floors with built-in sump trays and secondary containment

  • Roll-up or man doors for easy access and controlled entry

  • Custom shelving for safe drum and tote storage

  • Interior LED lighting and ventilation systems for compliance and safety

  • Forklift pockets, lifting eyes, and skids for easy on-site maneuvering

  • Capacity for multiple 45-gallon drums, fuel tanks, or hazardous material totes

Applications Include:

  • Fuel storage and refuelling stations

  • Lubricant and chemical handling areas

  • Generator containment

  • Hazardous waste storage

  • Spill response command centers

Built with durability and flexibility in mind, these units can be delivered fully pre-fabricated, minimizing site installation time and cost. And because they’re container-based, they’re easy to relocate as your operations evolve.

Whether you need a standard solution or something highly customized, we’re here to help you meet environmental compliance while protecting your people and your site.

Client Success Story or Partner Feature

How Container-Based Courses Are Transforming Firefighter Training

For many fire departments—especially in smaller communities—tight budgets can limit access to realistic, hands-on training. But with repurposed shipping containers, comprehensive firefighter training is now more affordable, adaptable, and scalable than ever.

Modular & Budget-Friendly
Start small and expand as funding allows. Container-based systems grow with your department’s needs.

Dynamic Scenarios
Moveable walls and configurable spaces keep training realistic and ever-changing—sharpening critical thinking and response.

Multi-Use Design
From burn rooms and confined space rescues to multi-level repelling and breaching drills, each unit packs in essential, real-world challenges.

Compact & Versatile
With a small footprint and flexible setup, these units fit into limited spaces while delivering a big training impact.

Container-based training brings modern, high-impact learning within reach—equipping firefighters to protect their communities with confidence.

Once again, in collaboration with the Beaumont fire department, CNG Containers developed this custom prop door to safely train for breaching both in-swing and out-swing doors—so they’re ready when it matters most.

Looking Ahead

Looking Ahead: Winter Comes Fast—Let’s Get Your Site Ready

In Canada’s remote and rugged regions, winter doesn’t ask permission. It just shows up—and if your site isn’t ready, production slows or stops altogether. That’s why now is the time to prepare. CNG is here to help you get ahead—with custom-engineered, winter-ready container solutions designed to keep your crews safe, your equipment protected, and your projects moving.

For decades, we’ve partnered with clients across oil & gas, mining, forestry, and northern communities to deliver turnkey, insulated units that perform under pressure—and in sub-zero temperatures.

Cold-Weather Ready Solutions Include: (Include a sample photo for each bullet point from this page: https://cngcontainers.ca/container-solutions)

  • Heated equipment enclosures, pump houses, and labs, built to spec and certified for field use

  • Insulated lunchrooms, drying shacks, and multi-use crew shelters with HVAC, lighting, and electrical

  • Secure site entry units that centralize safety check-ins, badging, and first-aid—critical for controlled access in winter months

  • Fully integrated systems with electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and automation pre-installed—cutting down on site setup time

  • Prefab building complexes that link multiple containers into one seamless structure for housing, offices, or command centers

Whether you need a single winterized module or a complete compound, we’ll help you design the system that fits your operational needs—on time and ready to deploy before the first frost.

Why Plan Now?

  • Shorten lead times

  • Lock in fall delivery
