SPECIAL MODULAR UNITS
SOCOME Special Modular Units are advanced technical construction solutions, developed to meet specific client requirements. Manufactured in accordance with rigorous design and construction criteria, they stand out for the quality of their materials, structural strength and compliance with current regulations.
Primarily used on construction sites, they are also widely employed in civil, agricultural, industrial, military and commercial settings, where construction quality is a priority compared with production costs.
Designed to SOCOME's own specifications, these special modular units are manufactured in accordance with technical specifications and comply with all applicable dimensional and regulatory requirements. Each unit is manufactured under a certified quality management system, ensuring high performance and long-term reliability.
The system's modularity allows units to be assembled in single, side-by-side or stacked configurations, making them suitable for a wide range of applications: sanitary facilities, offices, storage areas, security cabins, medical rooms, temporary shops, dining facilities, canteens, school buildings, work camps and much more.

Technical Description
BASE FRAME
Heavy-duty load-bearing base structure manufactured from Sendzimir-galvanised steel profiles, joined by welding using dedicated corner blocks. Floor load capacity: 250 kg/m². Optional flooring finishes include PVC or porcelain stoneware. The robust structure allows 60 mm adjustable support feet to be fitted inside the longitudinal frame members. On request, 200 × 100 cm forklift pockets can be provided for handling and lifting operations.
SIDE WALLS
Made of monolithic sandwich panels consisting of pre-painted steel sheets with an expanded polyurethane core. On request, 50/80/100 mm thick panels with rock wool insulation can be supplied, with REI 30/60/120 fire-resistance ratings.
ROOF
Perimeter gutter made of galvanised steel, designed to accommodate pre-painted galvanised steel sheets or roof panels, with a 50 mm thick sandwich-panel suspended ceiling. The modular unit is lifted using perforated brackets welded to the gutter corners. These are made of cold-formed, galvanised corner blocks and designed to drain rainwater through concealed internal downpipes.
DOORS AND WINDOWS
Made of pre-painted aluminium, wood or PVC, depending on the intended use and specific requirements. Hinged doors; sliding or top-hung windows; standard, double-glazed or armoured glass.
Systems
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Surface-mounted system consisting of a 16 A residual-current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection; ceiling-mounted light fitting (36 W fluorescent tube); 16 A single-phase socket; external power supply box and earth connection. The installed system complies with CEI standards, and the materials used bear the IMQ quality mark.
The system is certified in accordance with Article 7 of Ministerial Decree No. 37 of 22 January 2008.
PLUMBING AND SANITARY SYSTEM
Surface-mounted system with polypropylene pipes, heat-welded to threaded fittings and secured to the walls using dedicated moulded PVC brackets. Sanitary fixtures (toilets, washbasins, shower trays, bidets and urinals) are made of vitreous china. Wall-mounted PVC cisterns and good-quality chrome-plated brass taps are connected to the fixtures using dedicated fittings. Hot water is supplied internally by an electric water heater, or externally by gas boilers, solar panels and other systems. Wastewater is channelled through the base structure into a single 100 mm diameter pipe.
AIR CONDITIONING
MONOSPLIT or DUALSPLIT air-conditioning systems rated at 9,000, 12,000 or 18,000 BTU, from a national brand, complete with connections and mounting brackets to ensure safe and efficient operation.
Floor Load Capacity: 250 kg/m²
Reinforced base made of Sendzimir-galvanised steel, with welded corner blocks designed to withstand heavy loads.
Designed for Complex Requirements
Ideal for use as shelters, medical rooms, cabins, kiosks and professional armoured structures.
REI 30/60/120 Panels
Advanced insulation with rock wool and optional certified armoured glazing.
Fully Customisable Structure
Dimensions, access points and finishes can be tailored to the project requirements, including non-standard configurations.
