How we tested the strength of the Domino Clamps
As part of the design process for the Domino Clamp there were many considerations to take. We had to think about fabrication methods, materials and tolerances, and we spent over two years exploring these before finalising a design. However, there was always one area which we knew was going to be paramount to producing a safe and functional product…Testing and ensuring the strength and load taking capabilities.

Fixing to shipping containers: A welder's perspective
In this blog we will be looking at the Pros and Cons of welding shipping containers compared to using a mechanical fixing like Domino Clamps. We spoke to Eyal Edelman, an experienced welder whose projects involving shipping containers include the Pop Brixton project in 2015.

Constructing Pop Brixton: An interview with the project's build manager, Tom Mattey
Pop Brixton is a temporary project that has turned disused land into a creative space for 55 local independent businesses. The project, using 57 recycled shipping containers and other reclaimed materials, was started as an incubator for start-ups to enable locals to test the market and get their businesses off the ground. We spoke with Pop Brixton’s build manager, Tom Mattey about the project.

When shipping containers have served their purpose, transporting goods across the world, what happens to them next? These days, shipping containers can easily be repurposed and continue to be useful for years to come. In this blog we take a look at some of the uses that are now becoming more common place.
How can Domino Clamps benefit your shipping container construction project?

Developers, architects and engineers have long recognised the benefits of using ISO shipping containers as pre-fabricated building blocks which can be easily manipulated, installed and used for a determined design life and then transported to the next site.
