Chuanshan Container Module House

The Chuanshan container module house is a modular building constructed using containers as basic units through combination and assembly, featuring mobility, rapid construction, and low cost. Here is a detailed introduction:

Basic Concept

Container module houses use containers as basic units and are built through modular combination methods. They adopt steel-frame structures, with core materials being corrosion-resistant steel plates and eco-friendly panels. Combined with ship corrosion prevention techniques, they have a service life of over 20 years and support customized designs in standard sizes ranging from 20 to 60 feet.

Main Advantages

• High mobility: They can be moved and reused, adapting to usage needs at different locations.
• Rapid assembly: They have a short manufacturing period and do not require foundations, enabling quick commissioning. For example, the packing-box units from Shandong Jinda Lvjian Integrated Housing Co., Ltd. can have their basic installation completed within 24 hours through modular design.
• High safety: The steel-frame structure provides wind and earthquake resistance, with a wind resistance rating of up to Level 10 and an earthquake resistance rating of up to Level 8.
• Good durability: The steel plate exterior is corrosion-resistant and acid-resistant, not rusting or cracking, with a service life of over 20 years. It can adapt to temperature differences ranging from -30℃ to 50℃.
• Excellent sound and heat insulation: It adopts an air-break thermal design, providing good sound and heat insulation.
• Strong aesthetics: It allows for various design shapes, with a wide range of exterior wall colors and a bright appearance.
• Low cost: It has a low construction cost, offering high quality at a reasonable price. It saves over 30% in cost compared to traditional buildings, with a material recycling rate of up to 85%.
• Stackable: It can be stacked up to 7 units high, saving space.

Application Scenarios

It is widely used in temporary housing, construction site offices, emergency shelters, commercial exhibition stands, and other fields. Examples include temporary offices and worker dormitories at construction sites, supporting service facilities in tourist attractions, emergency rescue temporary shelters, temporary command centers for municipal engineering projects, and wilderness operation camp constructions.

Development History

In 1987, Phillip C. Clark first proposed a modification patent; in 2006, American architect Peter DeMaria designed the first double-story container house certified by the state; in 2008, CIMC quickly built a container school capable of accommodating a thousand people after the Wenchuan earthquake; in 2010, China initiated the compilation of the "Technical Specification for Container Modular Combination Houses"; in 2012, CIMC built the world's first recyclable container hotel for the UK.
