Container House Isolation Site

Admin September 14, 2026

Container houses, as isolation sites, offer advantages such as rapid deployment, flexible combination, and reusability, but attention must be paid to fire safety, structural stability, and compliance requirements.

I. Core Advantages

  1. Rapid Deployment Capability
    Container houses utilize factory prefabrication and bolt-fastening processes, enabling assembly within 48 hours without complex civil engineering. For example, the Danzhou Fangcang Hospital project installed 1,000 container units in six days to meet urgent pandemic response needs.

  2. Modular Combination Characteristics
    Standard container dimensions (6m/12m in length × 2.5m in width × 2.8m in height) support flexible splicing, allowing rapid expansion into isolation zones, medical functional areas, and technical support zones. The Jinzhan isolation observation site achieved a "two-zone, two-channel" medical-patient separation design using 7,000 container units.

  3. Reusable Value
    Steel structural frames and weather-resistant steel plate exteriors (with a service life exceeding 20 years) support non-destructive disassembly and relocation. The Shenyang Shangji container shelter can be stacked and stored at height, transforming into an emergency command room or warehouse after the pandemic, with a recycling rate exceeding 85%.

II. Key Risk Points

  1. Fire Safety Hazards
    Electrical circuit failures are the primary cause of fires (accounting for 67% of cases). A-grade fire-resistant rock wool boards (with combustion performance meeting or exceeding GB8624-2012 standards) must be used, equipped with independent smoke detectors and fire extinguishers, and electrical circuits must be protected by metal conduits.

  2. Structural Safety Standards
    They must meet wind resistance ratings of 10-12 and seismic fortification intensity of 8 degrees. Shengshan Integrated uses Q355B high-strength steel frames, passing a 1,000kg/㎡ snow load test to ensure structural stability under extreme weather conditions.

  3. Compliance Qualification Requirements
    Emergency settlement manufacturers must hold ISO9001 quality management system certification, CE European Union certification, and third-party inspection reports. Medical-use containers must comply with special requirements in the "Design Guidelines for Fangcang Hospitals" regarding air cleanliness and negative pressure isolation.

III. Typical Application Scenarios

  1. Emergency Medical Facilities
    The Shenyang Fangcang Hospital in Liaoning Province adopted a double-layer container structure, integrating medical modules such as negative pressure wards and CT examination rooms, achieving rapid commissioning within 72 hours.

  2. Temporary Isolation Observation Sites
    The Chaoan District Dongshanhu project demonstrated the adaptability of this type of building in pandemic transitions through the demolition and reconstruction of 4,739㎡ of container panel houses.

  3. Construction Site Pandemic Prevention Facilities
    MCC Tiangong used photovoltaic container houses in the Yangpu Industry-City Integration Project, resolving temporary power supply safety hazards through solar power generation, with an average daily power output of 15kWh.
