Dingxi Container House Construction
The construction of container houses in Dingxi requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, including design, materials, construction, and manufacturer selection.

I. Design Planning The design of container houses should determine functional areas based on their intended uses, such as temporary offices, accommodations, or construction site temporary buildings. Examples include office areas, dormitory areas, and restrooms. The design must comply with building codes to ensure structural safety while considering ventilation, lighting, and heat insulation requirements. For instance, using double-layer container combinations can enhance space utilization, or optimizing lighting through window design.
II. Material Selection
- Main Structure: Prioritize fully steel containers, which offer earthquake resistance, waterproofing, wind resistance, fire resistance, and corrosion resistance, with a service life of over 10 years.
- Enclosure Materials: Sandwich panels (such as rock wool composite panels and polyurethane foam panels) are commonly used thermal insulation materials that improve the house's thermal insulation performance. For example, rock wool panels have a high fire resistance limit, making them suitable for scenarios with strict fire safety requirements.
- Accessories: Doors and windows should use materials with good sealing properties, and the floor can be laid with PVC flooring or tiles to enhance living comfort.
III. Construction Process
- Foundation Construction: Choose between concrete foundations or steel structure supports based on geological conditions to ensure house stability.
- Container Installation: Use cranes to lift containers to designated positions and secure them with bolts or welding to ensure a firm connection.
- Interior Decoration: Complete the installation of water and electricity lines, wall and floor treatments, and door and window installations, paying attention to reserving maintenance access points.
- Acceptance Inspection: Check structural safety, water and electricity functionality, and sealing to ensure compliance with usage standards.
IV. Manufacturer Selection
- Qualifications and Scale: Choose manufacturers with production licenses and extensive experience, such as Lanzhou Liqun Color Plate Steel Structure Engineering Co., Ltd. and Shaanxi Huateng Container Leasing Co., Ltd.
- Service Content: Confirm whether the manufacturer provides customized design, transportation, installation, and after-sales maintenance services.
- Cost and Leasing: Choose between purchasing or leasing based on the budget. For example, Shaanxi Huateng offers a leasing service at 6 yuan per day, suitable for short-term needs.
V. Precautions
- Compliance: Ensure the house complies with local building codes to avoid illegal construction.
- Environmental Protection: Choose recyclable materials to reduce construction waste and align with green building trends.
- Flexibility: Consider future disassembly or relocation needs and choose modular designs for easy reconfiguration or relocation.
