Emei Mountain Container House Construction

Admin September 17, 2026

The construction of container houses in Emei Mountain needs to combine the characteristics and difficulties of the project, and achieve efficient, environmentally friendly, and safe construction goals through scientific construction organization. The specific construction key points are as follows:

I. Core Project Characteristics and Construction Adaptability

  1. Rapid Construction: The factory prefabrication rate of container modules reaches 85%, and the on-site assembly cycle is only one-third of that of traditional buildings. During construction, modular design should be prioritized to ensure that the container sizes, connection nodes, and transportation routes of each functional unit (such as tourist reception centers and catering and accommodation areas) match, reducing on-site processing volume.
  2. Ecological Compatibility: The damage to the ground surface by the foundation works should be controlled within a depth of 0.5 meters. Stepped shallow foundations or pile foundations should be adopted to adapt to the gentle slopes of the mountains (with a maximum slope of 12%), avoiding damage to the geological environment of the dual heritage of Emei Mountain. At the same time, recyclable steel and environmentally friendly building materials should be used, and the recycling rate of construction waste during the construction period should reach 100%. The use of non-environmentally friendly materials such as clay bricks is strictly prohibited.
  3. Flexible Adaptability: The modular combination design should reserve space for adjustments, such as enabling later layout changes or overall relocation through detachable connectors to meet fluctuations in tourist traffic.

II. Measures to Address Core Difficulties

  1. Terrain Constraints: For gentle mountain slopes, foundation construction should be carried out in zones and stages, and anti-slip design (such as adding ground anchors or retaining walls) should be adopted to ensure the stability of container modules under a two-story cantilevered structure.
  2. Climate Impact:
    • Waterproofing and Wind Resistance: The roof should adopt a double-layer waterproof membrane + drainage slope design, and the sealant at the exterior wall connections should meet the requirement of wind pressure resistance of 0.35 kN/m².
    • Thermal Insulation and Moisture Prevention: In areas prone to rime in winter, the thickness of the wall insulation layer should be increased, and ventilation interlayers should be set up to prevent the accumulation of condensed water.
  3. Environmental Protection Requirements: During the construction period, noise should be strictly controlled below 55 dB during the day and 45 dB at night. Low-noise equipment (such as electric hoisting machinery) should be selected, and sound barriers should be set up; transportation routes should avoid ecologically sensitive areas to reduce dust pollution.

III. Key Links in Construction Organization

  1. Construction Sequence: The process should proceed in the order of 'site leveling → foundation construction → container hoisting → module connection → roof and exterior walls → mechanical and electrical installation → decoration and landscaping'. During this process, the foundation and hoisting stages should be carried out in zones and in a flow process to avoid cross-interference.
  2. Quality Management: Focus on monitoring the connection nodes of container modules (such as high-strength bolt torque and welding quality) and the construction of the waterproof layer. Each process must pass the inspection by the Quality and Safety Department before proceeding to the next stage.
  3. Safety Control: For mountain hoisting operations, a dedicated person should be assigned to direct, and fall protection devices should be equipped; the temporary power system should adopt TN-S grounding protection to ensure construction safety.

IV. Recommended Cooperative Enterprises
Sichuan Southwest Green Building House Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. (with advantages in steel structure technology and having undertaken similar container homestay projects) or Sichuan Kaixin Longhu Container Co., Ltd. (providing customized full-process services for integrated housing) can serve as construction partners to ensure the implementation of technical solutions and environmental protection requirements.
