Container Houses of Huoshenshan Hospital

The container houses of Huoshenshan Hospital adopt a prefabricated modular box-type housing structure, featuring mobility, simple structure, complete interior decoration, and convenient transportation. They serve as a key technical support for the rapid construction of the hospital.

1. Mobility and Reusability
The container houses of Huoshenshan Hospital use individual rooms as prefabricated units, employing a modular design and factory-based production to form standardized boxes. This structure supports flexible combinations in both horizontal and vertical directions: horizontally, they can be spliced to expand space; vertically, they can be stacked to increase usable area. The boxes can be used independently or quickly disassembled and reassembled to adapt to different scenarios. Their mobility stems from the modular design, with all components connected by bolts, eliminating the need for on-site welding and facilitating overall relocation or reuse, aligning with green building principles.

2. Simple Structure and Integrated Functions
The exterior wall panels and interior decoration of the box-type houses are completed in the factory, requiring only on-site assembly, resulting in extremely high installation efficiency. The structure offers multiple protective features:

• Environmental Adaptability: Insulation layers and moisture-proof materials ensure stable indoor temperature and humidity, while wind and earthquake resistance designs meet the climatic and geological conditions of the Wuhan area;
• Safety: Waterproofing covers roof and wall joints, and a leak-proof electrical system is integrated into the circuit design to ensure the safety of the medical environment;
• Durability: High-strength steel and corrosion-resistant materials are used, with a service life exceeding 20 years, far surpassing temporary building standards.
  Additionally, the exterior of the boxes is uniformly painted for aesthetic appeal, meeting the image requirements of hospital buildings.

3. Interior Decoration and Rapid Activation
Each box unit is equipped with complete living and medical facilities, including air conditioning, lighting, power outlets, and customized tables and chairs, requiring only connection to municipal power for immediate use. This "ready-to-move-in" model eliminates the interior decoration period of traditional buildings. For example, a standard ward can be assembled and activated in just 2 hours by 4 workers from transportation to use. The modular design also supports flexible adjustment of functional zones, such as isolation areas and medical staff rest areas, which can be quickly reorganized according to needs.

4. Transportation and Construction Efficiency
To reduce transportation costs, the box-type houses are transported in separate components, compressing wall, floor, and roof elements to standard container sizes for delivery to Wuhan by road or rail. On-site construction follows digital drawings for precise assembly, with all connection points using standardized interfaces to minimize human error. This "factory prefabrication + on-site assembly" model enabled Huoshenshan Hospital to complete the construction of 1,000 beds in 10 days, setting a record for the speed of emergency medical facility construction in China.
