Installation of Container Houses in Jiangbei District

Admin September 17, 2026

The installation of container houses in Jiangbei District typically involves the following key steps:

1. Site Preparation and Foundation Construction
First, select a flat, dry, and well-drained site. Clear debris and measure the site dimensions. Determine the foundation type based on the specifications and load requirements of the container house. Common foundation types include steel foundations (suitable for temporary or lightweight structures), concrete foundations (suitable for long-term fixed structures with heavy loads), and timber foundations (suitable for areas with good geological conditions). Ensure that the foundation construction meets the required levelness and load-bearing capacity. For example, concrete foundations need to be poured and cured to the design strength, while steel foundations need to be firmly welded and treated for corrosion resistance.

2. On-site Adjustment and Structural Inspection
Before installation, determine the orientation and layout of the container house. Use a level or laser distance meter to calibrate the foundation levelness, with a deviation controlled within ±5mm. Simultaneously, inspect the integrity of the container body, including surface flatness, weld quality, and the position of door and window embedments, to eliminate defects such as deformation, cracks, or rust. If using modular containers, verify the consistency of module numbers with the construction drawings in advance.

3. Frame Structure Construction
Fix steel columns according to the design drawings. The connection between the column base and the foundation should use chemical bolts or welding processes to ensure that the verticality deviation is ≤H/1000 (H is the column height). Subsequently, install crossbeams and diagonal braces to form a stable frame structure. For multi-story container houses, construct in layers and set up temporary supports. After each layer is installed, verify the verticality and overall stability.

4. Container Module Installation and Connection
Use a crane or forklift to lift the container modules to the designated positions and fix them to the frame with locating pins or bolts. Adjacent containers should be connected with high-strength bolts and sealed with sealant strips at the joints to prevent rainwater leakage. If module splicing is involved, install waterproof covers and drainage channels at the connections to ensure structural integrity.

5. Installation and Acceptance of Ancillary Facilities
After completing the main structure, install doors, windows, roof panels, skylights, and rainwater pipes. Doors and windows should be equipped with anti-theft locks and sealant strips, while roof panels should be firmly fixed and set with a water diversion slope. Finally, conduct functional tests, including the opening and closing of doors and windows, the smoothness of the drainage system, and the structural stability check, to ensure compliance with the requirements of the "Technical Specification for Container Houses" (GB/T 36119-2018).

Additional Notes: The installation process for modular container houses is more streamlined, focusing on module combination accuracy and connection node treatment. Companies such as Chongqing Longji Kedeping Steel Structure Co., Ltd. provide standardized installation services, with products that support multiple disassembly and reassembly cycles and are equipped with after-sales service teams to handle maintenance issues.
