Jinning Container House Installation

Jinning container house installation should follow these steps and precautions:

I. Installation Steps

• Site and foundation preparation: Choose a level, dry site with good drainage. Clear debris, then measure dimensions. Select the foundation type based on geological conditions:

• Steel foundation: Suitable for short-term or temporary use; quick to build;

• Concrete foundation: Preferred for long-term use; pour bearing pads and embed anchor bolts;

• Timber foundation: Suitable for soft ground; requires anti-corrosion treatment. Key point: The foundation should be 10-15 cm above the surrounding ground to prevent ponding, and a waterproof barrier (such as plastic film) should be laid at the base for moisture protection.

• On-site adjustment and inspection

• Use a laser level to calibrate site levelness, with error not exceeding ±5 mm;

• Inspect the container body: Confirm there is no deformation, cracking, or rust; the surface should be ground smooth;

• Mark the installation orientation: Determine door, window, and piping positions according to the design drawings.

• Frame erection

• Fix steel columns: Secure columns to the foundation with embedded bolts or chemical anchors; vertical deviation ≤3 mm;

• Install beams: Connect columns to form the frame; tighten with high-strength bolts to the design torque values.

• Container positioning and connection

• Lift the container: Place it slowly onto the frame with a crane and temporarily secure with locating pins or bolts;

• Multi-unit connection: Weld or bolt adjacent units together; fill gaps with sealant to prevent leaks.

• Facility installation

• Roof and exterior walls: Install color steel sheets or rock wool panels; reserve openings for skylights and rainwater pipes;

• Doors and windows: Seal frames with waterproof adhesive and ensure smooth operation;

• Electrical system: Run wiring in protective conduits; after installing outlets and fixtures, test insulation resistance (≥0.5 MΩ);

• Plumbing system: Lay PVC drainage pipes, seal joints, and perform a water test with no leakage.

• Interior finishing and protection

• Walls: Install fire-resistant gypsum board or PVC paneling;

• Floors: Lay moisture-resistant flooring or tiles; round corners to prevent bumps;

• Ventilation: Install exhaust fans or a fresh-air system; add a dehumidifier in high-humidity areas.

• Safety and environmental measures

• Workers must wear hard hats and non-slip shoes; use safety harnesses for work at height;

• Set up site barriers and spray water to reduce dust pollution;

• Sort and dispose of waste properly; keep paint, adhesives, and other flammable materials away from ignition sources.

II. Acceptance and Maintenance

• Acceptance criteria: Check bolt tightness, electrical grounding resistance (≤4 Ω), and pipe sealing;
• Regular maintenance: Every six months, inspect foundation settlement and container rust, and replace aged weatherstripping.

Tip: Confirm local planning permits before installation to avoid unauthorized construction; in extreme climate zones (such as seismic belts), strengthen earthquake resistance with diagonal braces or damping devices.
