Linhe Container House Installation

Admin September 15, 2026

The installation of container houses in Linhe requires a combination of professional construction plans and standardized operating procedures, focusing on foundation treatment, structural assembly, safety reinforcement, and acceptance inspection.

1. Pre-installation Preparation and Foundation Treatment

  1. Site Planning and Foundation Treatment
    The ground should be leveled in advance to ensure that the foundation bearing capacity meets the requirements. For container houses used outdoors for long periods, it is recommended to pour concrete piers or lay crushed stone cushions to prevent structural tilting due to foundation settlement. For example, a manufacturer in Guangzhou significantly improved wind and earthquake resistance by using bottom concrete piers combined with anti-corrosion wood exterior wall treatment during construction.

  2. Drainage and Pipeline Embedding
    Drainage pipes should be embedded according to the usage scenario to avoid water accumulation. If used as construction site dormitories or offices, electrical circuit interfaces should be reserved, and wires should be protected with sleeves. Sockets should be installed in metal galvanized boxes on the surface to reduce fire risks.

2. Structural Assembly and Fixing

  1. Modular Assembly Process

    • Bottom Frame Installation: Connect the bottom corners of the container to the bottom beams using hexagon socket bolts, adjust the diagonal error to ≤3mm, and then tighten.
    • Secondary Beam and Floor Installation: Install and fix π-shaped secondary beams, lay magnesium oxide board substrates, mark and snap chalk lines along the centerline, and then nail the floor in place with a nail spacing of 300-350mm.
    • Wall and Roof Assembly: For foldable containers, first unfold the main frame and place support rods, then gradually push out the walls and tighten the screws.
  2. Connection Reinforcement Techniques
    Combine light steel structure frames (material Q235, thickness 2-3.5mm) with fully welded container bodies (steel plate thickness 1.0-2.0mm), and enhance stability by reinforcing corners with steel frames and welding anchor bolts at the bottom. For example, a manufacturer in Luliang produces quick-assembly container houses that use a full set of carriage bolts for connection, eliminating the need for welding and improving construction efficiency by more than 50%.

3. Safety and Fire Protection Measures

  1. Material Fire Resistance Requirements
    Fillers should use rock wool boards or fireproof cotton (meeting Class A fire resistance standards), avoiding the use of flammable materials such as polystyrene and polyurethane. Container spacing should be maintained at ≥6 meters, and simple fire extinguishing equipment should be provided.

  2. Wind and Earthquake Resistance Design
    In coastal or windy areas, enhance wind resistance by reinforcing with steel cables and adding counterweights. For example, a manufacturer in Tongliao designed soundproof sandwich panels for urban construction sites, with tightly sealed joints that effectively reduce construction noise disturbances.

4. Acceptance Inspection and Maintenance

After installation, check structural stability, door and window sealing, and electrical circuit safety to ensure compliance with the "Technical Specifications for Container Houses." Regular maintenance includes checking the tightness of connecting bolts, cleaning drainage pipes, and applying anti-corrosion treatments to extend the service life to over 20 years.
