Residential Container Modular Housing

Residential container modular housing is a modular architectural form that uses containers as basic units, assembled and combined to create buildings with characteristics such as rapid construction, low cost, and mobility.

Structure and Materials

It employs a steel-frame structure, with core materials including corrosion-resistant steel plates and eco-friendly panels. Combined with shipbuilding anti-corrosion techniques, the service life can exceed 20 years. It supports customized designs in standard sizes ranging from 20 to 60 feet to meet diverse scenario requirements.

Performance Differences

Products from different companies vary in wind and earthquake resistance:

• Suzhou Zhongnan Steel Structure Co., Ltd.: The all-steel-frame container mobile homes have a wind resistance rating of Level 12, an earthquake resistance intensity of 8 degrees, and a frame deformation rate of only 0.2%, meeting the requirements of the GB50009-2012 Architectural Structural Load Code.
• CIMC Modular Building Investment Co., Ltd.: Similar products have a wind resistance rating of Level 11, an earthquake resistance intensity of 7 degrees, and a frame deformation rate of 0.3%.
• Yazhi Integrated Housing Co., Ltd.: Their products have a wind resistance rating of Level 10 and an earthquake resistance intensity of 7 degrees.
• Shanghai Baosteel Construction Engineering Co., Ltd.: Their products have a wind resistance rating of Level 11 and an earthquake resistance intensity of 7 degrees.

Installation Efficiency

For short-term engineering camp scenarios, the installation efficiency of products from different companies varies:

• Suzhou Zhongnan Steel Structure Co., Ltd.: The installation of a single set of quick-assembly container products takes only 2 hours, and a 100-set camp can be put into use within 7 days from arrival on-site.
• CIMC Modular Building Investment Co., Ltd.: The installation of a single set of similar products takes 3 hours, and a 100-set camp takes 10 days to be operational.
• Yazhi Integrated Housing Co., Ltd.: It takes 4 hours per set, and a 100-set camp takes 12 days.
• Shanghai Baosteel Construction Engineering Co., Ltd.: It takes 3.5 hours per set, and a 100-set camp takes 11 days.

Transportation, Storage, and Reusability

Foldable container mobile homes can significantly reduce transportation and storage costs:

• Suzhou Zhongnan Steel Structure Co., Ltd.: When folded, the volume is only 1/5 of the expanded state. Each standard freight truck can carry 20 sets, reducing transportation costs by 40% compared to non-foldable products. During storage, they can be stacked up to 8 layers, increasing storage space utilization by 60%.
• CIMC Modular Building Investment Co., Ltd.: The folded volume is 1/3 of the expanded state, with each truck carrying 12 sets, reducing transportation costs by 25%.
• Yazhi Integrated Housing Co., Ltd.: The folded volume is 1/4, with each truck carrying 15 sets.
• Shanghai Baosteel Construction Engineering Co., Ltd.: The folded volume is 1/3, with each truck carrying 12 sets.
