Rikaze Container Mobile House
Rikaze container mobile houses are widely used in earthquake relief and modular construction, featuring strong earthquake resistance, rapid construction, warmth retention, and fire prevention.
I. Applications in Earthquake Relief In the earthquake-stricken areas of Dingri, Tibet, container mobile houses have become an important choice for transitional settlement. For example, at the settlement site in Xuezhu Village, Cuoguo Township, Dingri County, container houses are being erected. Technicians point out that they possess strong earthquake resistance capabilities, with ceilings and walls made of Class A fireproof and thermal insulation materials, ensuring safe accommodation for affected residents. The container houses donated by China Railway Construction to Nabuxicun, Chawu Township, Lazi County, Rikaze, are also made of high-strength steel, offering excellent wind and earthquake resistance. The inner thermal insulation materials provide a warm and comfortable living environment. Additionally, Power Construction Corporation of China, Chengdu Engineering Corporation Limited deployed 30 container-style houses in Senga Village, Changsuo Township, Dingri County, equipped with professional settlement personnel. These houses can be erected in just over 10 minutes, significantly improving settlement efficiency.
II. Technological Advantages of Modular Construction Container mobile houses fall under the category of modular construction, with the core being factory prefabrication and on-site assembly. Building modules complete all processes, including ceilings, floors, and water and electricity pipelines, in the factory, ensuring stable quality through assembly line production. Compared to traditional construction, which requires sequential steps such as scaffolding, bricklaying, and plastering, modular construction adopts a parallel operation mode, combining automated vertical warehouses and intelligent production lines to shorten the construction period by more than 60%. For example, the 63 modular elderly apartment modules purchased by British merchants from China were shipped and completed on-site hoisting in just two weeks; the 84 modules in Papua New Guinea were transformed into fully functional hotels upon arrival, fully demonstrating their efficiency and flexibility.
III. Material and Structural Characteristics The main structure of container mobile houses is made of high-strength steel, offering outstanding wind and earthquake resistance, suitable for the special environment of high altitudes and geologically active areas. The walls and ceilings use Class A fireproof and thermal insulation materials, meeting fire safety requirements while effectively maintaining indoor temperature and reducing energy consumption. The modular design allows for rapid disassembly and reuse, reducing construction waste and aligning with green building principles.
