Shenzhen Container House Construction
The construction of container houses in Shenzhen mainly adopts a modular construction method, which is efficient, environmentally friendly, and flexible.
Construction Process:
The core of container house construction in Shenzhen lies in modular technology, which involves dividing the entire building into independent housing modules. These modules undergo the completion of the main structure, water and electricity pipelines, decoration, and interior soft furnishings on a factory assembly line. For example, the modular houses produced by China Construction Integration Building Intelligent Manufacturing (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. for an Australian project were completed with all preliminary processes in the factory and then shipped by sea to the site for assembly. Only water and electricity connections are required for “move-in ready” occupancy. This model transforms the sequential operations of traditional construction sites into parallel operations, with multiple processes advancing simultaneously, significantly shortening the construction period.
Technical Advantages:
Shenzhen's modular construction technology has achieved a high degree of intelligence. For instance, the world's first flexible intelligent manufacturing production line for concrete MiC (Modular Integrated Construction) was put into operation in Shenzhen, capable of producing a complete module every 20 minutes with an annual production capacity of 20,000 to 30,000 units. Over 70% of the processes are completed in the factory, reducing the overall construction period by more than 60% compared to traditional methods. Additionally, steel-structured modular houses feature a main structure composed of a steel frame paired with fire-resistant rock wool sandwich panels, integrating insulation, fire prevention, sound insulation, and waterproofing. These houses can be repeatedly disassembled and relocated to different sites, significantly reducing construction waste and pollution.
Application Scenarios:
The construction of container houses in Shenzhen has been widely applied in overseas projects, domestic affordable housing, and temporary buildings. For example, the “Huazhang Xinzhu” affordable housing community in Longhua District, Shenzhen, adopted concrete modular technology, using over 6,000 modules with approximately 90% of the processes prefabricated in the factory and assembled on-site into a 28-story high-rise. Furthermore, Shenzhen enterprises have supplied modular houses to markets in Australia, New Zealand, North America, and Indonesia, achieving efficient overseas expansion through the “Shenzhen R&D + Shenshan Manufacturing + Port Direct Shipment” model.
