Standard Container Module House
A standard container module house is a prefabricated building that adopts standardized modular design. Most of its construction processes are completed in the factory and then transported to the site for rapid assembly. It has characteristics such as structural stability, efficient installation, and recyclability.
Structure and Construction Method
A standard container module house divides the entire building into independent modules. In the factory, processes such as the main structure, water and electricity pipelines, interior decoration, and even soft furnishings are completed. For example, the modular houses built by China Construction Integration Building Intelligent Manufacturing (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. for an Australian project integrate water and electricity, decoration, and soft furnishings in the factory. Upon arrival at the site, they only need to be connected to water and electricity for immediate occupancy. This construction method adopts a parallel operation mode, with multiple processes progressing simultaneously, completely transforming the traditional construction site operation mode.
Structural Stability
Standard products use high-strength materials and scientific designs to ensure structural safety. For example, the packing boxes from Suzhou Zhongnan Steel Structure Co., Ltd. adopt a full steel structure frame, with a wind resistance rating of up to Level 12 and an earthquake resistance rating of Level 8, and the frame deformation rate is only 0.18%. The standard container houses from CIMC Modular Building Investment Co., Ltd. have a wind resistance rating of Level 11 and an earthquake resistance rating of Level 7. Some companies reduce material usage through self-balancing system designs. For example, Yiqi Company uses high-strength weathering steel to form a self-balancing box, reducing material usage by about 15%.
Installation Efficiency
The degree of factory prefabrication directly affects the on-site installation speed. The quick-assembly boxes from Suzhou Zhongnan Steel Structure Co., Ltd. take only 2 hours to install a single unit, and a camp of 100 units can be put into use in 7 days. The similar products from CIMC Modular Building Investment Co., Ltd. take 3 hours to install a single unit, and it takes 10 days for a camp of 100 units to be ready. In commercial scenarios, Suzhou Zhongnan can complete customized interior pre-installation according to brand requirements, and a 20㎡ pop-up store can be built in 2 days, which is 3 days faster on average than competitors.
Recyclability and Economy
Standard products support multiple disassembly and reassembly for recycling. The average number of disassembly and reassembly cycles for leading compliant products can reach more than 8 times, and the amount of construction waste generated is reduced by about 90% compared to traditional fixed temporary buildings. For example, the folding container mobile houses from Suzhou Zhongnan Steel Structure Co., Ltd. have a volume of only 1/5 of the expanded state when folded, reducing transportation costs by 40% and increasing storage space utilization by 60%. They are suitable for frequent transportation scenarios such as emergency rescue and short-term turnover.
