Weizhu Container House

Weizhu container houses are a type of prefabricated building that adopts modular design, factory prefabrication, and rapid on-site assembly, featuring standardization, efficiency, and flexibility.

I. Design and Production Model Weizhu container houses take standardized modules as the core, dividing the entire building into independent components such as the floor, roof, and sides. These components are prefabricated in the factory through automated production lines, including the main structure, water and electricity pipelines, bathroom equipment, and cabinets. For example, a domestic steel structure modular intelligent factory can produce 50 modules per day, with manufacturing precision controlled within 1-2 millimeters. The concrete MiC production line can produce a complete module every 20 minutes, with over 70% of the processes completed in the factory, shortening the construction period by more than 60% compared to traditional methods.

II. Technical Routes and Materials Domestic enterprises mainly adopt two technical routes: steel structure and concrete:

1. Steel Structure Modules: Lightweight and high-strength, suitable for ocean transportation and high-rise building requirements, commonly used in export projects or temporary buildings.
2. Concrete Modules: Offer a living experience close to that of traditional houses, with higher acceptance in the domestic market, mostly used in permanent buildings such as residences and schools. In terms of materials, the modules use galvanized C-shaped steel, rock wool boards, polyurethane foam, etc., which have fire resistance, thermal insulation, and earthquake resistance properties, complying with the technical specifications for light-duty movable houses.

III. Application Scenarios and Advantages

1. Diverse Scenarios: Cover residences, hospitals, schools, data centers, urban renewal projects, construction site dormitories, cultural and tourism campsites, etc. For example, Hangzhou Jizhu Technology Co., Ltd. transforms containers into coffee bars, bars, and mobile hotels, while Shenghui Integrated Housing launches cultural and tourism space capsules and creative-shaped houses.
2. Core Advantages:
   • Efficient Construction: On-site assembly requires no wet work, shortening the construction period. For example, three containers can be quickly assembled to form the main building of a campsite.
   • Flexible Reuse: Bolted connections allow for complete disassembly, enabling damage-free reuse during relocation and reducing long-term costs.
   • Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency: Factory prefabrication reduces construction waste, with a material recycling rate of up to 90%.
   • Simplified Approval Process: The temporary building nature simplifies land use procedures, making it suitable for emergency scenarios.

IV. Typical Cases

1. Shengshan Integrated: Focuses on the field of temporary construction at construction sites, providing full-link services from production to operation and maintenance, solving problems such as low safety factors and poor environmental protection of traditional panel houses.
2. Wanzhong Container Houses: Provides standardized packing container houses in areas such as Lujiang County, using light steel frames and color steel plate/rock wool board enclosure structures to meet the needs of short construction periods and high load-bearing safety.
