Integrated Molding Diagram of Container Houses
Currently, there are no publicly available standard drawings for the integrated molding of container houses, but their molding patterns and characteristics can be understood through practical cases.
Integrated molding container houses are not built entirely from scratch on-site; instead, they adopt a prefabricated and modular construction method. Take the three-story multi-purpose office building in the factory area of COSCO Shipping Nantong Shipyard as an example. It is precisely assembled from 96 specially designed housing units. These specially designed housing units have completed most of the structural and interior decoration work in the factory, functioning as independent 'mini houses'. Each housing unit's size, shape, and interior layout are carefully designed to ensure they can be precisely joined together to form a complete and stable building structure. This prefabricated approach significantly shortens on-site construction time and improves construction efficiency.
Qidong Container Factory's early completion of the '6-meter + 14-meter' integrated molding large module welding and assembly in the factory is also an important practice for integrated molding container houses. This large module has completed key processes such as welding and assembly in the factory and becomes a relatively complete functional unit upon arrival at the site. On-site, only overall hoisting, inter-layer connections, and necessary installation tasks, such as connecting water and electricity lines and installing doors and windows, are required to put the house into use. This method not only reduces the difficulty and risk of on-site construction but also ensures the quality and precision of the building.
The mobile folding residential container house for construction sites, produced by Shanghai Changsheng Portable Housing Co., Ltd., demonstrates another characteristic of integrated molding. This type of container house can be designed for overall folding in the factory and can be quickly unfolded and put into use upon arrival at the site. It offers the advantages of easy mobility and quick installation, making it highly suitable for temporary locations such as construction sites.
