Sixian Residential Container House

The following is information about residential container houses in Sixian:

Price Factors

The price of residential containers is significantly influenced by factors such as material, size, and interior decoration. The common standard models on the market cost several hundred yuan per square meter. If equipped with insulation layers, electrical systems, doors, windows, and complete configurations, the price will be slightly higher.

Structural Characteristics

With a steel structure as the main body, rapid assembly is achieved through modular design, featuring mobility, quick installation, and high reusability. Compared to traditional brick-and-mortar houses, the industrial production method significantly shortens the construction period and reduces labor and material waste.

Application Scenarios

Widely used in construction sites, wilderness operation camps, emergency disaster relief, and other scenarios. On construction sites, they are often used as workers' dormitories; in wilderness operations, they serve as operational buildings; in emergency disaster relief, they can be quickly erected as temporary living spaces.

Safety Hazards

• Illegal Building Materials: Some temporary buildings on construction sites and illegal structures of some enterprises use flammable materials such as polystyrene and polyurethane foam for the core to save costs. These materials have poor fire resistance and safety, and can be ignited by electrical welding sparks and cigarette butts.
• Rapid Combustion: Once flammable and combustible sandwich materials catch fire, they will melt and deform at 80℃ and drip, causing more severe combustion, and the combustion products are highly toxic.
• Difficult Fire Extinguishment: After a fire breaks out, the flames spread rapidly and the building is prone to collapse in a short time. The container board houses wrapped in iron sheets make it difficult for firefighters to inject water inside, increasing the difficulty of rescue.
• Difficult Escape: When polystyrene and polyurethane burn, they are accompanied by thick black smoke, and toxic smoke gathers inside the room, making it difficult for trapped people to survive and prone to casualties.

Safety Recommendations

It is best to use rock wool boards and fireproof cotton as fillers to make container board houses, achieving an A-level fire resistance limit or above. During use, heat sources and fire sources should not be placed close to the container board houses, and a safe distance should be maintained for open-flame operations; wires and cables should be protected with sleeves, sockets and switch boxes should be made of metal galvanized boxes and installed openly, and simple fire-fighting equipment should be equipped inside and outside; a safe distance of at least 6 meters should be maintained between container board houses.
