Tieling Temporary Container House

Tieling temporary container houses generally refer to temporary buildings transformed from containers. They are convenient but have fire safety hazards and must be used in strict accordance with safety regulations.

Types and Uses of Temporary Container Houses

In the Tieling area, most common temporary container houses are residential containers. They resemble standard containers and are transformed internally to serve residential and office functions. Their core advantages include environmental protection and energy efficiency, flexible combination, and convenient disassembly and transportation. They are widely used in scenarios such as construction site worker dormitories, field operation housing, temporary office spaces, tourist attraction housing, and rental housing. For example, the products of Xiangdada Mobile Housing (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. can be applied in industries such as construction, railways, and petroleum. They are equipped with built-in air conditioners, restrooms, kitchens, and other facilities, with a service life of over 40 years.

Fire Safety Hazards and Risks

Although temporary container houses are convenient, their fire safety issues cannot be ignored:

• Illegal construction materials: To save costs, some construction sites use flammable materials such as polystyrene and polyurethane foam as core materials. These materials have poor fire resistance and can be ignited by electrical welding sparks or cigarette butts.
• Fast burning speed: Flammable materials will melt, deform, and drip at 80℃, and the drippings will trigger more severe combustion. Moreover, the combustion products are highly toxic.
• Difficult fire extinguishment: The fire spreads extremely fast, and the container is wrapped in iron sheets, making it difficult for water cannons to shoot water into the interior and increasing the difficulty of rescue.
• Difficult escape: When burning, black smoke is accompanied, and toxic gases accumulate in the room, making it difficult for trapped people to survive.

Safety Use Regulations and Suggestions

To reduce risks, the following safety regulations must be strictly followed:

• Material selection: Prioritize the use of Class A fire-resistant materials such as rock wool boards and fire-resistant cotton to make container houses, ensuring that the fire resistance limit meets the fire safety conditions of the construction site.
• Fire source management: Keep heat sources and fire sources away from container houses, and maintain a safe distance for open flame operations; protect wires and cables with sleeves, and use metal galvanized boxes for sockets and switch boxes and install them openly.
• Fire extinguishing equipment configuration: Equip the interior and exterior of containers with simple fire extinguishing equipment, such as fire extinguishers and fire sand.
• Safe distance: Maintain a minimum distance of 6 meters between container houses to prevent the spread of fire.
