Packing houses are usually constructed with steel frames, matched with fireproof, waterproof and heat preservation enclosure materials (e.g. color steel sandwich panels, rock wool panels, etc.) to ensure the stability and comfort of the building. Its standard size is mainly 20 feet (about 6 meters) and 40 feet (about 12 meters), and its height is generally 2.6-3 meters, and it can also be customized to provide more space according to demand. In addition, the packaged box house supports horizontal or vertical expansion, and through the splicing of multiple units, it can form a composite building such as an office, dormitory, school, hospital, and so on.
Due to its convenience and flexibility, the packaged box house is particularly suitable for construction sites, post-disaster reconstruction, tourist attractions, military camps and other scenarios. Compared with traditional buildings, it saves construction time and labor costs, and also has the environmental advantages of being detachable and recyclable.
Structure
Advantages of Packing Container Houses
Quick Installation, Time Saving
Packing container house adopts modularized design, the main structure is prefabricated in the factory, and only lifting, splicing and fixing are required at the site, usually a building can be completed in 1-2 days, which significantly shortens the construction cycle.
Strong integrality and high stability
Due to the use of all-steel structural frame and standardized connection, the seismic and wind resistance of the packed box house is better than that of the ordinary movable panel house, which is suitable for use in harsh environments.
Convenient transportation and low cost
Packing box house can be transported as a whole without disassembling, which reduces the loss and labor cost in logistics. A standard flatbed truck can transport multiple units, suitable for long-distance deployment.
Environmental protection and energy saving, reusable
Materials can be recycled, no construction waste during disassembly and installation, in line with green building standards. When relocating, only the whole unit needs to be lifted and transported, no need to rebuild, and the economy of long-term use is remarkable.
High comfort and strong adaptability
Adopting heat insulation and sound insulation materials, some high-end products are equipped with air-conditioning and fresh air systems to meet the comfort needs of residence and office. At the same time, it can adapt to different climatic conditions such as high temperature, severe cold and humidity.
Flexible combination, diversified functions
Supporting multi-unit splicing, it can form single-story or multi-story buildings to meet the spatial needs of different scenarios, such as dormitory buildings, office buildings, commercial complexes, and so on.
Application Scenarios of Packing Container Houses
Temporary housing for construction site: Used for workers' dormitory, project department office, cafeteria, warehouse, etc. After the construction is finished, it can be relocated to the new site as a whole to reduce the repeated construction cost.
Emergency Disaster Relief Resettlement: In emergencies such as earthquakes, floods, epidemics, etc., the packed box house can be quickly deployed as a temporary hospital, isolation point or resettlement house for disaster victims, providing a safe and hygienic living environment.
Commercial and Retail Space: Suitable for flash stores, convenience stores, cafes, exhibition halls, etc. The appearance can be customized and designed to attract customer flow and enhance brand image.
Tourism and Vacation Facilities: As B&Bs, camping hotels, scenic reception centers, etc., the packed box houses are both aesthetically pleasing and practical, especially suitable for eco-tourism projects.
Education and Medical Facilities: Used for temporary schools, kindergartens, vaccination stations, mobile clinics, etc., to solve the public service needs in remote areas or emergency situations.
Military and Field Operation: Provide movable barracks, command posts or workstations for the military, scientific research teams, oil exploration, etc., adapting to harsh environments.
Urban Temporary Building: In cities where land is tight, packaged box houses can be used for temporary offices, shared spaces, creative studios, etc., flexibly responding to short-term land needs.
Note on Packing Container House
Foundation treatment: Before installation, it is necessary to ensure that the ground is leveled and compacted, and if necessary, pour a concrete foundation or lay a steel frame to prevent the structure from being deformed due to settlement.
Wind and earthquake prevention measures: In typhoon or earthquake prone areas, it is necessary to strengthen the structural connection (e.g. bolt fixing, diagonal bracing reinforcement) and select models with high wind resistance rating.
Wind and earthquake prevention measures: In typhoon or earthquake prone areas, it is necessary to strengthen the structural connection (e.g. bolt fixing, diagonal bracing reinforcement) and select models with high wind resistance rating.
Insulation and moisture-proofing: In cold areas, additional insulation (e.g. polyurethane foam) should be added; in humid areas, waterproof treatment is required to prevent water seepage or mold on the walls.
Compliance and Approval: Some cities have approval requirements for temporary construction, so it is necessary to consult the local housing and construction department in advance to ensure compliance with fire, land use and other regulations.
Transportation and lifting: Packing box houses are large in size, and routes need to be planned for transportation to avoid height and width restricted roads. Use professional equipment when lifting to prevent collision damage.
Maintenance and upkeep: Regularly check the rust and corrosion of the steel structure and make up the paint in time; clean up the accumulated water on the roof to prevent deformation caused by long-term loading.
