Residential container is a movable house that is a flexible place for temporary accommodation consisting of an external container structure and internal living necessities.

Residential container is a movable house that is a flexible place for temporary accommodation consisting of an external container structure and internal living necessities. This feature and function cannot be found in other traditional buildings, and it is also one of the selling points of residential containers. So, where are the main applications of residential containers? What are the precautions for using a container house for residents?

1. Construction site

Residential containers are widely used in construction sites, providing temporary shelter for frontline workers who need to build at night to avoid wind and rain. Container rooms are more professional, meticulous, and humanized indoors, and the living experience is no less than any single hotel room.

2. Field work

Many wilderness explorers and surveyors sometimes need to collect specimens in the wild and conduct long-term experiments, if tents alone are not enough to meet their living needs.

It is difficult to resist wild beasts and toxic insects with just a tent, especially in desolate wilderness, where the role of living in a container becomes very prominent.

3. Emergency rescue and disaster relief

Earthquakes and floods are often accompanied by homelessness, and the exposed environment not only makes it difficult for disaster victims to recover physically and mentally, but also may pose a potential threat of infectious diseases.

Therefore, in areas with conditions, using residential containers as a transition for post disaster reconstruction is a better option than traditional tents for quickly setting up temporary living spaces.

Of course, the application of residential containers goes far beyond this. They have been used in subway construction sites, some existing tourist resorts, and other fields. With the continuous improvement of residential container houses, the future of residential containers will continue to expand their application areas.

What are the precautions for using container houses for residents?

Residential containers have become a shining star in the field of construction due to their green and environmentally friendly features, low cost, wide applicability, and use in natural disaster reconstruction activities. Unlike traditional residential buildings, we should pay attention to the following matters when using residential containers!

When using residential containers, pay attention to these four points:

1. Pay attention to fire prevention

First, pay attention to fire prevention. The building materials of ordinary container houses are mostly color steel plates and foam plates, which are not resistant to high temperatures. Therefore, special attention should be paid to fire prevention of passenger containers.

When setting up a heating stove in the activity room, fire-fighting equipment must be installed. Any welding or other open flame activities must be kept away from the activity room. Barbecue and other activities around the container should be minimized as much as possible.

2. Please do not disassemble the box components without authorization

Secondly, please do not dismantle the components of the residential container without authorization. After the construction of the residential container house is completed, do not dismantle or rebuild individual walls like traditional houses.

Because once certain bolt components are incorrectly removed, it may lead to some inevitable chain reactions. If you really want to add or reduce partitions, you should contact the container house manufacturer before proceeding.

3. Install circuits without routing

Furthermore, it is necessary to install power line isolation equipment. Container houses are constructed by connecting light steel planning components. When installing household circuits, circuit cables must not be placed directly on the bright surface of light steel components.

Install isolation equipment such as online pipes and cable trays to prevent electric shock accidents. When the light steel assembly ages and falls off due to long service life, users can perform repainting repair.

4. Prohibit the construction of high-rise buildings

To prohibit the construction of high-rise buildings, residential containers made of colored steel plates are different from traditional reinforced concrete houses because they are lightweight and pose a risk of being blown away by strong winds.

Therefore, container houses should avoid high-rise buildings from the beginning, as houses with three or more floors are not conducive to mobile homes with fixed floors.

In summary, the precautions for using residential containers can be summarized as follows: fire prevention should be taken into account when using residential containers, users are not allowed to dismantle movable house components without authorization, install power line isolation equipment, and it is prohibited to use residential containers to build houses with more than three floors; In addition, special attention should be paid to the layout of surrounding drainage systems during the construction of residential containers.
