Design and construction process of residential container

Residential containers, as the name suggests, are container houses used to live in people. They are often used to meet some temporary living needs. They have been widely promoted and used because of their advantages of fast construction, comfortable living, and easy movement. So do you know how the living container is built? In fact, the construction process of a residential container is similar to that of a conventional building. Today, I will introduce you the design and construction process of a residential container. Let’s take a look at the Wellcamp residential container.

From the design to the construction of the residential container, it can be divided into five steps: scheme design, site treatment, container treatment, performance improvement, and interior decoration.

1. Schematic Design

According to the requirements of the site and the customer's use requirements, select the appropriate box room, and design the plan according to the surrounding environmental characteristics, including the layout of the box according to the specific requirements of the function, and the virtual display of the internal space. Further revisions are made according to relevant opinions. Next, the design scheme is finalized and a reasonable box structure scheme is given. Then, according to the specific scheme requirements, combined with the characteristics of different types of container boxes, the selection and purchase of container boxes are finally completed.

Second, site handling

There are generally two ways to deal with the site, one is to directly use the consolidation site guaranteed by reliable experience, or to level the common site that meets the bearing capacity of the living container. The other is to build the foundation, lay out the line according to the plan, excavate the foundation groove, then tamp it, lay the plain concrete cushion, and then pour the foundation beam and the ground concrete cushion, so as to ensure the stability of the construction of the living container.

Three, the treatment of the box

Carefully inspect the purchased container body, remove the redundant construction and polish the modified parts, derust the container body, cut the door and window according to the design plan, and weld and strengthen the construction where structural reinforcement is required. If conditions permit, spray thermal insulation and waterproof paint on the box. Then add external components according to functional requirements, and install door and window frames and keel components required for interior decoration by welding at the opening of the legal person.

Four, performance transformation

After the housing of the residential container has been processed, the initial form of the container building has come out, and the thermal performance of the building needs to be further improved. Because the internal space of the box is limited, some of the pipeline facilities should be buried in the thermal insulation material in order to make the space more convenient. Therefore, in the process, the pipeline facilities such as electric wires, water supply and drainage pipes should be pre-buried and installed, and then the thermal insulation materials should be installed. .

Five, interior decoration

The living container has been basically completed in the previous step. The next step is to meet the needs of living comfort through interior decoration. First, install decorative panel materials such as wall panels and ceilings, and then lay the floor. You can choose wooden floors. Install other facilities required for life.

The above is an introduction to the design and construction process of the residential container. You can refer to it. I hope it can bring some help to your work. If you have any questions or needs about the residential container, please feel free to consult Wellcamp. factory.
