From the 5.7-Magnitude earthquake in Sarmi Regency, Indonesia to Resilient Infrastructure

According to monitoring by Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), a 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck Sarmi Regency, Papua Province on February 24, 2026. Just 48 hours earlier, North Kalimantan Province had been hit by a 7.0-magnitude strong earthquake.

Although no tsunami warning was issued, the frequent aftershocks have once again posed an ultimate question to the global infrastructure industry: in geographically disaster-prone environments, should our living spaces pursue not only "sturdiness" but also rapid recovery "resilience"?

1. Dilemma of Traditional Infrastructure: Why Do They Fail in Aftershocks?

In the face of sudden earthquakes, traditional concrete buildings often expose fatal shortcomings:

• Irreversible Structural Collapse: Rigid materials are prone to brittle cracks during strong earthquakes. Even if the main building does not collapse, it often loses its repair value as a "dangerous building".

• Race Between Reconstruction Speed and Life: Resettlement of disaster victims is a race against time. However, traditional cast-in-place construction is restricted by cement setting time, building material transportation and harsh weather, making it difficult to cross the threshold of the "golden rescue period".

2. Hard Power Against Vibration: Modular Building vs Traditional Brick-Concrete

WELLCAMP Prefab Modular Houses adopt high-standard galvanized light steel structures. Unlike the rigid collision of bricks and stones, steel has excellent ductility and energy absorption properties. When seismic waves strike, the container dissipates seismic kinetic energy through slight elastic deformation, achieving "no damage in minor earthquakes and no collapse in major earthquakes", and greatly ensuring the safety of indoor personnel.

3. WELLCAMP Core Solutions: Building Three "Safety Dividends" for Earthquake-Affected Areas

In response to Indonesia's complex geological and geographical environment, WELLCAMP has created an emergency product matrix centered on "high strength and rapid deployment":

A. Ultimate Flexibility: "Full-Scenario" Adaptability of detachable container house

As the most cost-effective entry-level solution, the detachable container house perfectly meets the diverse needs in post-disaster reconstruction through highly industrialized module design:

• Balance Between Cost and Performance: Adopting high-strength galvanized steel structure, more than 90% of the components are prefabricated in the factory. This model not only greatly reduces procurement costs but also can be flexibly assembled into dormitories, offices, warehouses or canteens to meet the full-functional operation of post-disaster communities.

• Low-Threshold and Efficient Assembly: On-site installation does not require heavy hoisting equipment, and only 2-4 people can manually complete the assembly of a single unit.

• Three-Dimensional Expansion: It has extremely strong space extensibility and supports 2-3 storey stacking construction. On the limited land in disaster-stricken areas, the living capacity can be doubled without demolition and reconstruction.

B. 4-Minute Miracle: Efficiency Revolution of folding container house

At the disaster relief site, efficiency is life. Our star folding container house exerts the wisdom of Made in China to the utmost:

• Ultimate Compression: The thickness is only 350mm after folding. A single container can load multiple sets of houses, saving more than 70% of transportation costs.

• Rapid Deployment: With a crane, a single house can be put into shape in only 4 minutes, allowing disaster victims to quickly bid farewell to tents and move into temperature-controlled, stable hard-roof houses.

C. Remote Area Without Worry: Expandable Camp House

For remote mountainous areas where large hoisting equipment cannot be used, WELLCAMP provides an exclusive solution:

• Manual Installation: The house weighs only 600kg and is equipped with loading rollers at the bottom. No heavy machinery is needed, and two people can complete the deployment in 2 minutes.

• Pre-installed Integration: The internal circuits are pre-laid, and it can be powered on immediately after deployment. It is the best choice for mobile clinics and temporary residences in remote areas.

4. Green Closed Loop: 15-Year Service Life and Sustainable Recycling

A sense of security should not come at the cost of environmental damage. Whether it is detachable container house, folding container house or expandable camp house, all support multiple recycling uses.

• Long-Term Service: The overall service life can reach 15 years. When post-disaster reconstruction is completed, these houses can be quickly disassembled and stored for the next emergency call.

• Low-Carbon Repair: Only a single plate needs to be replaced for local damage, without large-scale demolition and reconstruction, minimizing the out put of construction waste.

• Easy Expansion: It can be horizontally spliced or vertically stacked on the original basis according to actual needs, ensuring that the resettlement camp can evolve in real time with the expansion of the rescue scale, avoiding resource waste caused by secondary construction.

Why Choose WELLCAMP?

• Certification Benchmark: It has original patents for folding container house, and its products have passed strict international certifications such as ISO and CE.

• Production Capacity Cornerstone: With a production base of over 100,000 square meters, it ensures that when major disasters occur, the production capacity can respond quickly and deliver on time.

• Practical Experience: Having been deeply engaged in the prefabricated house field for decades, we know that building on earthquake zones is not just building houses, but building a barrier for life.

The aftershocks in Sarmi Regency, Indonesia remind us that prevention is better than emergency rescue. WELLCAMP is always committed to safeguarding every bit of life on earthquake zones through more humanized and efficient prefabricated building technology.
