Advantages of a Shipping Container House

Intermodal steel shipping containers have been kept to use for various things when they no longer cross the high seas. Generally, as storage containers, ablution containers are used or are turn into building construction site mobile offices.

Transforming steel intermodal containers into the basis for homes and light business construction applications is a current trend gaining strength in the architectural community.

By the research done at the front end of the project the fortunes of a construction development using an innovative approach are influenced. Below will take a look at the advantages of implementing shipping containers as part of your building.

Advantages

Durability and strength

Shipping containers are made to be placed one on top of the other on the decks and in the holds of freighters and to hold heavy loads .T o resist nasty conditions like being sprayed with water and road salt in the course of transport they are designed. For a construction, project this makes shipping container ablution an ultimate structural platform.

Environmental

The reuse of shipping containers into architectural use is quite environmentally friendly. For the reuse of materials, lead points are obtained because you are preserving the raw components that you would otherwise need to assemble the building platform.

Modular Design

To standard measurements as established by the International Standards Organization (ISO)all shipping containers are made; making them the ideal basis for modular elements. Modular construction also simplifies scheduling and freight since as they’re currently designed to interlock for ease of transport during transportation. Making multiple floors have become very easy because of the containers' modular design.

Cost and Availability

Just about anywhere across the country shipping containers from ablution containers manufacturer are available. From transport companies or intermodalLow priced containers can be acquired.

Transport and Handling

Steel shipping containers are generally designed to be moved by 18 wheelers vessel and rail; along with it they are often easily loaded, lifted, handled, and moved with simple equipment like loaders, fork, lifts, and small cranes.

ON TARGET: Canadian Armed Forces on the Front Line in Battle Against COVID19

By Scott Taylor

Last Wednesday, Canada’s Chief of the Defence Staff, General Jonathan Vance told the audience at the Conference of Defence Association’s annual forum that the Canadian Armed Forces are in the ‘pre-pandemic’ planning mode in response to the global spread of the COVID19, Corona-virus.

Vance explained that the CAF’s approach to this planning was two fold in that the military first has to determine how best they can protect their own personnel, and secondly how they can then be of assistance to the general public.

Most Canadians are aware that the military has already played a minor role in dealing with the COVID19 crisis in that service members were involved in the repatriation of Canadians potentially exposed to the virus from Wuhan, China and Japan.

Those Canadian civilians repatriated from Wuhan spent their compulsory 14-day quarantine at the base residence in CFB Trenton. Those taken off the cruise ship Diamond Princess were transported from Japan through CFB Trenton before being bused to the government owned NAV centre accommodations in Cornwall, Ontario.

This means that outside of health care workers, Canadian military personnel have been part of the first line of contact with those Canadians returning home after possible exposure.

It does not take much imagination to realize just how challenged the military would be to contain an outbreak in their ranks. As a profession, our military is often housed in close quarters in barrack blocks, tents or aboard warships.

Meals are consumed in the communal setting of mess halls and ablution stations are shared.

An outbreak aboard a Canadian warship or submarine would be far more problematic than what has been the experience on civilian cruise ships – and those cases to date aboard civilian ships have been devastating.

Those familiar with the close confines aboard warships and subs will realize that quarantine would be next to impossible. Sailors on operational duty would also be hard pressed to simply call in sick and sit idle in their bunks for two weeks.

Likewise, activities such as basic training involve marching drills that do not allow for two metres of separation. Ditto for proximity of combat personnel operating in cramped armoured vehicles.

One of the measures being implemented now by the CAF are restrictions on any unnecessary travel for personnel. This curtailment only serves to highlight just how much mandatory travel Canadian service members routinely undertake.

We presently have troops posted to the forward NATO Brigade in Latvia, we have trainers and Special Forces operators in Iraq and Kuwait plus several hundred troops acting as trainers in Ukraine. Add to that RCN ship’s companies making foreign ports of call and multi-national training exercises, and it is clear that international contact is something, which will be impossible to eliminate for our military personnel.

As for the CAF’s ability to assist the Canadian public should COVID19 evolve into a full blown pandemic, we must be cognizant of the fact that our military has finite resources. The medical branch of the CAF is of a structure and size to treat serving personnel with a limited surge capacity to meet an increased operational tempo if necessary.

They are certainly not staffed or equipped to augment hospital system on a nationwide scale.

General Vance also noted that there has been a 1000 percent increase in the CAF’s commitment to disaster relief since 2004. While providing troops and equipment to deal with natural disasters such as floods and massive snowfalls has become an all too frequent occurrence that is not the primary function of our nation’s military.

Too often what should be the resource of last resort – the CAF – has become the tool of first response.

In the case of a COVID19 pandemic I’m not sure Canada’s military can offer us much in the way of protection. I just hope they are successful in protecting themselves, because as an institution the CAF will undoubtedly be one of the most at risk.
