Questions and Answers about Modular Containers

What are modular containers?

Modular containers are prefabricated structures constructed using cold-formed steel profiles, typically assembled without welding. They feature insulated sandwich panel walls and roofs, and can be used for various applications, from offices to accommodation.

What are modular container buildings?

Modular container buildings are portable structures created by joining standard container modules horizontally or vertically. Each module comes at standard dimensions of 2.4x6 m or 3x7 m. The building plan is prepared by a professional engineering team based on customer's requirements. All partitions, doors, windows, electrical and plumbing elements are considered at the design stage based on the purpose of the building whether it will be a dormitory, dining hall, clinic, office or kitchen. The modules are produced at the factory along with stairs, walking platforms and roof parts and are transported to the site in flatpack shape or packed as profiles. Assembling is then handled by experienced technicians and the building is delivered as ready to use.

How are modular containers transported?

Modular containers are designed for easy transportation. They can be moved via trucks, ships, or trains, and can often be stacked or flat-packed to minimize transportation costs.

Can modular containers be used for multi-story buildings?

Yes, our modular containers can be stacked to create multi-story structures. These buildings maintain structural integrity thanks to the strong steel frame and modular construction system.

Can modular containers be relocated after assembly?

Our modular containers are easy to move. You can take them apart, transport them, and put them back together without much hassle. This makes them perfect for businesses or projects that need storage that can change locations easily.

How are modular containers insulated?

Modular containers are insulated using sandwich panels with cores made of materials such as polyurethane, polystyrene, or rock wool. This insulation provides excellent thermal and soundproofing properties.

How long does it take to install modular containers? Modular containers can be installed quickly, often within a few hours to a couple of days, depending on the complexity and size of the setup.

Do modular containers require a foundation?

Modular containers require minimal foundations, such as concrete blocks or beams, depending on the site's conditions and the size of the container. This helps speed up the installation process.

How long do modular containers last?

Efficient modular container is made of galvanized steel for durability. With proper maintenance, modular containers can last up to 30 years or more. Durability makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, including construction, storage and housing.

What are the applications for modular containers?

Can be used in a range of applications, from portable offices, accommodation, storage units, classrooms, healthcare facilities, and even retail spaces. Their versatility makes them ideal for temporary or permanent setups.

How to customize flat pack container?

Flat pack containers can be customized in a number of ways, including: size, interior layout, insulation type, and features such as windows, doors, HVAC systems, and furnishings, to meet specific needs.

Are modular containers secure for storage?

Modular containers can be equipped with security features such as reinforced doors, steel window bars, and locking mechanisms, providing a secure environment for occupants or stored items.

Can modular containers be expanded in the future?

Yes, our modular containers can be expanded by adding additional units or modules, making them a flexible and scalable solution for growing space needs.

Can modular containers withstand extreme weather conditions?

Modular containers are designed to withstand various environmental conditions, including heavy rain, wind, and extreme temperatures, making them suitable for diverse climates.

How much do modular containers cost?

The cost of modular containers can vary widely depending on factors such as size, materials, insulation, customizations, and additional features like windows, doors, and utilities. A basic modular container might start from $2,000 to $5,000, while larger or highly customized units can range from $5,000 to $10,000 or more. Prices also depend on the region, delivery costs, and specific project requirement

What is a prefab container?

A prefab container is a portable steel unit typically made from light steel cold roll formed profiles that are joined together without welding, designed to serve various functions such as offices, housing, storage, or commercial spaces. Prefab containers are built off-site in factories and transported to their final location, where they can be quickly assembled or installed. These containers are customizable, portable, and cost-effective, offering flexibility for temporary or permanent use.

What are the advantages of using modular containers?

Modular containers offer several advantages over traditional shipping containers including:

• Cost Effective: An affordable alternative to traditional shipping containers, they are available in a wide range of applications.
• Easy to Transport: Designed for easy transport, it can be shipped anywhere in the world.
• Quick Assembly: It can be assembled quickly and easily, reducing construction time and labor costs.
• Customization: Can be customized to meet specific requirements, they can be used in a wide range of applications including housing, office space, storage and more.
