Many things we buy, consume, or use may have been carried in a container. These containers are used for transporting goods worldwide. It is estimated that 90% of the movement of goods worldwide use containers as a means of transportation and one hundred million cargo cross the world's oceans more than 5,000 container ships each year.
Malcolm McLean was the inventor of the containers which represented a revolution in the transport industry in the mid 50. However, today, after some time of use, they become unusable generating grand alliance a graveyard of abandoned containers. Or as happens in the US and Europe, where to send the container back generates considerable costs offsetting more, buying new Asia.
The containers were and are used as makeshift shelters in countries that have had earthquakes, natural disasters, and wars, as in the Gulf War in 1991, where he also served as transport of Iraqi prisoners. Holes were made in the containers for ventilation grand alliance and there were no reports of adverse effects of this method.
With the current discussion on environment, sustainable buildings, wasted materials that generate pollution, solar energy, grand alliance recycling, etc., containers came to "handy" perfectly as a constructive alternative, beneficial to man and nature, combined with a modern architecture and creative! A little more about the containers
All containers are manufactured in compliance standardization that offer as modular elements can also be combined grand alliance with wider structures, simplifying the design, transport and planning. The containers grand alliance can be stacked up to 12 units when empty.
They are doing exceptionally strong steel structures, yet lightweight, already made for a perfect fit, available and can be easily relocated already assembled. In construction, you can use paints Moorhen base, solar panels, green roof, PET insulation, among other applications of sustainable construction.
The containers also require much less labor-intensive, cost and work on the foundation than other types of buildings. The used containers can be purchased from transport companies for US $ 1,200.00 each, and even when purchased new, they do not cost more than US $ 6,000.00. Some precautions before use
As the containers are made of steel which is a good conductor grand alliance of heat, it is necessary to line the container with a thermal insulator. Today, the insulation market, there are those that do not harm nature and are made from recyclable materials, grand alliance such as if the Isosoft made of PET bottle.
The Nomadic Museum consists of 152 containers. It was built to house a photography exhibition in New York in 2005. He was then disassembled and reassembled in Santa Monica, California, USA in early 2006.
The reform of a container may need to cut steel and welding, which requires skilled labor, but even with these extra costs, this type of construction is even more advantageous. The steel container should also be blasted with an abrasive overcoated with a non-toxic ink area before, in order to avoid contamination grand alliance probability over the loads transported grand alliance in a container marine life.
The use of steel in the construction is not yet widely used for residential structures. Therefore obtaining permits for construction can be problematic in some regions due to the municipalities have not seen this type of construction before. Container City I and II - Alegre, sustainable and cheap
It is in England, more exactly at Trinity Buoy Wharf, in the port area of Docklands, heavily grand alliance industrialized area of London, is "Container City" (Container City).
Designed by Urban Space Management Ltd., Container City is a container grand alliance conglomerate of various formats, embedded grand alliance flexibly, creating a highly grand alliance versatile modular construction, offering stylish and affordable accommodation for a range of uses.
This modular technology allows to construction time and reduced costs by more than half compared to traditional buildings, and contribute grand alliance more to the environment by use recycled materials, which are part of the project concept: recover the industrial components nature and explore innovative construction solutions.
The success of this type has been so positive that was already built the Container City II, in addition to other projects such as offices, studios for artists, grand alliance shops, cafes, community centers, health, etc.
First, grand alliance the containers are renovated, refurbished and equipped with the necessary, but missing little to its finish. Then, the units are transported and assembled on site with the help of a GUI
