Structural Maintenance is the Foundation
Regular Inspection of Welds and Rust: Inspect the welds of load-bearing frames quarterly. If rust or weld breakage is found, remove rust and repair the welds promptly.
Rust Prevention for Moving Parts: Apply anti-rust oil to the movable joints of components every six months to prevent rust and seizing.
Deformation Repair: If wall panels or components are found bent or deformed, repair or replace them immediately to avoid compromising the overall structural integrity.
Safe Usage is Non-negotiable
Level Foundation: Ensure the ground is flat before installation. Avoid foundation deformation, subsidence or cracking, which would undermine the stability of the container house.
Professional Dismantling and Moving: Clear the site and set up warning lines during dismantling. Empty indoor items before moving, and follow the principle of “dismantle in reverse order of assembly”.
Adequate Fire Prevention Measures: Turn off electrical appliances in the container after use. Keep fire exits unobstructed, and equip the house with fire extinguishers and other fire prevention equipment.
Daily Maintenance is a Must
Regular Repainting and Inspection: Conduct a full inspection every 1–2 years, including repainting and safety checks. Repair scratches on the surface as soon as they are spotted.
Avoid Impact and Drilling: Do not strike the wall panels or drill holes in them. Refrain from damaging the structural adhesive of the floor and the sealing adhesive of doors and windows.
Load Control: Do not exceed the floor load limit of 1.0 kN per square meter. Avoid piling heavy materials in a small area to prevent floor cracking.
Environmental Adaptability Requires Attention
Wind and Rain Resistance: In typhoon or high-wind areas, secure the container with channel steel or steel cables, and weld the base to the embedded foundation parts.
Moisture and Freezing Prevention: In rainstorm or flood-prone areas, raise the foundation height and install drainage pumps. In severely cold regions, insulate the pipelines to prevent freezing and bursting.
Scheduled Overhaul: Formulate a systematic overhaul plan. Conduct regular inspections from the dimensions of structural safety and component performance to detect and resolve problems early.
