Containerized Units
Comark Building Systems, Inc. recently took on the challenge of
converting existing steel containers into usable facilities for offices,
training facilities and remote housing. Challenged with creating
affordable and comfortable buildings, Comark’s container work met
the specifications required for modifying existing shipping containers
to create an alternative modular structure. These structures can
be quickly and easily transformed in the Comark plant with significant
cost-savings.
Recycling
existing shipping containers has been of interest to designers and
architects for some time. A steel container creates a robust structure
that can resist damage during transport and when installed on site.
Designed to be easily stacked and moved, Standard ISO 20 and 40 foot
containers are extremely flexible as a basic modular component.
Pre-construction of ceiling, walls, and floors at the factory makes
it easy to transform these structures into usable working and living
space. Modifications to the existing container include cutting doors,
window and HVAC holes in the steel walls.
Converting existing steel containers for office and housing purposes saves time and money, as well as creates an environmental benefit through the repurposing of an existing structure. The structure acts as its own shipping container reducing additional costs when transported abroad.
