With the increasing number of industrial facilities being built on the territory of our country and using equipment foreign production, increased volumes of rail and sea transport operations using sea containers. Under the existing practice, used containers, tend to remain at the construction site and subsequently sold to both legal and natural persons. This was the reason that shipping containers were used for the construction of administrative, residential and public buildings. House of the sea container - the device dimensions and layout, as well as popular projects implemented in practice and user feedback - all this is the theme of this article.

The apparatus and layout options
Using shipping containers, you can build a building and facilities limited the number of storeys, Due to the requirements of regulatory documents.
All technical requirements for facilities under construction of public and residential use are regulated by the following regulations:
- for single-family residential houses - SP 55.13330.2016 "SNIP 02/31/2001 single family houses";
- for apartment buildings - SP 54.13330.2011 "residential apartment buildings. The updated edition of SNIP 31.01.2003 ";
- for public buildings - JV 118.13330.2012 * "Public buildings and facilities. The updated revision 31/6/2009 SNP (modified N 1, 2). "
Apparatus constructed and layout objects using sea containers depends on the number and the type of their placement in relation to each other, as well as the imagination of the architect or the individual builder.
The main parameters in such a construction, size of the object being built, are the dimensions of the container used.
Dimensions of sea containers
Various types of containers differ in their carrying capacity, dimensions and equipment.
Different manufacturers dimensions may vary slightly, but the basic parameters are similar, and they are listed in the following table:
| Frame size (capacity) | Outside dimensions (L × W × V) mm | Inside dimensions (L × W × V) mm | Additional Information |
| 3.0 tons | 2100×1325×2400 | 1930×1225×2090 | — |
| 5.0 tons | 2650×2100×2400 | 2520×2000×2150 | — |
| 10 foot | 3058×2438×2591 | 2887×2330×2350 | — |
| 20ft DC | 6058×2438×2591 | 5898×2350×2390 | General purpose without ventilation (dry type) |
| 20 ft HC | 6058×2438×2896 | 5898×2350×2693 | General purpose without ventilation (dry type), increased height |
| 40 ft DC | 12192×2438×2591 | 12093×2330×2372 | General purpose without ventilation (dry type) |
| 40 ft HC | 12192×2438×2896 | 12093×2350×2693 | General purpose without ventilation (dry type), increased height |
| 45 'PW | 13716×2500×2750 | 13513×2444×2549 | General purpose without ventilation (dry type), an enlarged width |
| 45 feet HCPW | 13716×2500×2896 | 13513×2444×2670 | container refrigerator, an enlarged width |
Note! Name Type 10/20/40/45 ft sea containers, was due to their length, expressed in the English system of measurement, calculated in feet. Thus the length "twenty" corresponds to 20 feet in length in the measurement system.
During the construction of buildings and other permanent structures, as a rule, used 20 and 40 foot models and smaller sizes - in the construction of temporary shelters, huts and tool storage locations, as well as mobile workshops when working on construction sites on a rotational basis.
Advantages and disadvantages of homes made using shipping containers
In our country, sea containers during the construction of housing and other objects not in demand in both the US and Europe. This is because modular constructionsAs in other matters, and frame housingAre perceived by us as a makeshift buildings or for seasonal residence.
However, this trend is gradually disappearing, which is caused by the emergence of new building materials, using which you can successfully perform interior and exterior facility under construction, to create the required level insulation.
A house or an office building on the basis of containers - is mobility and ease of installation work
The advantages of the use of such products in the construction of houses, include such factors as:
- simplicity and small time frame for installation work;
- the use of "light" foundationsThat allows you to reduce the overall the cost of construction of the facility;
- possibility to perform internal layout in accordance with the needs and personal preferences of the developer;
- availability of work on its own without the involvement of contractors;
- mobility (if necessary).
The disadvantages of such structures are:
- for installation on a placement requires the use of lifting equipment;
- before use to produce antitoxic and anti-corrosion treatment;
- to ensure optimum microclimate inside the building construction will require significant costs insulation walling and the establishment of the regime ventilation indoors.
Popular structure of sea containers - planning, design ideas and photos of completed projects
As has already been written in the beginning of this article, sea containers are used in the construction of various building projects. In this section, we present the projects already implemented in practice, as well as the ideas of architects and designers, is not embodied in life.
Homes for permanent residence
Housing for temporary accommodation and maintenance purposes (hut, bath, etc.)
Administrative and public buildings
Building a house out of the container
To build a house with his own hands from the container is capable of virtually anyone with physical health and having the skills to work with hand tools and building materials.
In order to use a shipping container for housing, you must:
- to decide on its placement and obtain permits for the construction (if it is capital, not the mobile structure);
- select the type and number of containers to conform to the desired area and number of storeys of the building, and then buy them;
- work out planning project interior;
- create working drawings or sketches of the object being built with an indication of the materials used on all elements of designs (heater, Exterior and interior, roof etc.);
- calculate the weight of the resulting building and on this basis to select the type foundationRequired to manufacture;
- acquire all of the selected materials and prepare the necessary tools.
When all the preparations are made, you can proceed to the construction of the house, which is performed in the following sequence:
Stage №1. Laying the foundation.
The need for foundation structures depends on the type of structure (capital, mobile), The nature of its use (for temporary or permanent residence), as well as the number of floors and the type of soil at the location of the facility.
Modular structures are light structures, for the installation that does not require building a strong foundation. House of the containers can be placed on melkozaglublenny ribbon or pier foundation, plate or screw piles.
Important! When the device of the foundation of its dimensions must correspond to the size of the collected house. If necessary, the horizontal connections (bolts) are stacked to impart structural strength (for the embodiment of the pile and the columnar type), between two vertical elements.
Stage №2. Mounting of the container (s).
Installation containers on prepared foundation do without the use of hoisting equipment, and therefore the motor must be provided with travel on the construction site.

Team leader repair and construction company "Home Premium"
"Installation work for the unloading and installation of the container on the foundation to qualified (slingers), with special training and passed a periodic certification."
Stage №3. Installation and construction of the roof.
Type of roof and the types of materials used depend on the design ideas and wishes of the developer, as well as the availability of financial resources allocated to the production of the building element.
Step №4. Insulation, interior and exterior trim.
Currently, the building materials market a wide range of different types of insulation (mineral wool, expanded polystyrene, penoplex etc.), which differ in performance and price that allows you to select in accordance with the selection criteria.
Similarly, things and with the surfacing materials, so each developer can express their fantasy and perform external and internal finishes in line with its plan and personal preferences.
Step №5. Installation of utilities (electricity, water pipes, sewerage, heating) And their connection to external networks.
Important! For connection to external engineering networks must obtain technical conditions for connection, as in the case of the construction of major buildings. When connected to the communications is not the power supply organization, and to have connections to consumers, it is necessary to conclude with it the contract.
Recommendations for the Development of housing in the house of container
In the regeneration of this house there are no limits, both in terms of equipping of and design style. All questions related to these activities should be resolved at the stage of planning decisions and selection of finishing materials.
In this context, issues related to the arrangement shall be resolved exclusively and individually designed according to the project.
Review of prices and consumer reviews of the homes of sea containers
In our country house from the shipping container can be purchased by contacting the company specializing in the construction of modular buildings and structures.
Note! Organizations involved in the refurbishment of sea containers are present in large regional centers and their offices are practically in all regions of the country.
Price of the house from the sea container depends on its size, equipment and materials, used in the manufacture and package of additional services related to its installation in place placement.
Base prices for homes, manufactured under the key, as of the III quarter of 2018 are shown in the following table:
| As used container type | Facilities | type of foundation | cost, rubles |
| 20 feet |
| screw piles | 560000 |
| 40 feet |
| screw piles | 1200000 |
Reviews of such buildings is not so much, because this type of individual construction has not yet found widespread in our country. However, a small number of comments can be found on the Internet, and here are some of them:
