Shipping Containers Used To Construct Two Hotels Near London

摘要

Imagine a multistory steel building reaching a height of 16 stories that features multiple structural redundancies, can be constructed in half the time required for a traditional steel building and at less cost, and uses energy more efficiently than its traditional counterpart. Now imagine being able to dismantle that building and reconfigure it elsewhere while much of the interior flooring, dry wall, and electrical and plumbing systems remains intact. Those are the benefits that modular construction with shipping containers can offer, according to engineers in the United Kingdom with Buro Happold.
