As they are already designed to interlock for ease of mobility during transportation, structural construction is completed by simply emplacing them. This simplifies design, planning and transport. Due to their high strength, containers may be adapted for secure storage.Īll shipping containers are the same width and most have two standard height and length measurements and as such they provide modular elements that can be combined into larger structures. They are also designed to resist harsh environments, such as on ocean-going vessels or sprayed with road salt while transported on roads. They are designed to carry heavy loads and to be stacked in high columns.


Shipping containers are in many ways an ideal building material.
