A MBI e o International Code Council colaboram para publicar diretrizes para o uso seguro de contêineres de transporte intermodal ISO reaproveitados como edifícios e componentes de edifícios
Mais de 30 milhões de contêineres de transporte intermodal ISO estão em uso no mundo todo atualmente. Esses contêineres foram construídos de acordo com os padrões ISO e mantidos de acordo com os padrões definidos pela "Convenção para Contêineres Seguros" da Organização Marítima Internacional (IMO).
Novos ou usados, os contêineres agora são reaproveitados em um ritmo que torna sua reutilização um setor global multibilionário. Os contêineres são regularmente reaproveitados e convertidos em usos de ocupação do Código Residencial Internacional e do Código Internacional de Construção. Como material de construção, as aplicações são muito diversas, assim como o grau de utilização do contêiner como elemento estrutural de construção.
As jurisdições locais e os programas administrativos estaduais estão reagindo à tendência crescente de reaproveitamento de contêineres de transporte, mas podem estar atrasados em termos de regulamentos e conformidade. Esta Diretriz da ICC tem o objetivo de ajudar as jurisdições estaduais e locais, bem como os proprietários, arquitetos, construtores e engenheiros em sua avaliação de como projetar, revisar e aprovar contêineres de transporte como elemento de construção.
As Diretrizes podem ser adquiridas na livraria da ICC em www.iccsafe.org

Creating an ‘Ecosystem for Innovation:’ 50+ Years of Modular Construction Oversight in Virginia
Virginia’s modular building program began in 1973, with the implementation of the Virginia Industrialized Building Unit and Mobile Home Safety Regulations. Now it’s leading the country in modular code adoption.
Understanding Thermal Barriers Compliance Methods & Emerging NFPA-275 Foam Plastic Technologies
New fire barrier technologies are improving total costs and margins in major areas of construction, such as commercial, government, union and prevailing wage projects. These benefits translate into other large fringe areas, such as agriculture, commercial cold storage facilities, grow houses, outbuildings, military and aviation hangars.
Financing the Future of Modular Construction: How Better Capital Strategies Can Help the Industry Scale
The future of construction will not be solved by one product, one lender, or one financing model. It will be solved by matching the right project with the right capital strategy.
Building Customized Technical Containers for Data Centers and the Energy Sector
Modern data centers must not only be highly efficient but also flexible and secure. One answer to these core challenges is modular data centers housed in containers.
Printing the Future of Modular Construction
For the modular and offsite construction industry, 3D concrete printing should not be viewed as a competing construction method. It should be understood as a potential expansion of the industrialized construction toolkit.
Quality Control for Modular Houses Manufactured in Asia
In modular construction, prevention is far cheaper than correction. A good inspection plan protects the buyer, supports the supplier, and helps the final project succeed.
Housing Without Borders: Go Global with Haskell Modular Solutions
With the capacity to service over 15 diverse markets across multiple continents, Haskell is the reliable choice for our 80% repeat client base no matter how their needs evolve. So, when a longstanding client—typically known for their large-scale, institutional buildings—engaged Haskell with a very different need—multinational
housing projects—Haskell knew exactly what approach to take.
