By Andrew Butler


Leave it to the human enterprise to make do with what they have. Scratch that, we even improvise and make things better than what theyve been cut out for. That proffers a lot of benefits and advantages indeed. Just look at these Modified Shipping Containers.

Its pretty obvious what those aforementioned thingamajigs have been cut out for. That is, theyre originally meant to contain cargoes and shipment that are then placed on ships. When it has gone beyond its useful service life, among the most popular uses it proffers is in housing and architecture. In other words, theyre used as structural elements and function as houses.

With the many shipping containers used throughout the world, then its only expected to have lots of leftovers, so to speak. However, though theyre not used in the ship and docks already, they can still find use in many other kinds of applications. From onsite storage to medical clinics, stores and schools, these are many and sundry indeed. And these are great because they proffer great solutions to ecological as well as social problems, specifically in housing.

To spell out, the advantages of this enterprise can be pinned down, among many, to customization. Really, though, its shape and material offers many instances of creativity. Theyre easily modified for whatever purpose you can cut out for them. Because its extremely versatile and durable, you can go all out with whatever creative splurges youve cut out for it.

And then you have restaurants, workshops, construction trailer, mine site accommodations, and exploration camps. You have food trucks and RV campers, if not aviation maintenance facilities. Theyre great as hotel and lodging. And then theres stairwell and elevator shafts, and other means of intermodal sealed storage. Some stand by itself as a kind of abstract art. Whatever the use, theyre just preferable in other areas that are prone to extreme weather or else on top of seismic zones.

That said, its a heavy duty storage option. Plus, its amenable to any kind of environment. Its what you may refer to as an all around container. Its flexible, as well. And whatever disadvantage you may counter, youll find that you can still fashion ways and means out of those. For example, you can put in the fitting amount of insulation or else put in HVAC appurtenances, whether heaters, ventilators, and air conditioners.

Such is the versatility of these modular structures that they can be stacked up to eight units high. Theres also the deal with labor. Building an intermodal container costs less than building conventional houses. Because no attachments need to be welded or drilled, it all takes lesser time and equipment. With this one, you can save on labor and, therefore, money.

If it needs to be transported to a particular site, regardless of its size, then that can be easily done. The shipping sizes come as standard, so whether by ship, rail, or truck, its easily transportable, indeed. Their use is pretty much widespread, so theyre really easily available. It has less nitty gritty compared to brick and mortar, which has lots of delineation like expensive foundations and some such. As already said, its more eco friendly. Its saves many pounds of recycled steel.

With it, the speed of construction is pretty down pat, even with some customization at hand. And all these boons and benefits without the least backlog on aesthetics. They mirror anyones personal style well. Its self sufficient and self reliant, and you can upgrade it any way you want. When you go by these repurposed ship containers, then its literally advantages galore.
