Custom Detachable Container Student Dormitory For African Markets

Custom Detachable Container Student Dormitory for African Markets (CBC System)

 

This custom student dormitory is specifically designed for African countries, adhering to the actual needs of student accommodation and the regional climate characteristics of Africa. The customized dormitory covers a total area of 24 square meters, consisting of two independent rooms (each 3m×3m) with a shared bathroom in the middle, which can comfortably accommodate multiple students while ensuring privacy and convenience. Adopting the CBC customized detachable container house system, the product features the core advantages of easy disassembly, convenient transportation, quick installation and reusability, perfectly solving the pain points of high transportation costs, long construction cycles and difficult relocation of traditional student dormitories in African regions. To enhance structural stability and service life in complex African environments, the main beams of the dormitory are thickened to 3mm, and high-quality insulation materials are adopted to adapt to the hot and dry or hot and humid climate conditions in most African countries, providing a comfortable and safe living environment for students.

 

 

The dormitory is constructed based on the CBC detachable container house system, with a modular steel frame structure that emphasizes stability, durability and detachability. The overall structure is divided into three key parts: roof frame, floor frame and wall structure, all of which adopt bolted connection design to realize rapid disassembly and assembly without on-site welding, greatly improving construction efficiency and reducing construction difficulty.

 

 

The roof frame is assembled by high-quality galvanized steel pipes, which are corrosion-resistant and rust-proof, adapting to the harsh outdoor environment in Africa. The specific composition includes 2 long beams of 7.68 meters in length, 1 short beam of 2.68 meters in length, 3 galvanized square pipes of 2.78 meters in length (section 50×50mm, thickness 1.5mm), 4 galvanized square pipes of 1.91 meters in length (section 40×80mm, thickness 1.1mm) and 8 galvanized square pipes of 1.91 meters in length (section 40×60mm, thickness 1.1mm). The reasonable combination of long beams, short beams and square pipes forms a stable grid structure, which effectively bears the weight of the roof, resists wind and rain, and cooperates with the 50mm glass wool insulation layer laid on the roof to achieve excellent thermal insulation effect, reducing indoor temperature rise caused by strong sunlight in Africa and improving living comfort.

 

 

The floor frame adopts the same main beam specification as the roof (thickened to 3mm), ensuring the overall structural consistency and load-bearing capacity. It is composed of 2 long beams of 7.68 meters in length, 1 short beam of 2.68 meters in length, 13 galvanized square pipes of 2.99 meters in length (section 50×100mm, thickness 1.1mm) and 2 galvanized square pipes of 2.78 meters in length (section 20×40mm, thickness 1.0mm). The dense arrangement of galvanized square pipes enhances the load-bearing capacity of the floor, which can stably bear the weight of students, beds and daily necessities, and the galvanized surface treatment effectively prevents corrosion caused by moisture and humidity, extending the service life of the floor structure. The detachable design of the floor frame also facilitates transportation and on-site assembly.

 

 

The walls are made of 50mm EPS sandwich panels with a bulk density of 12, which integrate thermal insulation, sound insulation and fire resistance, and have the advantages of light weight, high strength and quick installation. The EPS core material with reasonable bulk density ensures good thermal insulation performance, which can isolate the outdoor high temperature and maintain a comfortable indoor temperature; at the same time, it has certain sound insulation effect, reducing the mutual interference between the two rooms. The shared bathroom in the middle is designed with waterproof and moisture-proof treatment, which is adapted to the daily use needs of students and avoids structural damage caused by moisture. The entire structure adopts the CBC detachable system, and all components are prefabricated in the factory, with high precision and easy assembly. It can be assembled on site with simple tools, and can be disassembled and relocated according to actual needs, which is highly flexible and practical. In addition, the thickened 3mm main beam enhances the overall stability of the structure, making it able to resist the common strong wind and other harsh weather in African regions, ensuring the safety of students' living.
