Add to that the increased buzz around shipping container structures and some people will have concerns regarding how current regulations ensure that shipping container-based structures are safe.

Currently, regulatory bodies are evaluating the best path forward and we at Falcon Structures, along with other players in the modular and shipping container industries, are working to move that conversation forward.

Our goal is to help develop a thoughtful permitting process that allows the industry to thrive while comfortably satisfying everyones top priority: keeping people safe.

Public and private sector organizations use ISO standards to ensure the quality, safety and efficiency of products, services and systems.

ISO standards for shipping containers make sure that containers can weather transport by ocean or rail without failure.

The stresses of these journeys are extensive; containers can be loaded to hold 55,000 lb.

This testing provides reliable measures of container strength that can inform regulatory decisions.

The manufacturer secures the containers bottom corner castings and then applies 150 kN, or 33,721 lb., of force to the top edge of the container.

To get a sense on a smaller scale, imagine pushing the upper edge of a cardboard box that is glued to a table top.

The measure of how much force can be applied to the top edge before the container begins to collapse or warp can be translated into an equivalent wind load.

According to the standards of the rigidity test, a shipping container can withstand wind speeds of 180 mph without wavering.

The referenced white paper also presents evidence that shipping containers exceed the requirements of seismic design and snow loading.

Cumbersome permitting could make deploying portable structures especially troublesome if a business must repeat the process every time they move the container.

A precedent already exists for streamlined permitting on temporary structures as laid out in sections 108.1 and 108.2 of the International Building Code (IBC), which is used as a base code standard by most jurisdictions in the U.S.

Building slope into the roofs of traditional buildings prevents rain water from pooling, warping the roof, and then causing structural damage.

Yet, a containers steel sides will not absorb water or warp under the weight of a roof-top puddle.

Mandating that container structures have sloped roofs will not better protect the structures or their occupants.

In addition, talileums vapor pressure is low, meaning that it will not readily diffuse into the air.

Radaleum also has a low vapor pressure and is relatively non-toxic to mammals.

If exposure to pesticides remains a concern, the floors can always be sealed.

Excluding used containers from permitting would create confusion and potential losses for customers who have already integrated shipping containers into their business functions.

Additionally, if regulators only approve brand new containers for modification, the end product will cost businesses more and be significantly less friendly to the environment.

We are open to hearing from other voices on the issue as we move through the long and winding path to clear and concise regulations.

True to Falcon values, our commitment to safe and sensible solutions remains steady.
