MBI et l'International Code Council collaborent à la publication d'un guide pour l'utilisation en toute sécurité des conteneurs d'expédition intermodaux ISO reconvertis en bâtiments et en éléments de construction
Plus de 30 millions de conteneurs maritimes intermodaux ISO sont utilisés dans le monde aujourd'hui. Ces conteneurs ont été construits selon les normes ISO et entretenus selon les normes définies par la "Convention sur la sécurité des conteneurs" de l'Organisation maritime internationale (OMI).
Qu'ils soient neufs ou usagés, les conteneurs sont aujourd'hui réutilisés à un rythme qui fait de leur réutilisation une industrie mondiale de plusieurs milliards de dollars. Les conteneurs sont régulièrement réutilisés et convertis pour être utilisés dans le cadre du code résidentiel international et du code du bâtiment international. En tant que matériau de construction, les applications sont très diverses, tout comme la mesure dans laquelle le conteneur est utilisé comme élément structurel du bâtiment.
Les juridictions locales et les programmes administratifs des États réagissent à la tendance croissante de la réutilisation des conteneurs d'expédition, mais peuvent être en retard en termes de réglementation et de conformité. Cette directive de l'ICC a pour but d'aider les autorités locales et nationales ainsi que les propriétaires, les architectes, les constructeurs et les ingénieurs à évaluer la manière de concevoir, d'examiner et d'approuver les conteneurs d'expédition en tant qu'élément de construction.
La ligne directrice peut être achetée à la librairie de la CCI à l'adresse www.iccsafe.org.

From Model to Machine: Why Modular Scale Is Becoming a Software Problem, not a Material One
For modular manufacturers that have already secured demand and repeatable volume, the next major constraint may no longer be forming capacity itself. Increasingly, it is the continuity of the information feeding that capacity.
Who Will Define Modular Products for AI?
Artificial intelligence is making building configurators easier and less expensive to create. This makes urgent manufacturers’ need portable product definitions, stable identities, and shared interfaces regardless of how others’ software is produced.
From BIM to Robotic Production: A Digital Workflow for Customized Components in Volumetric Modular Construction
For volumetric modular manufacturers, the value of this workflow is not simply the use of robotics. Its real value is continuity.
Helping Build a Common Framework for Modular Construction in Canada
Canada’s modular construction sector continues to gain momentum, but scaling it successfully will depend on shared expectations across design, manufacturing, approvals, and project delivery. CSA Z251 helps provide that common foundation.
Edges, Exits & Equipment: A Modular Builder’s Guide to Rooftop Access
Rooftop access belongs in the factory design. Before the modules ship, the project team should identify each route’s users, confirm applicable requirements, coordinate with the roof system and structure, and assign responsibility.
When Timber Production and Modular Construction Share One System
As demand for multifamily and workforce housing continues to outpace what conventional construction timelines can deliver, models that reduce the number of handoffs between structural fabrication and modular assembly are likely to draw more attention.
Your AI Strategy Is an Enablement Strategy
Tools will change. Teaching employees only the steps in one platform creates a narrow capability. Involving them in problem definition, process mapping, data assessment, controls, and measurement gives the organization a way to improve its systems as technology evolves.
By-Right Permitting: The Missing Lever for Scaling Modular Multifamily
Modular has already proven it can outperform traditional building methods on speed and cost per unit. The next frontier is outside the factory in the front end of the process, where projects either clear a path to construction or get stuck in review.
Remote Inspections and The Future of Factory Oversight
Remote inspection is becoming a practical part of modular construction oversight. Its value is greatest when it is used selectively, governed by clear procedures, and supported by complete traceability.
Reimagining Dry-In: How a Temporary-to-Permanent Roofing Strategy Mitigates Risk Between Modular Installation and Final Roof Construction
As volumetric modular projects continue to increase in scale and complexity, the Temporary-to-Permanent FiberTite Roof System represents an example of how traditional trade scopes can be reimagined through Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) principles.
