Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the transportation of modular and other transportable buildings.
  • a number of styles of modular and transportable buildings are known. These range from buildings which are small enough to be assembled at a first location and transported whole to a second location, to buildings which are transported in small portions for assembly at the desired location. In this range falls buildings or building modules which are expandable between a transportable configuration and an assembled configuration. Such buildings may be arranged to be substantially in the size and shape of a standard shipping container in their transportable configuration, with panels arranged to hinge outwardly to form the assembled configuration. Such buildings or building modules have the advantage of being readily transportable using standard'containerised storage and transportation networks.
  • a building arranged for transportation by a containerised transportation network, the building including a plurality of mounting locations each arranged to receive a load supporting member, each load supporting member including at least one lifting point by which the building can be lifted during transportation, wherein the load supporting members engage with the mounting locations in a releasable fashion such that, when engaged, the weight of the building may be transferred through the mounting locations to the load supporting members, and when no longer required the load supporting members can be disengaged from the mounting locations.
  • a building module arranged for transportation by a containerised transportation network, the building module including a plurality of mounting locations each arranged to receive a load supporting member, each load supporting member including at least one lifting point by which the building module can be lifted during transportation, wherein the load supporting members engage with the mounting locations in a releasable fashion such that, when engaged, the weight of the building module may be transferred through the mounting locations to the load supporting members, and when no longer required the load supporting members can be disengaged from the mounting locations.
  • a load supporting member for a building or building module including at least lifting point by which the building or building module can be lifted during transportation, the load supporting member being arranged to engage at least one mounting location of the building or building module in a releasable fashion such that, when engaged, at least a portion of the weight of the building or building module can be transferred through the mounting location to the load supporting member, and where the load supporting member can be disengaged from the mounting location when no longer required.
  • this allows for transportation of the building or building module using standard containerised transportation networks and equipment, whilst avoiding the potentially unsightly and/or awkward presence of lifting points on assembled buildings.
  • each load supporting member comprises a single lifting point fixed by suitable means, such as butt-welding, to an attachment portion arranged for engagement with a mounting location. This allows an economy of design, and aids in ease of use.
  • the attachment portion and the mounting location are complementary in shape.
  • both the attachment portion and the mounting location are flat, and include a plurality of corresponding apertures.
  • the apertures of the attachment portion are arranged to align with the apertures of the mounting location to allow suitable fixing means such as bolts to connect the attachment portion to the mounting location.
  • the mounting locations are securely fixed to structural elements of the building or building module.
  • the mounting locations are placed in alignment with vertically aligned structural members of the building or building module, such as columns. This allows the weight of the building or module to be supported efficiently.
  • the mounting locations may be located along horizontal supporting members of the building or building module.
  • Each mounting location may extend beyond the confines of the vertical and/or horizontal members of the building or building module with which it is associated. This may allow, for instance, at least some of the apertures of the mounting location to be readily accessible for the engagement and disengagement of fastening means.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic perspective of structural elements of a building module in accordance with the present invention
  • Figure 2 is a schematic end perspective of structural elements of the building module of Figure 1 ;
  • Figure 3 is a schematic side cross sectional view of the building module of Figure 1;
  • Figure 4 is a schematic end view of the building module of Figure 1 , shown during construction;
  • Figure 5 is a plan view of structural elements of a portion of the building module of Figure 1 , including an attached load supporting member;
  • Figure 6 is a cross sectional side view of structural elements of a portion of the building module of Figure 1 , including an attached load supporting member
  • Figure 7 is a cross sectional end view of structural elements of a portion of the building module of Figure 1 , including an attached load supporting member;
  • Figure 8 is a cross sectional side view of structural elements of a portion of the building module of Figure 1 , including an attached load supporting member; and Figure 9 is a cross sectional plan view through a load supporting member attached to the building module of Figure 1.
  • the building module 10 which is moveable between a transportable configuration, as shown in Figure 1, and an assembled configuration.
  • the building module 10 When in the transportable configuration, the building module 10 has the same dimensions as a standard ISO shipping container.
  • the building module has the dimensions of a standard 40' container, having a width of about 2.4m, a height of about 2.6m v and a length of about 12.2rn. It will be appreciated that the present invention can be applied to shipping containers of other dimensions.
  • the module 10 has two end walls 12, two side walls 14, a top 16 and a base 18.
  • One of the two side walls 14a includes several panels which can hinge outwardly to move the building module 10 into its assembled configuration.
  • Each of the end walls 12 includes a plurality of vertically aligned supporting members, being columns 20. In the embodiment of the drawings, each end wall
  • the 12 includes two outer columns 20 which define comers of the module 10 and three internal columns 20.
  • the columns 20 provide structural support for the module 10.
  • the columns 20 extend between horizontal supporting members being lateral end members 22.
  • the lateral end members 22 extend across the ends of the top 16 and bottom 18 of the module 10. There are thus four such lateral end members 22.
  • the building module 10 of the drawings includes eight mounting locations
  • the mounting locations 30 are situated with two on the outside of each of the lateral end members 22. Each of the mounting locations 30 is aligned with internal columns 20. The arrangement is such the central internal column 20 of each end 12 does not have mounting locations aligned with it, but each of its two neighbouring columns 20 has mounting locations aligned both above and below the column 20. This can be perhaps most clearly seen in Figure 2.
  • Each mounting location 30 comprises a substantially, flat, rectangular plate
  • the plate 32 is preferably formed of steel.
  • the plate 32 has a width greater than that of the lateral end member 22. In the embodiment of the drawings the width of the plate 32 is about three times that of the lateral end member 22.
  • the plate has a length greater than the width of the column 20. In the embodiment of the drawings the length of the plate 32 is about four times the width of the column 20.
  • the plate 32 is located such that in the direction defined by the length of the lateral end member 22 the plate 32 is centred over the column 20. In the perpendicular direction, that is the direction defined between the respective module ends 12, the plate 32 is located such that about half of its width is internal of the lateral end member 22. In other words, the plate extends beyond the lateral end member 22 and column 20, internally of the top 16 or bottom 18 of the module 10.
  • the plate 32 is fixed to the lateral end member 22 by suitable means, such as butt-welding.
  • the plate 32 includes four apertures 34 arranged to receive fastening means such as bolts 36.
  • the plate 32 has nuts 38 aligned with each aperture 34, and welded to the internal side of the plate 32.
  • Each load supporting member 40 comprises a lifting point 42 and an attachment portion 44.
  • the lifting point 42 is lug including a recess which can be engaged by standard container moving equipment.
  • the attachment portion 44 is complementary in shape to the mounting location 30, and thus in this embodiment is a plate with four apertures in corresponding locations to the apertures 34 of the plate 32.
  • the lifting point 42 is connected to the attachment portion 44 by suitable means such as butt-welding.
  • the attachment portion 44 is engaged with the mounting location 32 by bolting the two complementary members together. When this has been done on all eight locations (four on the top 16 and four on the bottom 18 of the module
  • the modules in its transportable configuration can be readily moved by standard means within a containerised transportation network. It will be appreciated that the weight of the module 10 can be transferred through the columns 20 to the mounting locations 30 and thence to the load supporting members40.
  • the bolts 36 can be removed, thus releasing the load supporting members 40.
  • a cover plate can then be placed over the exposed mounting locations 30, with the apertures sealed by, for instance, silicone sealant.
