Fire- resistant containers generally do not have building authority approval for fire protection. The building authority agreed to allow this to be offset by a comprehensive fire alarm system, thereby making the project feasible.
Site conditions that differed from those identified in preliminary surveys, as well as discrepancies between the actual layout of utilities and existing plans, resulted in delays and additional costs.
The building concept of the container facility for the interim guardhouse and a picture of the construction phase.
The guardhouse and common areas are housed in two-story container buildings, with the lightweight-construction vehicle garage situated in front of them.
