It’s an interesting example of using Container based Construction on a difficult access site – in this case a heavily sloping site. For those of you that have watched our stacking fundamentals video where we explain the basics of stacking containers you will notice that the container s are stacked out of their intended alignment – ie they are cross stacked. As you look through the booklet note the modification’s made to the containers to allow this style of stacking – most obvious is on the bottom container – you can see the vertical posts and reinforcement in several pictures.
