What are the characteristics of prefabricated container structures built in container cities in the region? Mehmet Çankaya, CEO of Karmod, which is tripling its production rate and delivering about 70 containers to the earthquake zone every day, shared the features of the new generation of containers that meet international standards.
RESISTANCE TO 80 KILOMETER WIND
To provide an urgent solution to the urgent need for shelter in the earthquake zone, sandwich panel living containers that are quick to produce and easy to install are preferred.

Containers that are notable for their non-combustible materials, can be produced in a short time and offer long-term use with stainless galvanized steel are often preferred as a reliable and durable shelter for earthquake victims in the disaster area.
CAN BE INSTALLED IN 3 PHASES
