For years, numerous organizations have relied on prefabricated emergency containers as an effective solution for providing swift assistance to disaster-affected populations, supporting healthcare facilities, and managing migrant reception.
Among others, FMB Tubes has collaborated with the Civil Protection Department, the Prefecture, and the Fire Department.
These are rapid-response housing modules featuring a steel structure and self-supporting insulated panels.
FMB’s prefabricated containers can serve as temporary accommodations for managing migration flows, housing healthcare personnel, and supporting emergency response teams. They are also ideal for triage areas and modular hospitals.
In Italy, installing a container house requires a building permit, as it is a permanent structure that modifies the territory. It is necessary to present a project signed by a qualified technician to the relevant Municipality, which will evaluate the urban and environmental compliance. For temporary uses, such as in the case of emergencies, a communication of commencement of works (CIL) may be sufficient. Consulting local regulations is essential to avoid sanctions.
The living containers are insulated using insulated panels, polyurethane foams, and materials such as rock wool or wood fiber, to ensure thermal and acoustic insulation. Thermal frames and reflective paints further improve energy efficiency, making the structure comfortable in both summer and winter.
Costs range from €1,000 to €3,000 per square meter, depending on the level of customization, materials used, and systems required.
Complex projects with high-end finishes tend to fall into the higher end.
