ICE Folding structures

shrinkable, portable, and prefabricated structures for permanent housing: A solution for the need for massive, quick, and permanent accommodation in emergencies

Features: mass production capability, the ability to be folded into the standard size of road transportation by conventional road vehicles, the ability to install and operate quickly

Natural disasters cause significant human and financial losses due to inadequate preparation. While these disasters occur globally, their severity varies by region and country. Iran ranks among the top ten countries most affected by natural disasters, with floods, earthquakes, and storms being particularly deadly.

The extensive damage caused by natural disasters to buildings and infrastructure often results in widespread homelessness. Therefore, providing suitable housing quickly becomes a critical need for affected populations. Temporary solutions like tents or shanties have been used, but they are inefficient and often become long-term housing due to delays in building permanent structures, causing further problems for the displaced population

Until infrastructure is restored and reconstruction is complete, residents remain in critical and emergency conditions, potentially leading to more severe long-term consequences. To address this issue, we propose the use of shrinkable and portable prefabricated structures. These structures can be quickly deployed and installed, providing suitable and permanent housing for affected populations immediately after a disaster.

The construction of shrinkable and portable prefabricated structures offers a rapid solution for providing large-scale, permanent, and emergency housing in regions affected by natural disasters. Additionally, these structures can be expanded for non-residential uses and in non-emergency situations.

Due to their ability to be bulk-produced, prefabricated, and easily transported, these structures can significantly reduce both costs and construction time. They are manufactured as industrial products, ready to be transported, installed, and utilized anywhere.

Thus, shrinkable and portable prefabricated structures are highly efficient not only in crisis and emergencies but also for non-emergency housing needs. They enable the mass production of housing, reducing construction costs and allowing for quick deployment. This capability can positively impact the housing market and the country’s economy by improving efficiency and productivity.

Features of folding structures

Industrial mass production capability
Ability to prefab units
The ability to choose internal divisions with the required dimensions and specifications
The ability to build based on different required uses
Ability to supply required facilities (water, electricity and gas)
Ability to connect to municipal sewage, septic tank or well
Ability to provide additional equipment and devices for units
Ability to assemble as a complete unit in a container
The ability to fold into the dimensions of the permitted load that can be transported by road
Ability to load and transport to all parts of the country
The ability to quickly unload and install on site
Usability after installation

Applications of folding structures

Residential use (one unit - two units in each package)
Villa units
Administrative and service offices
Store collections
Bank branches
Public uses (police, school, etc.)
Crisis management headquarters such as (Shelter)
Clinics and hospitals
Telecommunication offices like (BTS)
Warehouse and equipment
Food storage such as (refrigerators)

System Features in Shrink Mode

One of the key features of shrinkable structures is their ability to be compacted to specific dimensions, facilitating easy transportation across the country. This process can be completed quickly and without special equipment, allowing the structure to be moved and placed at the desired location efficiently.

The system’s dimensions are designed to comply with the cargo limits of the public transportation system. In its shrink state, the structure has the following general dimensions and specifications:

It can be assembled as a complete unit in a package
It can be folded to fit within the permitted load dimensions for road transport
It can be loaded and transported to any part of the country
Dimensions when folded: length 10 meters, width 2.5 meters, height 3 meters

Features of the System in Expanded Mode

Another important feature is the system’s ability to be quickly unloaded, installed, and made operational on-site. After being transported by truck and unloaded at the designated location, the structure can be rapidly expanded and installed according to the architectural plan. Internal devices and equipment are then installed based on location maps, making the structure ready for use.
