A building structure assembly includes standardized interlocking components sized to suit any particular size of building required and ISO standard shipping containers, including: at least one modular base structure, at least one modular beam structure, and at least one wall support in the form of a shipping container and a method of assembly of the building structure. Each modular beam and base structures a frame, interlocking with each other and a shipping container by corner castings with twist lock assemblies, arranged in a particular orientation with each other. The modular base structure is supported by the corner castings of a shipping container and the base structure supports an end portion of at least one modular beam structure. A modular beam structure spans shipping containers. The modular beam structures can function as roof trusses and are sized to be transported inside shipping containers.

In one embodiment, a flashing system is provided for fortifying seams between a first blast, ballistic, and forced entry resistant shelter module and a second blast, ballistic, and forced entry resistant shelter module. The system includes a first side flashing assembly for fortifying a first side seam between the first blast, ballistic, and forced entry resistant shelter module and the second blast, ballistic, and forced entry resistant shelter module, a top flashing assembly for fortifying a top seam between the first blast, ballistic, and forced entry resistant shelter module and the second blast, ballistic, and forced entry resistant shelter module, and a second side flashing assembly for fortifying a second side seam between the first blast, ballistic, and forced entry resistant shelter module and the second blast, ballistic, and forced entry resistant shelter module. The system can also include fastening assemblies for coupling the flashing assemblies with the blast, ballistic, and forced entry resistant shelter modules.

This invention describes the use of pre-packaged air shipping containers for delivery of edge data center equipment. The containers are capable of rapid deployment and positioning at the edge data center delivery site to minimize time between the order of equipment and deployment of a functioning edge data center. The containers allow for easy access, and rapid repair/replacement of modular edge data center equipment.

A modular tire service station for servicing vehicle tires includes a first pre-configured service module and a second pre-configured service module that is proximate the first module. A customer area is disposed in at least one of the first module and the second module, a tire storage area is disposed in at least one of the first module and the second module, and a tire service area is disposed in at least one of the first module and the second module.

A building unit constitutes part of a two or more story building. The building unit includes: a first unit that is pre-assembled somewhere other than at a building site and constitutes one of a plurality of floors; a second unit that is pre-assembled somewhere other than at the building site and constitutes a floor above the first unit out of the plurality of floors; and a space path (upper and lower floor air circulation duct that spatially communicates with the first unit and the second unit.

Modular units for use in creating structures, such as accessory dwelling structures, and related methods. In some embodiments, such structures may be constructed by combining an anchor unit with one or more sub-units by facing open sides of the various units towards each other and coupling them together. In some embodiments, one or more of the units may further comprise one or more partially open sides that may be formed using structural members positioned adjacent to an edge of the unit(s). Preferably the units are formed in a similar shape and/or size to standard shipping containers for ease of transport.

A system for securing modular building units to each other and a method for assembling structures using said method is disclosed. The disclosed system allows for modules to be connected to each other from an external position, without a person having to enter the modules to fasten components internally. The system and method may be used to build structures using prefabricated modules, avoiding significant amounts of onsite labor and drastically reducing the time required to erect structures.

The invention pertains to a method and system for moving or securing a mobile or prefabricated structure. The method involves the use of at least one rod having an attachment point and a brace end. The rod is run through the wall, with the attachment point extending from either the exterior roof or floor surface. A brace is coupled to the rod outside the structure, distributing force created by pulling on the attachment end. The attachment point can be coupled to a crane for lifting the structure or to a pile, such as a helical pile, anchored to the ground for securing the structure. A system that may include a prefabricated structure is provided including the rod having an attachment point and a brace. The rod may be a steel rod with a specific diameter and may include a threaded section or an eye hook as the attachment point.

A prefabricated building module constructed at a central location and delivered to a construction site via shipping using the intermodal freight transport system and having cold formed wood bracing walls to resist forces in shear and uplift while providing a continuous load path to the foundation system. The module may include interior walls to section the module into rooms and further comprises mechanical, electrical, utility and plumbing aspects of a building, capable of inspection and certification prior to delivery to the construction site. Once arrived at the construction site the building module is anchored to the building foundation and the remainder of the house is built around the building module.

Building structure with building modules made of pipes (1) and (3) culverts that pass through walls longitudinally rather than transversely, through entire modules, with pull-cables guided through the culverts of entire modules, with the pull-cables pull the building together to the shape of the desired building layout and to keep it suspended, and with, the building core made of dismantable modules tied together with flexible, vertical pull-cables, through culverts.
