A sustainable floating and land application community based on a mass-produced modular, pre-fabricated kit of parts referred to as floating modular units (FMU) or land module units (LMU). Both modular units are designed to allow for various needs while remaining simple to deliver and assemble by hand in remote destinations prone to volatile shifts in water levels and currents. Both floating and land module units can be erected for use on land and bodies of water.

In one aspect of the invention, a foldable shelter pod is provided herein including: a top; a bottom; first and second foldable end walls; first and second foldable side walls; and, a plurality of mountable corner panels. The walls are each adjustable from an initial flat folded state to a use state where an obtuse angle is internally subtended. In the use state, first, second, third, and fourth corner openings are defined between adjacent pairs of end walls and side walls. The corner panels are mountable in the first, second, third, and fourth corner openings to brace the foldable shelter pod in an erected state.

A protective enclosure for equipment located outside, such as, for example pipeline and wellhead valves, includes a plurality of modular panels that are releasably connectable to form the enclosure into a configuration necessary to enclose and protect the equipment from the weather. The modular panels are metal structural panels having a rigid foam core to provide a desired level of insulation rating to the enclosure. In embodiments, the modular panels are configured to be assembled into one or more of a roof assembly, a gable assembly, and one or more sidewall assemblies. Assembly securing members attach the various modular panels together in a manner so as to prevent separation in a plurality of directions.

A protective enclosure for equipment located outside, such as, for example pipeline and wellhead valves, dewatering pumps, etc. includes a wall frame assembly constructed of a plurality of vertical frame members that are connected together at their tops and bottoms by a plurality of angle-iron members. Wall assemblies comprising insulated wall panels that are connected in a side-by-side relation by tongue-and-grove couplings are attached to the wall frame with the bottoms thereof supported on angle-iron members that connect the bottoms of the vertical frame members. A roof assembly can be attached to the wall frame in a stationary fashion or in a movable fashion to allow the roof to open, permitting access into the enclosure for servicing equipment housed therein. The enclosure has other features as described in the specification in further detail.

A mobile building constructed on a trailer, comprising: a wheeled trailer upon which the building is built, a floor and a plurality of walls secured to the trailer; and a roof structure, wherein external sides of the walls are braced with sheeting secured to the walls, the sheeting extending from a base of the building and securing to the roof structure.

A modular building structure that utilizes a standard, unmodified intermodal shipping container both for transport of the structural components and as an integral element of the method of construction. A modular structure kit is enclosed in the shipping container, which can be transported using all means that are standard for ISO containers. Using the preferred method of construction, the shipping container can be situated without heavy equipment. Once situated, the shipping container provides the primary support for a permanent elevated structure composed of unique components, assembled using conventional building techniques without the necessary use of heavy or specialized equipment.

The present invention relates to a modular building structure that can be used for storage in a yard or the like. It comprises a plurality of sidewall panels and roofing panels. At least some of the sidewall panels have a pair of opposing marginal edges with adjacent marginal edges being provided with flanges that can overlap one another. At least one of the marginal edges has a reinforcing channel secured to a bead portion thereof and extending along a substantial portion of the length of the bead edge.

A structure that includes strut tubes that receive and hold within them a granular material—soil, sand, gravel, regolith, or plastic pellets—to which compression is applied after loading. By this means the struts are stiffened to facilitate its use as a durable shelter. The structure is erected by inflating the strut tubes with a fluid which is then displaced with the granular material before compression is applied.

A lightweight transportable containerized shelter includes wall panels made of a non-metal composite material coated at least on its inner face with a metal layer for EMI protection. The several wall panels are secured to a metal structural frame without the use of fasteners so as to define a containerized transportable shelter. The shelter meets ISO standards 668 and 1496. The shelter provides a continuous barrier to electromagnetic signals. Moreover, the containerized shelter is amenable to nine high stacking as required for ISO certification.

This invention relates to prefabricated, lightweight, multi-component structural modular building panels and modular building systems. The said panels are framed with edge members that have a unique connecting shape, making them modular. The multi-component panel allows for design flexibility and the mass manufacturing of its components. Connectors serve as a link to assemble the panels together, and to connect them to corners, floors or foundations, roof panels and the roof apex member, and or other conventional construction elements. Connectors and members, all with unique connecting shapes, coupled with the said panels, create a structural wall, roof, similar structure or building system. Assembled panels and members incorporate the primary building structure and the building envelope. The assembled panels, members and other components of the building system, in part or whole, can be flat packed for easy transport and shipping, and can be assembled quickly and easily with semi-skilled labor.
