Systems, methods, and building block modules for modular power generation facilities are disclosed. A modular power generation facility includes a plurality of primary modules and a control system. Each primary module includes eight primary corners and an interior space. The modules are positioned in a vertical stack and are attached together to form a substantially modular enclosure for the generation of electricity. The modules include gen-set modules, each having an engine-generator and a fuel tank disposed in the interior, and a switchgear module having switchgear ganged to the gen-set modules. The control system communicates with the gen-set modules to coordinate the engine-generators as a unit and to control the loading of each of the generators in response to a power load demand. The control system is disposed in one or more of the primary modules with at least part of the control system being disposed in the switchgear module.

Systems, methods, and building block modules for modular power generation facilities are disclosed. A multi-stack modular power generation facility includes first and second pluralities of primary modules and first and second control systems. The first modules are positioned in a first stack to form a first vertical enclosure; the second modules are positioned in a second stack to form a second vertical enclosure; and the first and second modules each include gen-set modules, each with an engine-generator, and a switchgear module ganged to the gen-set modules. Each control system communicates with the respective gen-set modules to coordinate the engine-generators as a unit and to control the loading of each of the generators in response to a power load demand. The second plurality of primary modules are disposed immediately adjacent the first plurality of primary modules such that the second vertical enclosure abuts the first vertical enclosure.

The proposed invention relates to a pipe intermodal logistics apparatus and system to facilitate the transportation and storage of industrial pipe The pipe intermodal logistics apparatus includes a lower clamp which embraces the weight of one or more pipes, and an upper clamp which engages the upper surfaces of the one or more pipes to be transported. The lower and upper clamps each frictionally engage with surfaces of the one or more pipes to prevent longitudinal and lateral movement of the pipes during transportation.

A collapsible shipping container has a corner post located at each corner of a base frame. A respective stile of an end cover frame, which may support at least one door, is pivotally mounted on the base frame adjacent each corner post. Respective lifting members on each corner post and stile have curved abutment faces which engage when the stile is in the erected position, and a latch member releasably locks the stile in the erected position. The or each end cover frame may be provided with a springor winch system to assist in moving the end cover frame to the erected position.

An interconnector for coupling together an adjacent pair of freight containers (100, 101) having ISO corner fittings (102). The interconnector has a rotatable shaft (405) and a pair of clamping heads (403, 404, 1100) provided at each end of the shaft (405). The shaft (405) is mounted within a housing (401) and the clamping heads (403, 404, 1100) are capable of axial rotation with the shaft (405) relative to the housing (401). One clamping head (403, 404, 1100) has a profiled guide surface to be rotatable by engaging contact with the ISO corner fitting (102). The clamping heads (403, 404, 1100) are biased to a clamping position by a bias actuator, such that the interconnector may be regarded as an automatic or semi-automatic twist lock interconnector.

A cargo transport system comprising a spine assembly and a container assembly. The spine assembly comprises a rigid spine and a plurality of mounts arranged on the rigid spine in a plurality of mount rows. The container assembly comprises a plurality of containers and is secured to the spine assembly using at least a subset of the plurality of mounts. Each container of the plurality of containers comprises a plurality of fittings for securing the container to the spine assembly and/or another container of the container assembly. Each mount row extends along a width of the spine assembly, and the plurality of mount rows are spaced apart at regular distance intervals along a length of the spine.

A prefabricated mobile structure (e.g., substantially in the shape of a rectangular prism) that is substantially shorter than a standard 20-foot shipping container. The mobile structure includes an extension member extending outwardly from each respective upper corner of the structure substantially parallel to the structure's primary axis. Each extension member comprises an attachment point that is adapted to connect with a support portion of a spreader configured to engage with corner fittings of a standard 20-foot freight container. The respective extension members effectively extend the length of the attachment profile of the mobile structure while maintaining a shorter primary body portion. This may allow the prefabricated mobile structure to, for example, be lifted by a lifting device, such as a spreader, that is adapted for lifting a standard 20-foot shipping container while the prefabricated mobile structure's body remains compact enough to be loaded onto a CROP sled for transport.

A twistlock for securing a structure to a corner fitting having an ISO aperture. The twistlock includes a main body, a first clamping cam toggle pivotally mounted within the main body and a second clamping cam toggle pivotally mounted within the main body. The twistlock also includes a T-clamp screw having a body portion, a threaded end portion and a clamping portion, where the body portion extends through an opening in the main body and between the first and second cam toggles so that the clamping portion is positioned adjacent to an outside of a bottom wall of the main body. The T-clamp screw is rotatable to engage an underside of a wall in the corner fitting and the first and second cam toggles are pivotable to engage edges of the aperture in the fitting.

A twistlock assembly includes a twistlock having a housing extending along a twistlock axis. A pin is coupled to the housing at a location lateral to the twistlock axis and extends along a pin axis. A pin supporting member is arranged coaxially with the pin, which is slideable along the pin axis with respect to the supporting member. The supporting member is coupled to a shipping unit proximate a female fitment having an aperture. By sliding the pin along the pin axis and rotating the twistlock around the pin axis, the twistlock is moved from a use position in which the twistlock axis is aligned with the aperture and the twistlock is seated on the fitment, to a stowed position in which the twistlock axis is located laterally with respect to the aperture and the twistlock is coupled to the shipping unit by way of the pin and supporting member.
