[Expanding Aluminum Applications] Prefabricated Aluminum Alloy Houses Assist in Building COVID-19 Isolation Facilities

Recently, many cities across the country are preparing international health stations as new temporary isolation sites. To standardize control, improve epidemic prevention, and meet the needs for rapid construction and flexible assembly, prefabricated aluminum alloy houses are quietly becoming the "new favorite" in the construction of isolation sites. Last year, the Hong Kong Zhu Gaowan Quarantine Center successfully promoted the use of quickly constructed prefabricated aluminum alloy houses.

Prefabricated aluminum alloy houses can be produced on a large scale with standardized production, convenient transportation, rapid installation, strict compliance with epidemic prevention specifications in construction details, and an aesthetically pleasing appearance, making them a "magical tool" for epidemic prevention. It is understood that prefabricated technology can be vividly described as "building houses with building blocks". The partial or complete structure of the house is produced and assembled in a prefabrication factory, and after being transported to the construction site, it only needs to be positioned and assembled to be put into use, which can greatly save manpower, material resources, and time. The "Chinese speed" of the "Leishenshan" and "Huoshenshan" hospitals is a vivid interpretation of the efficient advantages of prefabricated houses. Prefabricated buildings can use various materials, among which aluminum alloy has characteristics such as low density, high specific strength, and high specific stiffness, making it both lightweight and high-strength, ensuring safety for residents. At the same time, aluminum alloy is easy to shape and has high processing precision, resulting in houses with good sealing properties that can also be equipped with medical equipment to become "negative pressure wards" for treating critically ill patients. In addition, aluminum alloy is corrosion-resistant, has low maintenance costs, and can be designed in various appearances. Overall, aluminum alloy is particularly suitable as a medical building material for prefabricated houses.

Prefabricated aluminum alloy houses are easy to modify and reorganize. They can not only be built as "houses of life" for epidemic prevention during special periods but can also be transformed according to needs after completing quarantine tasks, turning into vacation homes, gyms, medical centers, and other public facilities that benefit residents' daily lives. At the same time, the advantages of aluminum material in recycling and environmental protection will also contribute to the achievement of the country's "dual carbon" goals.
