A Homeless Shelter In Los Angeles Is Built Using Stacked Shipping Containers
In Southern California, housing developments were frequently constructed one board at a time, but a design and build team in Los Angeles has created a modular development for the homeless that they claim is less expensive and faster to build. The Alvarado project, which is located at 166 S. Alvarado St. in Los Angeles, is a modern five-story building constructed of pre-designed steel modular units that were craned, stacked, and fastened like giant Legos.
In 2013, two young business people in Los Angeles started Local Roots. Their initial purchases were a pair of 40-foot shipping containers that had been deconstructed to save on transportation expenses. After turning them into modular, shippable, and configurable farms that can produce up to five acres of farmland, Local Roots aims to supplement rather than replace outdoor farming.
The TerraFarm is an agricultural work of art with temperature controls and water systems that keep the waste at bay. Their shipping container–turned–city farms are kept warm and controlled thanks to recirculating hydroponic watering systems that use 99 percent less water than conventional outdoor farming. They also developed a unique LED lighting system for vertical farming beds that allows
According to the company, container farms can potentially reduce agricultural time in half when compared to traditional farming. A container of TerraFarm harvests 4,000 heads of lettuce every 10 to 12 days and matures a seed to a full head of lettuce in 30 days. Traditional outdoor farming may take 60 to 70 days to reach this goal, depending on the weather, conventional outdoor farming may take 60 to 70 days to achieve this.

Shipping your container internationally?
You will need a cargo worthy container that has passed a survey inspection. Our network of IICL certified inspectors can provide an independent survey inspection that ensures that your “shipper owned container” is cargo-worthy/seaworthy.
They will provide a one-page inspection detailing any necessary repairs and will certify that your shipping container is structurally sound and good for international shipping.
They will apply a new CSC (Convention for Safe Containers) sticker showing that your container has passed. This sticker is good for 1 year.
If your container needs repair, the certificate will be applied once the necessary repairs are made.
