Benefits of technology

The patent describes a modular building and a way to construct it using aluminum and special fireproof material. The walls are designed to be fireproof to prevent any potential fire hazards. Aluminum is a lighter material than steel, which makes it safer to lift and reduces fuel consumption. Aluminum does not corrode quickly in marine environments, so there is no need for expensive coating systems to protect it. Overall, this invention provides a more efficient and maintenance-friendly solution for some of the challenges in the marine construction industry.

Problems solved by technology

First, Aluminum is considerably lighter, due to the crane capacities on offshore floating platforms and boats, the lighter the building the safer it is to lift.

Embodiment Construction

[0044]FIGS. 1-25 illustrate a preferred embodiment and the modular accommodations module and method of erecting same in the present invention. First, in a discussion of the overall invention, reference should be first made to FIGS. 1-4 which illustrate the accommodations module 10 (hereinafter called module 10), which comprises an interior living quarters 12 constructed of aluminum placed within an exterior protective shell 14, which is also constructed of lightweight aluminum, with the walls of the exterior protective shell 14 having no contact whatsoever in the wall space there between.

[0045]As seen first in FIG. 1, there is illustrated the substantially rectangular interior living quarters 12 having a pair of parallel side walls 17 and 19 and end walls 20 and 22 with doorways 24 therein. There is further provided a ceiling portion 26 and a floor portion 28, all of which define the interior living quarters 12. As stated earlier, the four walls, ceiling and floor of this living qua...

Abstract

A modular building and a method of constructing a United States Coast Guard certified modular building for utilization on USCG approved vessels, out of aluminum and special Firemaster Marine Blanketing material. Under the method of the present invention, the walls are constructed as to not be connected, allow the fire insulation blanketing to be a prime barrier to potential fire hazards. Due to several reasons aluminum can be a better material than steel to utilize for the purpose of marine accommoda tions. Aluminum is considerably lighter, due to the crane capacities on offshore floating platforms and boats, the lighter the building the safer it is to lift.
