Strong buildings for hard places.
Steel-frame homes for high-wind regions, field clinics and emergency shelters, and buildings for remote operations.
A frame built like an industrial building.
When wind and debris hit a building, what matters is how loads travel from the roof to the ground. A ModuStrong frame is designed around that path.
Welded from roof to base
Roof, walls and base are one welded steel structure, so loads follow a continuous path down to the foundation.
Anchored to the slab
The frame is anchored to a concrete slab or foundation designed for the site's wind and soil conditions.
Steel that lasts
No rot, no termites, and a zinc-rich primer with an architectural topcoat to resist corrosion.
Built for wind, emergencies and remote sites.
Homes for high-wind regions
A reinforced version of the residential frame, with added frame and anchorage capacity for coastal and hurricane-prone areas. Engineered for each site's design wind speed.
Extra protection for walls and roof
Envelope options with added protection for walls, roof, doors and windows in severe-storm areas.
Disaster response buildings
Field clinics, emergency shelters, supply rooms and response offices that travel by truck and set up on a prepared pad.
Remote camps and field offices
Offices, operations centers, crew quarters and equipment rooms for government agencies and remote operations.
Ready before the emergency.
After a disaster, time goes into logistics, not construction. Relief units are designed to be stocked, shipped and placed as complete buildings, and to stay in service long after the emergency as clinics, offices or housing.
- Complete frames that travel by highway
- Set on a prepared pad or foundation
- Layouts for clinics, shelters, offices and storage
- Durable enough for long-term use after the response
Storm shelters and safe rooms
Storm shelters and safe rooms must be designed and tested to ICC 500 and FEMA P-361 to protect people in tornadoes and hurricanes. ModuStrong is developing shelter configurations and will only offer them once they meet those standards.
Resilience questions
Is a ModuStrong home hurricane-proof?
No building is storm-proof. A ModuStrong frame is engineered for the design wind speed of its site, and the walls, roof, windows and doors chosen for the envelope matter as much as the frame. In high-wind regions, the SafeHome configuration adds frame and anchorage capacity.
Does ModuStrong offer storm shelters or safe rooms?
Not yet. Storm shelters and safe rooms must be designed and tested to ICC 500 and FEMA P-361. They are in development and will only be offered once they meet those standards.
How quickly can relief units be deployed?
Units travel by highway as complete frames and are set on a prepared pad or foundation, so most of the work happens before they reach the site. Timing depends on the configuration, quantity and site conditions of each deployment.
