Container city installations continue for the safe solution of the need for shelter in the earthquake zone. The data released by the Ministry of Interior at the beginning of April show that 305 container cities have been established in the region. Work continues on container cities, which were built as a safer and healthier solution to the need for shelter caused by the earthquakes that took place on February 6th. The data released by the Ministry of Interior on April 6 showed that 10 container cities were established in 305 provinces, while the number of containers approached 50 thousand. While the Turkish industry mobilized to meet the housing need in the region, Karmod, one of the leading prefabricated building manufacturers, broke a speed record by tripling its production.
Home to 79 thousand people
The data of the Ministry of Interior showed that approximately 79 thousand people live in the container cities established in the region. In addition, it was noted that a total of 132 thousand 447 containers are planned to be installed in the region, and a significant part of the containers used for toilet and shower purposes have been put into service.
Karmod CEO Mehmet Çankaya, who shared his evaluations on the subject, said, “We know the importance of acting quickly in disaster areas and emergencies. We have accelerated our production activities since the day of the earthquake and tripled our capacity in this process. We ship 70 containers to the earthquake zone every day. We will continue to work to increase our speed even more until we reach the planned number.”
It offers the most preferred earthquake container
The company delivers two-room, 300×700 cm, 21 square meters containers with high insulation, WC and shower, kitchen sink, to the earthquake zone.
Noting that Karmod earthquake container is the most preferred structure in a short time in terms of production capacity, speed, reliability and material quality, Mehmet Çankaya said, “We keep our promises to our suppliers in the productions we carry out in our 45 thousand square meter facility and offer fast and high quality container service. Our buildings, which use the latest technologies and methods, allow to meet the housing need in the region quickly with their easy installation and durability. In addition to the earthquake container, we also manufacture prefabricated field hospital, prefabricated school and education buildings, prefabricated cafeteria structures," he said.
Craftsmen move their shops to containers
Karmod CEO Mehmet Çankaya, who stated that they contributed not only to the need for shelter but also to the continuity of trade in the region with the structures they built, concluded his evaluations with the following statements:
“The uninterrupted continuation of the tradesmen during the earthquake is also important for the normalization of life in the region. We immediately put our fast and practical solutions into action to meet the needs of tradesmen in earthquake zones. Tradesmen who transport their workplaces to containers can continue their work with less disruption. We aim to alleviate the difficulties experienced by the tradesmen who are affected by the earthquake with the structures that are produced with the latest technologies and have the highest standards in terms of safety and durability. As Karmod, which works to be a pioneer in the sector with its employment, production capacity and export successes and to provide the highest added value to the country's economy, we will continue to stand by our country, to which we owe our successes."
