He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himYes, this is the spirit of the entrepreneur who makes the reuse the business of the future. What can you do with some container that China (in trade surplus with foreign countries) no longer claims? A house, or, thinking big, a hotel!
And here the enlightened entrepreneur designs and builds a hotel, built by reusing those big boxes used for the international transport of the goods called container.
The pioneering entrepreneur in question is Travelodge and his hotel is that of Uxbridge, Londra, built entirely with prefabricated elements, the experiment perfectly succeeded. 86 containers of various sizes were used and bolted together. The exterior has been paneled and fitted with windows, resulting in a 120-room hotel.
The construction company Verbus Systems estimated that the composition of the prefabricated structure has allowed savings for the hotel chain of over half a million pounds and at least 10 weeks of construction. An additional 70% waste reduction during construction. Show. The interiors are indistinguishable from other Travelodge hotels, and after construction, the exterior betrays nothing.
In addition to Uxbridge, Travelodge also opened a hotel in Heatrow and expanded another in south-east England.
