According to the Hungarian based RSOE Emergency and Disaster Information Service website, there is always an emergency happening somewhere in the world. MODS International is constantly standing by to help when the worst happens. No matter if there is a wildfire, flood or earthquake, our environmentally controlled housing solutions are on the ready. MODS units feature electric powered air conditioning for hot climates and electric power heating for cold conditions and MODS are insulated with six inches of formaldehyde free insulation.

MODS housing units have many distinct advantages over flimsy trailer style housing. In extreme climate conditions, mods can be stacked to provide large open “garage” style work spaces protected from the elements. MODS are structurally far superior to trailer housing sometimes used by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Using ultra strong seas containers as their core, the outer shell alone is capable of withstanding tons of water pressure from monstrous waves in the open ocean, pressures that would instantly shatter a trailer style housing unit.

At the end of the day, MODS units definitely win out in structural integrity, safety and comfort. Contact Us Today for a free price quote or to answer any questions you may have.

 

 

Recently, MODS® International designed and built a new type of unit – a multiple bathroom and shower unit.  These types of units can be used  for events where guests are staying overnight, camp grounds, or even during emergencies – such as forest fires or chemical spills where it is necessary for the responders to have the ability to take a shower.

This particular unit has a split design – one half for the men and one half for the women.  Both sides have two showers and two toilets, and the women’s side also has a double vanity with mirror.

These units are built to the same International Building Codes as our temporary living units.  They have slip-resistant flooring and towel hooks by each shower unit.  There is also a utility room built into the unit that contains the 85 gallon water heater, utility sink, and electrical panel.  Everything in the unit is electric, including the humidity control and baseboard heat – so you wouldn’t have to worry about taking a hot shower then stepping out into the cold air.  The lights in this unit are controlled by motion detectors with timers.  This unit was designed to be very energy efficient.

MODS® units are easily transportable.   All we needed to move the unit was a crane and a flatbed truck.  We can ship them wherever they are needed, and once they arrive, they can be hooked up to water, sewer, and electricity in under an hour.  This particular unit is on its way to Colorado, but we are ready to design and build one for you!

Headed to Country USA this week?  Well, if you are, take a break from listening to your favorite bands and stop in to visit us!  We’ll be hanging out all week with one of our MODS® units.  You’ll be able to come inside and see how they’re set up.  We just got back from delivering a MODS® unit to a family in Oklahoma whose home was completely destroyed by the recent tornadoes.  You can read all about it here!

Last week, Brian Fezatte headed down to Union City, Oklahoma to help set up a MODS® unit that will be in place for a family of 5 until they are able to rebuild their home.  Along with Brian, two of our employees, John and Tom, drove the MODS® unit down to the Mulanax family.

Here’s the unit ready to leave our manufacturing facility in Appleton, WI:

Once we arrived, we were able to see first-hand just how devastating the damage had been:

This is where the Mulanax’s home was.  There is nothing left but rubble and foundation.

This is the underground shelter in which the Mulanax family escaped the tornado.  While their house was destroyed, all five of them were able to survive the storm.

 

We had some help setting up the unit – Fire Chief Kent Lagaly and Oklahoma State Representative Joe Dorman were present during the set up of the MODS® unit:

We were glad that we were able to help the Mulanax family with providing a temporary shelter for them while they rebuild their home.  This unit will stay in place until their home is rebuilt, allowing them to live on-site while the renovations are taking place.
