1 General information
The following description refers to the specification and design of new portable, sanitary and corridor
cabins.
Our cabins match the ISO-norm dimensions and have therefore many advantages of that system. They
consist of a robust frame construction and interchangeable wall panels.
The design of the CTX standard portable cabin is labelled with 1, the CTX standard sanitary cabin with 2
and the CTX corridor cabin with 3.
All design options which are not labelled with 1 or 2 or 3 are only delivered if they are listed in the written
agreement.

- HD 384.4.482 S1:1997
- HD 384.7.711 S1:2003
Earthing: Universally usable earthing terminal:

On both short sides in the floor frame of each corner a drill hole with a
diameter of 9.4 mm is prepared for the fixture of the earthing terminal.
- The earthing terminal is fitted with an M10 screw with self-cutting thread
(tightening torque 25-30 Nm). The position of the screw is carried out in
the factory at an appropriate spot on the cabin.
- An earthing terminal is delivered with the cabin and must be installed on
site by the customer.
- The protective earthing of the cabin must be carried out by the customer
at the installation site.
- The effectiveness of the cabin's earthing connection and the
measurement of the earthing resistance or the loop resistance must be
verified by a qualified electrician on site, during the course of the
electrical inspection, prior to commissioning.
Lightning and Any measures required with regards to internal and external lightning protection
overvoltage protection (earthing, overvoltage protection devices) due to the installation site and the
sensitivity of devices used in the cabin must be observed and carried out if
necessary.
Wiring:
- Fixed cabling depending on the panel/partition configuration and the
consumers 1 / 2 / 3
- Flexible cable system with plug connectors and cables in full length
safety advice: PE rail of the distribution box must be electro-technically connected with a
1x6mm² PE cable on the inside of the roof frame with an earthing pin and may
not be removed (torque 10-15 Nm).
The cabins can be linked electrically at the external CEE plugs and sockets.
When deciding how many units to connect electrically the expected constant
current and voltage drop in the link circuits must be considered. The
commissioning has to be carried out by an approved electrician.
The manual for the assembly, start up, utilisation and maintenance of the
electrical installations is delivered in the fuse box and needs to be followed!
Before connecting the cabin to the supplying low voltage grid all appliances
(consumer loads) need to be switched off and earthing needs to be ensured
(earthing feed cable and earthing connecting lines between the cabins need to
be checked on potential equity and low Ohm level).

Attention: The supply- and connection cables are made for an operating
voltage of max. 32 Ampere. These aren't secured with a overcurrent protection
device. The connection of the cabins to the external electrical power supply may
only be undertaken by an authorised specialist company.
Before using the cabin (modular building) for the first time the effectiveness of
the protection measures for fault protection need to be checked by an
authorised specialist company in the form of an initial electrical test.
Attention: The commissioning of the boilers and/or under table units is only
permitted when they are filled!
Cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner is FORBIDDEN.
The electrical equipment of the cabin may not be cleaned by a direct water
jet under any circumstances.
 If the cabins are used in areas with increased lightning activity technical
measures for external and internal lightning protection must be provided for
a cabin (or an arrangement of several cabins) at the installation site due to
national regulations or other special requirements; a lightning protection
specialist must be contracted.
 When cabins are placed near the ocean it is necessary to consider the
special atmospheric conditions (salt content and humidity of the air) when
the intervals for the periodic inspections by the operator are defined.
 In case machines or appliances with high starting current peaks are used
(according to the manual of the respective appliances) adequate RCD/MCB
must be used.
 The electric fittings of the cabins are designed for minimal vibration
exposure. When higher loads are given, appropriate measures must be
taken according to the national technical regulations (and/or checks of the
plug or screw contacts).
 The cabins are designed for areas with little seismic activity. If the cabins
are used in areas with higher seismic activity, the country's national
regulations are valid and the equipment needs to be adjusted accordingly
 The choice of the external linking cables of the cabins has to suit the
country's national technical regulations.
 The cabins have to be secured against thermal overload with a type gL fuse
or gG with max. IN = 32A.

4 Water installations
Supply Supply using ½", ¾" or 1" 2 pipe

Supply2 sideways through the cabin wall or prepared for the connection
through the floor
Distribution without circulation line
Internal: PP-R piping (according to EN ISO 15874)
Operating pressure: Max. permitted operating / connection pressure - 4 bar

Water heating: Decentralised, by using electric boilers, size depending on the cabin type
(5, 15, 80, 150 or 300 liters 2)
ATTENTION:
Boilers with 15/80/150/300 l capacity are suitable for a max. operating pressure
of 6 bar. Any higher water pressure is reduced with an appropriate pressure
reducing valve!
Discharge: Waste water is collected via plastic pipes DN 50, DN 110 and DN 125 (external
diameter 50, 110 and 125mm) inside the cabin, and passes laterally2 through
the cabin wall. Optionally, it is possible to connect them within a modular
building between floors.
The customer must drain any sewage into an approved sewage network in
accordance with local regulations for water and faecal drains.
NOTE: Should the cabin not be used at temperatures below +3°C, the entire piping system including the
electric boiler must be emptied (risk of frost!). If residual water is left over (eg. toilet drain, siphon, etc.) an anti-
freeze agent must be added to prevent damage from water freezing. The shut-off valve on the water conduit
must always stay open.

8 Miscellaneous
8.1 Transport
Cabins must be transported on suitable trucks. The local laws for load securing must be adhered to.
Cabins are not suitable for rail transport. Cabins must be transported empty.
Portable cabins can also be delivered flatpacked (Transpack).

Standard package height 648 mm. Four cabins stacked on top of each other have the same external dimensions
as a fully assembled cabin..
TP package heights (depending on specification and cabin size):
- 864 mm - standard with CAH 2,800 mm and 2,960 mm
- 648 mm - standard with CAH 2,591
- 515 mm - depending on layout

8.2 Handling
The following handling instructions for 10', 16', 20', 24' and 30' cabins (assembled or flatpacked) must be
observed:
1. 10', 16', 20' and 24' cabins and/or packages can be lifted with a forklift (length of fork minimum 2,450
mm, minimum width 200 mm) or by crane. Slings must be fastened to the upper corners of the cabin
(10', 16', 20') or the eyebolts/crane eyes (24'). The angle between the chains and the horizontal line
must be a minimum of 60° (Fig. 1 or Fig. 3). The necessary chain length for a 20' cabin is at least 6.5
m.
2. 30' cabins or packages can be lifted by crane. Ropes/chains must be fastened to the eyebolts/crane
eyes screwed on at the top. The angle between the rope/chain and the horizontal line must be a
minimum of 60° (picture 3).
3. Due to the construction and design, handling with a spreader is not possible.
4. Cabins may not be handled when loaded.
5. Only individual cabins or packages may be lifted.
6. 4 stacking cones (in the cabin corners) each and 2 support wedges each for 10', 16' and 20' cabins (1
piece on each side of the long side roof section - fig. 2) or 4 support wedges each for 24' and 30'
cabins (2 pieces on each side of the long side roof section - fig. 4) must be used between the
individual packages.
7. Do not place any extra weight on the top package!
8. You must only stack max. 5 packages on top of each other. Possible package heights see 8.1.

8.3 Installation / Assembly / Structural / Maintenance

In General:
Each individual cabin must be placed onto foundations provided on site with at least 4 points of support for
10' cabins, 6 points of support for 16' and 20' cabins and at least 8 points of support for 24' and 30' cabins
(annex 9.4. to 9.7.). The dimensions of the foundation has to be adapted to local circumstances, norms and
frost line, under consideration of the local soil condition and the maximum possible loads. The levelness of
the foundation is a precondition for a smooth assembly and the failure-free standing of the entire
construction. Should the foundation points not be level, these must be levelled by using shims with minimum
width of the floor frame profile. The design of the foundations must ensure a free flow of rain water and
sufficient ventilation underneath.
During set up or placement of the cabin (constructions), maximum permitted loads and regional conditions
(e.g. snow loads) must be taken into account. After removing the transport covers, the holes in the floor
frame must be sealed with silicone. Packaging and transport covers must be disposed of by the customer.
Possible combinations of several cabins:

Individual cabins can be selectively configured next to, behind, or on top of each other, while bearing in mind
the structural indications and the max. permitted loads. For one-level (ground level) constructions, the cabins
may be placed arbitrarily and without restriction regarding quantity. For two- and three-storey buildings, the
permitted arrangement and combination possibilities presented in annex 9.1. to 9.3. must be observed.
In the event that the cabins are linked in other combinations than those presented in annex 9.1. to 9.3., no
information can be given about the max. permitted pay, snow and wind loads. We categorically recommend
refraining from such a practice or carrying out additional anchorings (bracing, boltings, supports etc.) and/or
strengthening with the approval of authorised experts.
The cabins must be stacked exactly on top of each other. You must use the special CTX stacking cones and
support wedges provided. The cabin roof is not suitable for storage of any kind.
The CONTAINEX assembly instructions and the service notes must be adhered to and can be sent upon
request. Handling and installation instructions are enclosed in the cabin and must be observed.
Before starting the work, a risk analysis must be carried out in accordance with the local requirements and
the applicable provisions on site. Necessary measures must be implemented by the assembly personnel.
Particularly when working on the cabin roof, safeguards must be put in place to stop anyone from falling.
Sanitary fittings:
After connecting to the water supply the entire water circulation should be checked once more for water
tightness (possible loosening during transport). Water pipes must be flushed when commissioning and after
long periods of inactivity.

CONTAINEX refuses any warranty for damages, which may result from installations contrary to these
principles. Liability for consequential damages is excluded in principle.
Further technical information upon request.
Regulatory and legal requirements regarding storage, installation and use of cabins must be observed by the
customer.
The suitability of the cabin (modular system) and any supplied accessories (e.g. stairs, air conditioning etc.)
for the planned application must be checked by the customer.
Subject to technical alterations!

9.4 Generic foundation plan for cabins with standard payloads (according
to 1.5.1.)
Foundations must be adapted to local conditions, standards and the depth of frost, taking into
account the nature of the soil and the maximum loads that may occur. The customer must carry out
the relevant measures.

When using twice the number of floor cross beams including additional longitudinal beams, strip
foundations must be created.

When combining several cabins higher loads at the inner foundation points have to be considered -
as illustrated.
Note for 24' and 30': The support post must be used at an open long side joint. The support post
may be positioned anywhere between the specified values on an additional foundation point.
