modpodTM Earthquake Proof Modules:
Transport Advantages over Alternative
Building Structures
modpodTM Earthquake Proof Modules are built using 20ft High Cube
•
Container dimensions for ease of transporting large volumes of
modpodTM anywhere in the world
• modpodTM Earthquake Proof Modules Use Standard Container twist
lock mechanism for securing during transport via Road, Rail, Sea or
Air, anywhere in the world
• modpodTM Earthquake Proof Modules Use Light Weight Materials
which simplifies loading or unloading (smaller cranes or fork lift trucks)
and minimises use of fuel and therefore cost during transport
• Road transport for a single modpodTM Earthquake Proof Module does
not require articulated vehicles, special permits nor police escort
• modpodTM Earthquake Proof Modules enables rapid mobilisation and
deployment for Earthquake Disaster Recovery Anywhere in the world
• modpodTM Earthquake Proof Module Mass Production Facilities can be
mobilised anywhere in the world

Prototype Durability and Ruggedness Facts
and Figures
Since July 28th 2008, the modpodTM Earthquake Proof Module Prototype has either been continuously on the road
•
or lived and worked in at remote locations, generally on rough unprepared ground

The modpodTM Earthquake Proof Module Prototype has been demonstrated at 2 major mining exhibitions in
•
Kalgoorlie WA and Mackay Qld

The modpodTM Earthquake Proof Module Prototype has travelled 26,000km, craned or fork-lifted on and off Trucks
•
and transported to different sites 16 times including being opened for living and closed for transport on each of
these occasions

The modpodTM Earthquake Proof Module Prototype has been accidentally knocked over and rolled onto it’s roof by
•
a forklift at one of the Exhibitions

The modpodTM Earthquake Proof Module Prototype has endured the foot traffic of over 3,000 people through direct
•
inspections

While transported across the Nullarbor Plain the modpodTM Earthquake Proof Module Prototype was used by the
•
driver, without air-conditioning, when the ambient outdoor temperature was 52 degrees C and the internal
temperature of the modpodTM did not exceed 29 degrees C

In WA the modpodTM Earthquake Proof Module Prototype was driven through a swarm of bees and in Mackay it
•
was pelted with hail and 188mm of rain in three days

The modpodTM Earthquake Proof Module Prototype remains in apparent pristine condition and there is no
•
discernable evidence that the prototype has suffered from any of these events
