Qatar World Cup Fans' Village
These "Chinese red" container houses, named "ZN-HOUSE," are less than 1 km away from the main stadium of the World Cup in Qatar, "Lusail." Following the footage of the video connection, the reporter saw that each box room is 16 square meters, with two single beds, bedside tables, wardrobes, and a bathroom, including a shower room. Even a mini coffee bar is cleverly arranged.

From Suzhou to Qatar, the distance is nearly 7,000 kilometers. Why can private enterprises in Wujiang "participate" in the World Cup? "It's also fate." Chen Xia, general manager of Zhongnan Steel Structure, said that at the end of March this year, they received an email from Qatar saying that the World Cup needed container rooms to serve as fast hotels for fans. The sender of the email is the largest construction company in Qatar. Thus, the two parties communicated in detail about the technology and services of the container house through emails. In addition, an order for 1,000 sets of container hotels was successfully placed.

On July 8, the first batch of container houses was delivered. At the beginning of September, Qatar received the goods, and the person in charge of the on-site installation spoke highly of them: "Regardless of quality control and delivery date, it is reassuring." Moreover, Zhongnan Steel Structure Co., Ltd. can consider issues from the perspective of customers and cooperate very tacitly. Based on trust, the buyers of the Qatar World Cup decided to add 60 sets of container shops and 60 sets of mobile toilets.

Chen Xia said that Qatar found us because the construction of the "Thunder Mountain" and "Vulcan Mountain" shelter hospitals in Wuhan left a deep impression on them. On the other hand, Zhongnan Steel Structure Co., Ltd.'s rich overseas engineering experience and high-tech enterprise background make them favor it.
"The higher the trust, the heavier the responsibility, especially in the face of such a large number of transnational orders." Lu Qiudong, deputy general manager of Zhongnan Steel Structure. To facilitate long-distance transportation, each container must be disassembled into more than 100 prefabricated parts, which are transported to Qatar and assembled. The accuracy of each component and screw hole must be less than 1 cm, and the accuracy of key structures must be less than 5 mm. Such a requirement is as difficult as threading a needle.
Moreover, during the World Cup in Qatar, the temperature in the Gulf region reached 25°–30°C. Container hotels in the open air will be very stuffy without technical treatment. For this reason, Zhongnan cleverly and comprehensively uses "turning parts into wholes" and "breaking things into parts" to find a balance between the speed and precision of production and installation. At the same time, living comfort is greatly improved through "high bulk density" and "high density" sandwich panels, which add insulation layers to the bottom and top.

Regardless of quality control or delivery control, Qatar is very satisfied with the container houses we manufacture. For the construction of Qatar's "Fans Village," prefabricated products saved a lot of time." Chen Xia said that Zhongnan Steel Structure Co., Ltd. has three years of export experience. This cooperation has formed a close relationship with Qatar and laid a stable foundation for the company to participate in more foreign project construction.
Journalists interviewed Ms. Chen Xia.
According to related news reports, the price of a container house has reached 200 US dollars per night, which is equivalent to the price of a star hotel!" The World Cup is an excellent stage to showcase 'Made in China.' It is a rare experience for our company." said Qian Xiaohui, chairman of Zhongnan Steel Structure Co., Ltd. I feel the comfort of home, and I hope that with the influence of the World Cup, Chinese container houses can reach every corner of the world.
