Abstract

A method of deploying a cooperating set of prefabricated structure comprises positioning a first prefabricated structure, which includes a first shell and a first extension nested within the first shell, the first shell and first extension have corresponding frames that form channels to communicate utilities. The first shell is supported and the first extension is deployed and supported. A first deck hingedly connected to the first shell is deployed and supported. A second prefabricated structure is positioned, which includes a second shell and a second extension nested within the second shell, the second shell and second extension have corresponding frames that form channels to communicate utilities. The second shell is supported and the second extension is deployed and supported. A second deck hingedly connected to the second shell is deployed and supported. Utilities including one or more of electrical wiring, supply water duct, and grey water duct of the first prefabricated structure and the second prefabricated structure are connected so that the first prefabricated structure and the second prefabricated structure share a common utility system.

Claims (67)

1 . A method of deploying a cooperating set of prefabricated structure comprising:

positioning a first prefabricated structure including a first shell and a first extension nested within the first shell, the first shell and first extension having corresponding frames that form channels to communicate utilities;

supporting the first shell;

deploying the first extension;

supporting the first extension;

deploying a first deck hingedly connected to the first shell;

supporting the first deck;

positioning a second prefabricated structure including a second shell and a second extension nested within the second shell, the second shell and second extension having corresponding frames that form channels to communicate utilities;

supporting the second shell;

deploying the second extension;

supporting the first extension;

deploying a second deck hingedly connected to the second shell;

supporting the second deck; and

connecting utilities including one or more of electrical wiring, supply water duct, and grey water duct of the first prefabricated structure and the second prefabricated structure so that the first prefabricated structure and the second prefabricated structure share a common utility system.

2 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:

positioning a third prefabricated structure including a third shell and a third extension nested within the third shell, the third shell and third extension having corresponding frames that form channels to communicate utilities;

supporting the third shell;

deploying the third extension;

supporting the third extension;

deploying a third deck hingedly connected to the third shell;

supporting the third deck;

wherein positioning the third prefabricated structure further includes positioning the third prefabricated structure transverse to the first prefabricated structure and the second prefabricated structure so that the third deck abuts the first deck and the second deck;

positioning a fourth prefabricated structure including a fourth shell and a fourth extension nested within the fourth shell, the fourth shell and fourth extension having corresponding frames that form channels to communicate utilities;

supporting the fourth shell;

deploying the fourth extension;

supporting the fourth extension;

deploying a fourth deck hingedly connected to the fourth shell;

supporting the fourth deck;

wherein positioning the fourth prefabricated structure further includes positioning the fourth prefabricated structure transverse to the first prefabricated structure and the second prefabricated structure and opposite the third prefabricated structure so that the fourth deck abuts the first deck and the second deck; and

connecting utilities including one or more of electrical wiring, supply water duct, and grey water duct of the third prefabricated structure and the fourth prefabricated structure to the common utility system.

3 . The method of claim 2 further comprising:

positioning a fifth prefabricated structure including a fifth shell and a fifth extension nested within the fifth shell, the fifth shell and fifth extension having corresponding frames that form channels communicating electrical wiring;

supporting the fifth shell;

deploying the fifth extension;

supporting the fifth extension;

deploying a fifth deck hingedly connected to the fifth shell;

supporting the fifth deck;

wherein positioning the fifth prefabricated structure further includes positioning the fifth prefabricated structure transverse to the third prefabricated structure so that the fifth deck abuts the third deck and extends along approximately half the length of the second extension of the second prefabricated structure;

positioning a sixth prefabricated structure including a sixth shell and a sixth extension nested within the sixth shell, the sixth shell and sixth extension having corresponding frames that form channels communicating electrical wiring;

supporting the sixth shell;

deploying the sixth extension;

supporting the sixth extension;

deploying a sixth deck hingedly connected to the sixth shell;

supporting the sixth deck;

wherein positioning the sixth prefabricated structure further includes positioning the sixth prefabricated structure transverse to the fourth prefabricated structure so that the sixth deck abuts the fourth deck and the fifth deck and extends along approximately half the length of the second extension of the second prefabricated structure;

positioning a seventh prefabricated structure including a seventh shell and a seventh extension nested within the seventh shell, the seventh shell and seventh extension having corresponding frames that form channels communicating electrical wiring;

supporting the seventh shell;

deploying the seventh extension;

supporting the seventh extension;

deploying a seventh deck hingedly connected to the seventh shell;

supporting the seventh deck;

wherein positioning the seventh prefabricated structure further includes positioning the seventh prefabricated structure transverse to the third prefabricated structure so that the seventh deck abuts the third deck and extends along approximately half the length of the first extension of the first prefabricated structure;

positioning a eighth prefabricated structure including a eighth shell and a eighth extension nested within the eighth shell, the eighth shell and eighth extension having corresponding frames that form channels communicating electrical wiring;

supporting the eighth shell;

deploying the eighth extension;

supporting the eighth extension;

deploying a eighth deck hingedly connected to the eighth shell;

supporting the eighth deck;

wherein positioning the eighth prefabricated structure further includes positioning the eighth prefabricated structure transverse to the fourth prefabricated structure so that the eighth deck abuts the fourth deck and the seventh deck and extends along approximately half the length of the first extension of the first prefabricated structure;

connecting utilities including one or more of electrical wiring, supply water duct, and grey water duct of the fifth prefabricated structure, the sixth prefabricated structure, the seventh prefabricated structure, and the eighth prefabricated structure to the common utility system.

4 . The method of claim 1 wherein the first shell frame and the second shell frame include columns; the method further comprising:

mating a canopy to a pair of columns of the first shell frame and a pair of columns of the second shell frame so that the canopy spans the first deck and the second deck.

5 . The method of claim 4 further comprising:

connecting gutters associated with the canopy to a supply water duct communicated by the first shell frame and the second shell frame.

6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

purifying water collected by the gutters; and

communicating the purified water to the supply water system.
