ABSTRACT:
An exclusively dry-land based modular housing unit intended for construction in floodwater-prone areas is factory built, utilizing wooden post-tension-frame construction for superior unit rigidity, and a sheathed, modular, solid foam whole-house float resides at the underside of the housing unit. A series of wooden piers serve as the housing unit fixed foundation preceding floodwater conditions. Additionally, a series of lubricated, oscillation damping, telescoping piers reside below the housing unit perimeter, and are securely and permanently connected to the perimeter beams, to serve as station keeping anchors for the housing unit during floatation and floodwater conditions. The housing unit is provided with integral water purification, septic, heating, and electrical backup systems for use during extended floodwater conditions.
