Temporary Bridges
The broken steel and road of Baltimore's collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge may remain blocking the shipping lane to the city's port, but the Key Bridge Response Unified Command has opened a third temporary channel that allows "commercially vital vessels" to move through. The new route is a 35-foot-deep alternate route that runs through the wreckage site. It will likely remain open until all the steel from the Dali cargo vessel is removed.
These types of temporary structures are usually seen bridging rivers or sections of uneven terrain on construction sites, and they can also be used to redirect road traffic during construction projects. They can be set up in a matter of hours and are flat packed to make it easy to store and transport. Smaller versions can be used by pedestrians to ensure that they are able to safely cross construction sites.
The larger versions of these structures are able of crossing railway lines or rivers, and even being rated as fully highway rated. These bridges are used to direct traffic around impassable obstructions or to allow heavy vehicles to reach remote mining or oil sites. These bridges are constructed in sections which can be joined in any way required, and generally are sold in a set of pre-made parts that are assembled on site.
Some bridges can be protected from the impact of large vessels by through a raised seafloor and "fender systems" that protect them from the forces of waves or other debris. Verrazzano Narrows Bridge is a prime instance. Its tower base is a rock-island that protects it.
Double door tunnel containers are a great way for businesses to manage ticket check-ins at events. They can keep people out of direct sunlight and rain while they check-in.

Security
The security of a shipping container is an important security concern. These robust structures serve as guardians of trade, securing the goods from extreme weather conditions and theft. Containers have robust locking mechanisms, but they can be smashed by criminals who are determined and have the appropriate tools. There are a variety of preventative measures and deterrents that can be implemented to safeguard your possessions.
A shipping container, for example is able to be fitted with an internal security system, such as CCTV that monitors and track movement within the premises. This is especially useful when you use your container for storage like a business or organization that wants to track its stock. They are also equipped with alarms that sound when someone tries to break in.
Another effective deterrent to theft is to add a layer of security by fitting an alarm that is tamperproof. This kind lock can be used to secure a door on containers without the requirement of keys, making it more difficult for criminals to gain access to your possessions.
A floodlight can also be used as a visual deterrent for criminals. It can be activated by any movement in the vicinity of the container. These lights can also work all night, providing light for any intruders, and helping to scare them away from the property.
Another option to increase security is to buy a Tunnel shipping container, also referred to as double-door containers. These are single-trip containers that come with the standard double doors on both sides of the container, not only on the front end. This makes it much easier to load and unload cargo. It also means that you don't need to unload everything in order to gain access to something in the back of the unit. Businesses and organisations who utilize their containers to store equipment and machinery, such as boiler rooms and machinery stores are fond of tunnel containers. They can be used for temporary bridges and ticket entry points for large events.
