In today’s industrial landscape, efficiency and safety are paramount. Custom electrical houses have emerged as a game-changer for industrial projects, offering numerous benefits that traditional electrical systems cannot match.
Custom electrical houses, or e-houses, are prefabricated structures that house electrical equipment and control systems for industrial projects. These modular buildings are designed to meet the specific needs of each project, providing numerous benefits for industrial applications.
Reduced On-Site Labor
Many industrial projects are located in remote areas where finding skilled labor may be difficult. Using the traditional stick-built method in these environments may take longer, risk project safety, and cause costly delays. However, utilizing modular e-houses from an experienced manufacturer can reduce the amount of on-site labor required.
During construction, on-site workers are exposed to harsh weather conditions that can lead to reduced productivity and increased costs. A modular eHouse can avoid these challenges and finish the job correctly. In addition, because the buildings are constructed indoors, sheathing can be installed, and electrical outlets can be sealed with caulk/sealant before the unit is shipped to your site. This can eliminate air infiltration common in conventionally built homes and help increase energy efficiency. This can reduce operating costs and accelerate project delivery times, allowing revenue generation to start sooner.
Enhanced Reliability
Custom electrical houses are designed and manufactured to withstand the harsh conditions often encountered in industrial settings. They are built to meet rigorous industry standards and undergo thorough testing to ensure reliability and durability. This reliability translates into reduced downtime and increased productivity. Furthermore, custom electrical houses provide scalability and future expansion options. As industrial projects evolve, additional equipment or control systems can be easily integrated into the existing e-house. This scalability allows for efficient upgrades and modifications without extensive construction or downtime.
Increased Durability
Regarding industrial projects, the quality of the electrical system can make or break a project. That’s why keeping critical equipment in the safest environment is important. E-houses (also known as E-houses) are a perfect solution for protecting electrical power distribution systems from harsh environments and other elements that could damage or lead to a system failure.
Modular E-Houses are an excellent choice for various projects, particularly in remote areas with limited access to qualified personnel. These walk-in modular buildings are fabricated in one of our many modular construction facilities, meaning minimal work is required on-site. This helps to reduce overall project costs, minimize downtime and rework, and reduce the risk of on-site issues and delays.
A modular eHouse can be designed in several ways depending on your needs. We can deliver an eHouse in a fully assembled state with the equipment and switchgear installed, or we can fabricate it in a “drop over” design so that the building is delivered to the job site and easily crane lifted over existing equipment for installation.
Cost-Effectiveness
While the initial investment in custom electrical houses may be higher than traditional electrical systems, the long-term cost savings are significant. The streamlined installation process, reduced maintenance requirements, and improved energy efficiency contribute to lower operational costs over the system’s lifespan.
Versatility
Versatility is the ability to change or adapt easily. This is a valuable trait for many industries as it allows them to adjust their services depending on the needs of their clients. This versatility is especially important in areas where the weather conditions can cause unforeseen problems with equipment. Companies often house equipment in e-houses or other enclosures to prevent such issues. These buildings are designed to protect this equipment from hazards such as dust, moisture, and temperature fluctuations.
Typically, these houses house power distribution equipment such as switchgear components, uninterruptable power supply systems, motor control centers, and electric power generators. They can also be utilized to store power cables and wires while not in use. E-houses are common in utilities, mining, oil and gas, and renewable energy industries.
Modular eHouse manufacturers can design and build various electrical house sizes, shapes, and styles. They can even incorporate ballistic-rated protection into these structures if needed. These prefabricated buildings are then delivered to the project site, ready to be installed with minimal on-site labor.
With the ability to have these buildings fabricated completely in one of their modular construction facilities, companies can save time and money on their projects. This has led to a large increase in their use across many industries in remote and rural areas.
Customization
Custom electrical houses are designed with a client’s specific project in mind and can offer unique features unavailable from off-the-shelf products. This customization allows for creating innovative solutions that would otherwise not be possible with standardized components. It helps minimize energy waste by only using the features necessary to meet a project’s requirements.
Furthermore, custom electrical houses’ rapid iteration and collaborative design capabilities can help reduce overall prototyping time. This can be critical in the industrial sector, where a single delay could significantly impact productivity and product development.
Additionally, the customization of electrical houses allows for a greater level of reliability when it comes to meeting industry-specific regulations and standards. For example, certain industries may require specialized electronics that can withstand harsh environmental conditions or stringent safety requirements. Custom electrical houses allow manufacturers to create customized circuits, printed circuit boards, and electrical components optimized for a specific product’s needs.
