Shelter IT: Integrated critical infrastructure ready for field operations

Industrial shelters allow a previously designed, manufactured, and integrated solution to be transported directly to the operational site. This approach reduces the volume of work that must be performed in the field and enables the consolidation of various systems required for operation into a single unit.

For this IT application, Equipel developed a solution designed to house electrical, communications, control, and auxiliary service systems within a protected and climate-controlled environment.

The concept is based on a fundamental premise: the shelter is not merely a structure, but a comprehensive industrial solution, engineered from the outset to meet the specific needs of the facility.

Comprehensive Engineering from the Design Stage

From the initial phases of the project, the facility's requirements were analyzed to define an efficient solution in terms of space, weight, distribution, connections, and environmental conditions.

The engineering scope encompassed equipment distribution and structural support, electrical connections and cabling conduits, cable trays, and internal layout, as well as the HVAC and thermal control systems necessary for the operation of the installed equipment.

Additionally, considerations were made for the dissipation of heat generated by the equipment, auxiliary electrical services, grounding systems, and the necessary conditions for transporting and lifting the entire assembly.

Another key aspect was accessibility for operation and maintenance tasks, which was integrated right from the design phase as part of the comprehensive solution.

The structure was designed and verified taking into account equipment loads as well as operating and lifting conditions. Consequently, a robust unit was developed, fully prepared for transport and installation at the operational site.

Less Field Work, Greater Quality Control

One of the primary advantages of this concept is the optimization of field work.

By pre-integrating the main systems within the shelter, assembly, interconnection, and adjustment tasks that typically must be performed directly at the facility are significantly reduced.

In this manner, Equipel transforms an infrastructure need into an integrated, manufactured solution ready to arrive at the site and begin operations.
