Switchgear Rooms

Acoustic and Thermal Protection for LV and HV Switchgear Equipment

Description
Technical Data

Switchgear rooms are custom acoustic switchgear enclosures designed and manufactured to provide switchgear noise control for low voltage and high voltage equipment. Each room houses LV and HV switchgear within a noise-controlled structure that also provides thermal protection for the housed equipment.

Switchgear rooms are prefabricated to house any type of switchgear equipment and manufactured to suit project-specific requirements. Structural support is incorporated into welded baseplates to provide load-bearing capability for heavy switchgear items.

Typical equipment housed within switchgear rooms includes power transformers, cooling fans and ventilation systems and switchgear operation reactors and inductors.

Construction: Switchgear rooms are prefabricated custom structures built to project-specific requirements. Welded baseplates provide structural support for heavy switchgear items.

Protection: Rooms provide both acoustic and thermal protection for housed equipment.

Equipment Housed: Power transformers, cooling fans and ventilation systems, switchgear operation reactors and inductors.

Applications: Low voltage and high voltage switchgear enclosures across general industrial, manufacturing, power generation and oil and gas environments.

Custom designed

Each switchgear room is designed and prefabricated to project-specific requirements, accommodating any type and specification of LV and HV switchgear equipment.

Structural integrity

Structural support is incorporated into welded baseplates to provide load-bearing capability for heavy switchgear items, ensuring stable and secure installation in demanding industrial environments.

Thermal and acoustic Protection

Switchgear rooms provide both thermal insulation and noise control, protecting housed equipment and reducing noise exposure for workers and surrounding areas.

Relevant Industries

Oil and gas refineries, natural gas processing plants and LNG facilities represent remarkably intensive and acoustically challenging industrial environments, generating intense noise levels from complex processing equipment, high-pressure systems and continuous operations. Hydrocarbon processing facilities require comprehensive noise control solutions to ensure worker safety, regulatory compliance, community relations and operational efficiency.

Industrial applications generate considerable noise as a result of high-capacity machinery, continuous operations and complex infrastructure. Without proper noise control, these environments can pose risks to employee health, disrupt surrounding communities and violate environmental and occupational noise regulations. Implementing tailored noise mitigation solutions of acoustic walls, noise barriers and silencers while utilizing acoustic modeling, CFD, FEA and noise measurements to design solutions not only supports safety, but also enhances operational efficiency and community relations.
