In demanding industries such as oil & gas, mining, or renewable energy, having reliable infrastructure for critical equipment is paramount. Enter the 40ft MCC Shelter, a specialized container solution designed and manufactured by TLS Offshore Containers, a leader in providing durable and functional offshore containers.
 
What is a 40ft MCC Shelter?
MCC stands for Motor Control Center, a critical component in electrical power distribution systems. It houses various electrical control devices such as circuit breakers, contactors, and relays, responsible for controlling and protecting motors and other electrical equipment.
 
A 40ft MCC Shelter is essentially a 40ft shipping container modified to provide a secure, weather-resistant, and climate-controlled environment for housing MCCs. It offers a self-contained solution for deploying electrical power control systems in remote or harsh locations.
 
Key Features of TLS Offshore Containers' 40ft MCC Shelter
  • Robust Construction: Built to DNV 2.7-1 / EN 12079 standards, these shelters can withstand harsh offshore and onshore conditions. They are made from high-grade steel with corrosion-resistant coatings, ensuring longevity and minimal maintenance.
  • Climate Control: Equipped with HVAC systems to maintain optimal operating temperatures for sensitive electrical equipment, even in extreme weather conditions.
  • Fire & Safety: Fitted with fire detection and suppression systems along with emergency lighting and exits to comply with safety regulations.
  • Customizable: Can be tailored to specific project requirements, including electrical layouts, cable entry points, ventilation systems, and access points.
  • Easy Transportation: Designed to be easily transported and deployed using standard lifting and handling equipment, making them suitable for remote locations.
 
Advantages of Using 40ft MCC Shelters
  1. Rapid Deployment: Pre-fabricated and ready to use, significantly reducing project lead times compared to traditional brick-and-mortar constructions.
  2. Cost-Effective: Offers a more cost-efficient solution compared to building permanent structures in remote locations.
  3. Mobility: Can be relocated as project needs change, providing flexibility and adaptability.
  4. Reduced Risk: Protects critical electrical equipment from environmental factors, theft, and vandalism, ensuring operational continuity.
 
Applications of 40ft MCC Shelters
  • Oil & Gas: Offshore platforms, drilling rigs, and onshore processing facilities
  • Mining: Remote mining sites and processing plants
  • Renewable Energy: Wind farms, solar power plants, and hydroelectric power stations
  • Construction: Large construction sites and infrastructure projects
  • Disaster Relief: Temporary power distribution in disaster-stricken areas
 
Conclusion
The 40ft MCC Shelter manufactured by TLS Offshore Containers is a versatile and reliable solution for housing critical electrical control systems in challenging environments. Its robust construction, climate control features, and safety systems make it an ideal choice for various industries.
