In industrial and offshore environments, the stable operation of motor control equipment is essential. TLS MCC shelters are engineered to provide a safe and reliable space for customer-installed electrical systems, featuring modular design, robust structure, and positive pressure protection.

Modular Design for Flexible Configurations
Built with a modular enclosure structure, the TLS MCC shelter can be easily configured, expanded, or combined according to site requirements. Whether in an onshore plant, wind farm, or offshore platform, the enclosure offers flexible layouts to accommodate Motor Control Centers (MCCs), switchgear, and VFD/VSD panels.
Multiple standard sizes (16ft, 20ft, 40ft) are available, and customized dimensions can be provided for special project needs.

Positive Pressure System for Equipment Protection
The MCC shelter uses a pressurized ventilation design that keeps internal air pressure slightly higher than the external environment. This prevents dust, moisture, and corrosive air from entering the enclosure, ensuring a clean and stable environment for sensitive electrical components. The result is longer equipment lifespan and reduced maintenance.

Built Tough for Harsh Environments
Constructed from high-strength, corrosion-resistant steel, TLS MCC shelters are designed to operate in extreme temperatures, salt-laden air, and harsh climates. The structure complies with IEC 60079-13, DNV 2.7-1, and EN 12079 standards, allowing deployment in ZONE 1, ZONE 2, or safe areas.

Each enclosure is equipped with basic electrical wiring, lighting, sockets, and emergency escape features, ensuring both safety and practicality.

Easy Transport and Rapid Deployment
TLS MCC shelters are ISO-compliant with corner castings and lifting points for land and sea transport. Installation on site is straightforward — the plug-and-play design and detailed installation guide help reduce commissioning time and increase project efficiency.

Wide Applications and Adaptability
Designed to house low and medium voltage switchgear, control panels, PLC systems, and auxiliary devices, TLS MCC shelters are ideal for renewable energy, petrochemical, mining, and offshore industries.

Their modular and customizable nature allows flexible expansion or layout adjustment as project needs evolve.

Conclusion
By combining modular construction, positive pressure protection, and durable design, the TLS MCC shelter provides a secure and adaptable space for electrical control systems.
Whether for onshore facilities or offshore operations, it is the ideal solution for safeguarding critical equipment and ensuring continuous performance.

In industrial projects, the Motor Control Center (MCC) often acts as the “brain” of the electrical and automation system. The stable operation of MCC panels, PLCs, VFDs, and other control equipment depends on more than just smart wiring—it starts with a safe, reliable, and robust physical infrastructure.

At TLS, we specialize in delivering high-quality containerized MCC shelters designed for prefabrication, rapid deployment, and durability in extreme environments. These are not just boxes—they are purpose-built control cabins engineered for real-world industrial demands.

Built to Withstand, Designed to Perform

Our MCC container shelters are constructed using weather-resistant steel and industrial-grade anti-corrosion coating systems. TLS combines standardized design with on-site adaptability to meet the unique needs of each project:
  • Structural strength supports centralized installation of heavy electrical equipment, with certified lifting points and stackable frames
  • Optional C4/C5 anti-corrosion coating for challenging environments such as coastal areas, deserts, and chemical zones
  • Customizable floors with load-bearing reinforcements, anti-slip surfaces, and anti-static treatments
  • Fully integrated external interfaces, lifting lugs, and pre-cut cable entry/exit ports for ease of deployment

Climate Control and Ventilation: Protecting What Matters

High-density electrical equipment requires precise thermal management to ensure long-term stability. TLS addresses this at the enclosure level:
  • Ventilation layout and air duct design tailored to power load and heat dissipation needs
  • Ready-to-integrate support for industrial air conditioners or heat exchangers, with pre-installed cutouts and mounting brackets
  • Optional accessories such as louver vents, dust filters, and rain hoods for enhanced operational reliability
  • Excellent air-tightness to support positive pressure ventilation and explosion-proof upgrades when needed

More Than a Box: Designed for Electrical System Integration

TLS MCC containers are not empty shells—they are engineered integration platforms built around electrical usage scenarios:
  • Reinforced wall panels and optimized cutout positions for efficient cabinet installation
  • Flexible prefabrication of flooring, cable trays, and cable routing pathways
  • Fireproofing, explosion protection, and IP ratings tailored to specific project requirements
  • Compatibility with Zone 1 / Zone 2 hazardous area classification, including structural interface adjustments and safety enhancements

Fast Deployment, Smarter Than Civil Works

Compared to traditional cast-in-place or welded steel buildings, TLS MCC containers offer inherent delivery and schedule advantages:
  • Factory-prefabricated under controlled quality standards, reducing on-site installation time
  • Fully enclosed for transport, with no on-site welding required
  • Suitable for permanent installations, as well as temporary rental or mobile applications
  • Seamlessly integrates with the customer’s electrical systems for turnkey delivery

Conclusion: The Shelter Is the First Line of Defense

A high-standard MCC shelter isn’t just steel and bolts—it’s the first safety layer of your entire electrical infrastructure. With TLS, you get more than a structure; you gain a professionally engineered, ready-to-deploy foundation for modern industrial control systems.

​In demanding industrial and offshore environments, safeguarding critical electrical equipment is paramount. TLS Offshore Containers provides robust MCC (Motor Control Centre) pressurized cabin solutions, purpose-built to ensure the safety and longevity of your vital electrical infrastructure.

What is a TLS MCC Pressurized Cabin?
A TLS MCC pressurized cabin is a specialized, containerized module designed to house and protect essential electrical components such as Motor Control Centers (MCC), switchgear, Motor Circuit Protection (MCP), Variable Frequency Drives (VFD), and Variable Speed Drives (VSD). These cabins are engineered to shield non-explosion-proof equipment from the damaging effects of harsh climates and potentially hazardous gas atmospheres. The solution encloses the equipment within a weather-resistant container, complete with an entrance door for safe walk-in operation.
