What is the Purpose of an Electrical Control Room?

The main purpose of an electrical control room is to provide a centralized place where multiple tasks, information streams, or operations are observed. Depending on the application, they may contain computer systems, surveillance devices, measuring equipment, operating systems, and emergency response indicators.

Whether for monitoring, responding, controlling, collaborating, or communicating, these spaces have been shown to promote more efficient work and better decision-making. That’s why they’re perfect for many uses. 

There’s an ever-increasing number of applications to manage in a world where technological advancement moves at a breakneck pace. As a result, today’s power control rooms need to be versatile, customizable, and scalable for future trends. That’s where prefab electrical control rooms from CID Associates come into play. 

Benefits Of Prefabricated Control Rooms 

Prefabricated modular buildings are a great way to add a control room to your application without the cost or delays of traditional construction methods. They’re fabricated in sections following client requirements at an offsite facility, and the pre-built sections are moved to the desired location for assembly. 

There are many advantages to using industrial crane-liftable buildings for control room purposes. 

  • Reduces Noice
  • Protects Equipment
  • Cost-Effective
  • Flexible
  • On-Demand Floor Space Expansion Or Contraction
  • Environmentally Friendly
  • Consistent Quality
  • Minimal Site Disruption
  • Fast Construction Time
  • Improves Safety

Top Modular Electrical Control Room Manufacturer 

As a leading electrical power control room manufacturer, CID Associates specializes in manufacturing modular control rooms to meet client-specific needs. We develop the best pre-built modular structure for your process using a proven consultative approach that addresses performance, fitment, longevity, and safety.

All crane-liftable modular buildings are constructed from a durable welded skeleton of 1/4” tubular steel. This continuously welded outer steel plate skin creates impervious wall, roof, and floor sections. They can be manufactured up to 16 feet in width, incorporate windows or other features, and be painted with unique colors.

Safety, conformance to standards or specifications, and access to vital information are paramount for control rooms. What is needed changes by the industry, and CID Associates is happy to incorporate custom features into your control room design. Examples include: 

  • Electrical Control Systems
  • Pneumatic Control Systems
  • Monitoring Systems
  • Laboratories
  • Stairs
  • Catwalks
  • Handrails 
  • Clean Rooms
  • Panels
  • Landings
  • Consoles
  • Desks
  • Motor Control Centers

As a leading industrial control room manufacturer, quality is paramount. We work with knowledgeable engineers, architects, safety professionals, and independent third-party inspectors to confirm all industry, client, and construction code requirements are met. This includes the latest revisions of the Internal Building Code, International Mechanical Code, International Plumbing Code, International Energy Conservation Code, and National Electrical Code. 

Modular Control Rooms Design & Features 

Each building incorporates a heavy-duty, continuous welded steel skeleton of 1/4" tubular steel. The exterior steel plate skin is continuously welded to create weather-tight wall, roof, and floor sections. To the left and right of the main operator's viewing area are two airlocks. The airlocks play an intricate part in reducing sound and controlling dirt and dust contaminants that may cause problems with computer equipment. The link below also highlights how CID Associates, Inc. assisted our customer by pre-installing an Operators Control Console and Motor Control Center.
