Modular Electrical Buildings (E-Houses)
Engineered Buildings for Power Distribution, Automation and Process Control
Modern industrial projects require far more than electrical equipment alone. They require engineered buildings that protect critical power distribution and control systems while simplifying transportation, installation and commissioning.
Simmonds Equipment designs and supplies modular electrical buildings supporting power generation, electrical distribution, industrial automation and process control across the oil & gas, mining, renewable energy, utilities, marine and industrial sectors.
From offshore E-Houses and switchgear buildings to utility substations and process control facilities, every solution is engineered around customer-selected electrical equipment, providing safe, transportable infrastructure that reduces site construction, improves quality control and accelerates project delivery.
Whether supplied as a certified structural building, mechanically completed, fully integrated or delivered as a turnkey facility, every project is developed around the execution strategy that best meets the customer’s technical, commercial and operational requirements.
Select the electrical building solution below to explore our range.
Flexible Project Delivery
Every electrical project is different, and the most effective execution strategy depends upon the equipment being installed, project location, schedule and customer requirements.
Rather than forcing every project through a single manufacturing model, Simmonds Equipment develops the most efficient delivery strategy using trusted manufacturing, engineering and specialist integration partners worldwide.
This flexible approach allows customers to participate in equipment integration, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and commissioning at the stage that best suits their project and preferred supply chain.
Delivery Options
Structural Building Supply
Certified transportable buildings supplied complete with structural steelwork, insulation, doors, windows and external finishes, ready for customer equipment installation.
Mechanical Services Integration
Buildings supplied complete with HVAC systems, cable trays, lighting, small power distribution, fire protection systems and internal fit-out, ready for electrical equipment installation.
Customer Equipment Integration
Customer-supplied or free-issue electrical equipment installed, interconnected, tested and commissioned by specialist integration partners, allowing customer participation throughout Factory Acceptance Testing.
Complete Turnkey Solution
Fully engineered, integrated, factory tested and commissioned modular electrical buildings delivered ready for installation and final connection on site.
Where appropriate, equipment integration and commissioning can also be undertaken at specialist partner facilities close to the final project destination, enabling local contractors and customer representatives to participate in FAT and project completion.
Engineered for Reliable Electrical Infrastructure
Successful electrical projects depend upon far more than housing switchgear.
Critical electrical equipment must be protected from harsh environments while allowing safe operation, efficient maintenance and future expansion throughout the operational life of the facility.
Rather than supplying modular buildings alone, Simmonds Equipment develops complete electrical building solutions that consider transportation, lifting, equipment integration, installation, commissioning and long-term operational performance from the outset of every project.

WHY Simmonds Equipment?
Delivering successful modular electrical buildings requires more than fabricating a steel enclosure.
It demands an understanding of how critical electrical equipment is transported, integrated, commissioned and operated throughout its lifecycle, together with the engineering expertise needed to balance structural integrity, environmental protection and maintainability.
Working with trusted manufacturing, engineering and specialist integration partners worldwide, Simmonds Equipment delivers modular electrical buildings that reduce construction schedules, simplify equipment integration and accelerate project delivery without compromising quality or safety.
