/PRCWT/GHangzhou, October 09, 2023 - Recently, with its many years of industry experience and continuous innovation in the field of industrial automation control and digital production, Schneider Electric launched C-House prefabricated mobile control cabin to meet the different needs of industry customers in various scenarios for control-related equipment and buildings in the form of prefabrication or custom installation. Convenient and flexible transportation at the same time, can be installed at the construction site, to achieve fast delivery.
Today, large projects are becoming larger, require shorter delivery times, and require construction in more remote and isolated areas. Affected by many uncontrollable factors, such projects are more likely to face local risks such as lack of resources, increase of unplanned investment costs, exposure to construction safety hazards, and diffusion of surrounding environmental pollution.
Focusing on the increasing need for customers to complete more demanding construction operations in restricted environments, Schneider Electric C-House prefabricated mobile control cabin adopts outfitting design and high-strength, high-quality frame building structure, its interior covers electrical equipment and control system, HVAC system, fire protection system, lighting system and a series of customizable equipment. It is a highly integrated, engineered control system solution pre-installed in a customized, compact, transportable and secure housing, which can better ensure the quality and progress of enterprise engineering construction under the condition of limited space, time and human resources.
Prefabricated + mobile, enabling customers to create multi-dimensional value
Based on the actual needs of the enterprise, Schneider Electric can provide customized services covering the whole life cycle of the control cabin from design, manufacturing, testing, transportation to on-site installation, acceptance, etc. : First, in the own factory, complete the design and construction of the overall structure of the control cabin, the assembly of the internal equipment and external cable interface and factory acceptance test (FAT); And based on their exquisite design skills and experience, according to the need to control the cabin as a whole reasonable modular split, then long-distance transport by sea and land; Finally, the installation, pre-commissioning and site acceptance test (SAT) of the whole system are carried out on the construction site.
Relying on a reliable pre-installation and test system and excellent modular integration capabilities, Schneider Electric is able to complete the design, production, processing and assembly of the modules required for the control cabin in a short time, which can help customers greatly reduce the construction site workload, labor and logistics costs, reduce safety risks, improve operational efficiency, and ensure the schedule of construction. Enable enterprises to complete construction operations in a high-quality, efficient, safe and environmentally friendly manner under limited conditions, creating more new value:
• High quality and reliability: Based on high quality design testing, high quality installation and commissioning and high standard quality assurance system, Schneider Electric can strictly test the control cabin from the overall structure to the heating air and fire gas system in a controlled environment, reduce external interference, provide customers with high quality and reliable equipment and construction quality level, and ensure the delivery time;
Cost-efficient: Compared to traditional brick and concrete buildings, C-House prefabricated mobile control cabins can save customers 50% of design and project management costs, 10% of shell construction costs and 5% of transportation costs. The control cabin adopts a modular, standardized prefabricated design, which helps to reduce the design and manufacturing time by 50%, and the site construction and commissioning schedule by 50%.
• Safety guarantee: Thanks to prefabricated production and commissioning, the control cabin can be easily implemented in the construction site out of the box, effectively reducing the workload of the site, thereby reducing the safety risks of personnel and equipment caused by the cross-construction of the site, and protecting the orderly and stable construction of the project;
• Green and low carbon: C-House prefabricated mobile control houses help customers reduce environmental stress on construction sites by conducting the entire production, installation and commissioning process in the energy-saving, environmentally friendly and efficient Schneider Electric plant.
Over mountains and oceans, help customers deal with force majeure one by one
Take oil and gas (middle and upstream), new energy, mining, data center and other industries as examples. China's energy and land resources are mainly distributed in desert, high altitude and cold areas, lack of complete transportation, power grid and other infrastructure. Schneider Electric C-House prefabricated mobile control cabin can be flexibly transported and deployed according to the actual scene, saving the extra cost caused by civil construction and shortening the construction period, ensuring the safety of site construction, while helping to protect the local fragile ecological environment, ensuring the smooth, safe and smooth construction and delivery of the project.
In addition, with the development potential of offshore oil and gas extraction, wind power generation, photovoltaic and other industries, as well as the growing call for sustainable use and protection of water resources, the demand for the construction of lake seas and ship platforms will be further activated. Thanks to the modular manufacturing process, the C-House prefabricated mobile control hut supports water transportation, and can be quickly assembled on the lake sea and ship platforms for efficient construction. In order to improve the overall safety factor, the shell of the control hut uses special anti-corrosion materials and coatings to ensure that it passes strict environmental tests, and its internal equipment is specially reinforced to have excellent seismic performance and better cope with harsh climatic conditions and environments.
On the other hand, at present, the development momentum of China's EPC(engineering general contracting) offshore business is strong. In view of the objective factors such as mismatch of local supporting facilities overseas, language barriers, labor/legal constraints, as well as the high demand for on-site personnel safety in some special areas, Schneider Electric C-House prefabricated mobile control hut supports the pre-installation and pre-test of system equipment in a controlled environment. Not only does it not need to invest a lot of manpower on the construction site, but also can strictly implement the local industry standards, achieve cost control under limited conditions, and quickly land delivery.
Because of its advantages in engineering quality, cost control, construction safety and efficiency, prefabricated buildings are expected to become an important way of industrial engineering construction in the future. As a global expert in digital transformation in the field of energy management and automation, Schneider Electric will continue to explore the application value of more prefabricated products in industrial scenarios with efficient integration capabilities, reliable equipment and innovative technology, combined with its rich experience in domestic and overseas execution. Empower modern engineering construction with better, safer and more efficient digital solutions.
