Specifications
A sample of how we specify an enclosure, taken from a live, engineered project.
Every project is engineered to its own site loads and use. We finalize each unit against the project's stamped plans.
Baseline Specification
Heavy-duty materials are part of our standard specification. Final specifications are confirmed in writing with your quote.
01
Welded structural steel that carries equipment loads and anchors to the foundation.
02
A corrosion-resistant aluminum envelope over the steel frame.
03
Connections specified to the same standard as the frame.
04
Commercial steel doors set in structural steel openings.
05
Wall-mount Bard cooling with electric heat, sized for equipment rooms.
Sample Design Criteria
Two custom enclosures, 33 ft and 18 ft, housing electrical equipment for a flood-mitigation pumping station in the Northeast, designed as essential public infrastructure.

Documentation
Infrastructure and government buyers answer to an engineer of record. We work from their stamped plans and deliver the documentation they need.
01
Every unit is finalized against the project's stamped engineering plans, covering frame, envelope, connections, and anchorage.
02
Elevations, sections, framing and panel details, and door schedules prepared for submittal review.
03
A quality record for each unit, a 5-year structural warranty, and a 1-year parts warranty held by NAM.
Specifications shown are a sample of our baseline and the design criteria of one project. Materials, loads, and code criteria are set for each project by its engineering, and equivalent or approved substitutes are available per project specification. Manufacturer names identify products only and do not imply endorsement.
