2.9 SIEHOUSE

2.9.3 It is All about the Best Design

The SIEHOUSE design starts with structural analyses and calculations. The most widely used designs use self-framing, interlocking wall and roof panels that are installed on a structural steel base. Every variable is taken into account from the raw materials used to the weight of the installed equipment and all the way to the project requirements. The structural design, calculations and 3D-simulations are performed on the basis of this data (g. 2.9-7, g. 2.9-8). Equipment from a single solution provider SIEHOUSE can be tted with a wide range of equipment that ensures a high degree of functionality and reliability. This system is a completely integrated one-stop solution from one supplier with design and engineering responsibility. The equipment that is installed in an SIEHOUSE includes low and medium-voltage switchgear (GIS and AIS) up to 52 kV that meets the relevant ANSI, GOST, and IEC standards, low-voltage and medium-voltage motor control centers (MCC), variable frequency drives (VFD), oil and dry type transformers, control and protection panel boards, PLC I/Os, relay panels, instrumentation, analyzers, bus ducts, pressure relief, arc suppression ducts, batteries, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), and power compensation devices (g. 2.9-9). Equipment options for customized solutions There is a wide range of auxiliary equipment that can be selected according to the local, individual and HSE requirements, standards and regulations. It includes lighting and earthing systems, sockets, distribution boards, cable trays, electrical metallic tubing, and plug accessories. Specially tted E-houses that ensure safe operation are available for hazardous areas, re and smoke detection, re ghting systems, emergency exits, and access control. A heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system can be installed on the roof of any E-house.
