RDI Enclosures & Systems designs custom PDC enclosures around the electrical equipment, operational requirements, environmental conditions, and site-specific needs of each project. As part of The RDI Group, which has applied advanced engineering, creative design, and industrial expertise to customer challenges for more than 100 years, RDI Enclosures brings extensive technical and manufacturing knowledge to complex enclosure projects.
RDI’s value extends beyond manufacturing the enclosure itself. Our engineering and technical teams work collaboratively with customers and project stakeholders throughout the process, providing the knowledge needed to address complex requirements and coordinate critical project details. This collaborative approach supports RDI’s goal of building lasting relationships with customers who need a dependable enclosure partner across multiple projects.
Every PDC enclosure is custom engineered by RDI based on your specific project requirements. We partner with our clients to produce highly complex power solutions based on their design inputs, such as electrical load requirements, equipment specifications, site constraints, and operational requirements.
RDI develops a relationship with our clients during the design, construction, and implementation phases of a project. We collaborate with your team of engineers and stakeholders to ensure your PDC enclosure exceeds your needs. We cover all layout considerations early on in the process, such as maintenance access, equipment spacing, and safety clearances. We address all environmental considerations of the site, such as temperature extremes, corrosion resistance, wind, and snow loads.
Our PDC enclosures are fully integrated systems that arrive onsite pretested and ready to be used.
We coordinate all switchgear, transformers, electrical wiring, and control systems into a unified system. Our in-house engineering and prefabricated approach reduces project delays compared with multi-vendor coordination as our design and engineering services team handles all requests immediately.
Prefabricated PDC enclosures deliver measurable advantages for our clients, such as faster project timelines, superior quality and consistency, reduced safety risks, and lower total project costs, over traditional on-site construction. These cost savings stem from using our in-house fabrication facility, which greatly reduces on-site skilled labor and eliminates rework and scrap.
Our facility offers superior quality and consistency in our end products from PDC enclosures to modular buildings, due to our controlled manufacturing environment. We are able to ensure full functionality of the PDC enclosure upon arrival as we test, verify, and troubleshoot any issues before delivery. Our pre-installation testing reduces commissioning time and startup risk. This lowers overall project risks, ensures predictable timelines, and improves safety.
PDC enclosures have become the standard solution across industries where reliable, centralized power distribution is non-negotiable. Each sector has unique demands, but they all benefit from the integration, reliability, and rapid deployment that RDI PDC enclosures provide. RDI has the capability and expertise to support the demands of electric utilities, oil and gas, data centers, industrial centers, and mining operations.
PDC enclosures are used to deploy flexible, reliable distribution infrastructure for substations and grid distribution systems quickly.
PDCs are used to provide service infrastructure that is reliable in remote field operations and processing facilities where safety and operational uptime is critical.
PDCs provide flexible, reliable, uninterrupted power distribution that can scale to the growing needs of data centers.
Manufacturing and processing operations use PDCs for complex facilities that need flexible, uninterrupted power delivery across large sites with varying loads.
PDCs provide essential power in rugged and remote mining environments requiring durable, long lasting power systems that can survive in demanding environments.
PDCs are used in renewable energy setups, such as solar and wind, to provide turnkey power equipment for conditioning, conversion, storage, and distribution of power.
PDCs are integrated platforms where components communicate, protect one another, and deliver coordinated system performance. PDC enclosures are fitted with switchgear, which manages electrical circuits; transformers that step voltage to appropriate levels for distribution; control panels that house circuit breakers and relays; and distribution systems that route power efficiently to connected loads.
PDCs can also include advanced features such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) for complex switching, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) for remote monitoring and control, and sensor monitoring to enable predictive maintenance. These advanced features help modern PDC enclosures to operate with minimal user intervention. RDI can design PDC enclosures with these features, plus ventilation and cooling systems, sound attenuation, environmental controls, and weather protection.
RDI provides a one-stop shop for all your PDC enclosure needs. We handle all aspects of PDC engineering, design, fabrication, testing, integration, and delivery. Our in-house manufacturing model offers our clients the highest quality control for consistent, uniform production of reliable PDC enclosures built to your specifications. All of our systems are tested before delivery, reducing commissioning issues and ensuring reliable startup. Our designs comply with MBMA, ASCE, and UL 508A standards, providing assurance of safety and quality.

A PDC enclosure provides a dedicated, protected environment for the electrical components responsible for controlling and routing power throughout a facility or site. These custom-engineered structures bring essential equipment together within an integrated system and can be designed around specific electrical, operational, environmental, and site requirements.
Prefabricated PDC enclosures provide greater control over how complex electrical systems are assembled and prepared for deployment. Building the enclosure in a controlled manufacturing environment supports consistent workmanship and allows potential integration issues to be addressed earlier in the project. For customers, this can lead to more predictable project schedules, fewer field modifications, improved jobsite safety, and a smoother transition from delivery through commissioning.
Yes. RDI can engineer each PDC enclosure around the technical and operational needs of the application. Customization may include enclosure dimensions, equipment configuration, structural requirements, ventilation and cooling, environmental protection, sound attenuation, cable routing, and other project-specific features. This flexibility allows the finished enclosure to support both current operating requirements and long-term maintenance needs.
PDC enclosures are well suited for operations that depend on complex electrical infrastructure or require power equipment to operate in challenging environments. They can support applications ranging from substations and processing facilities to large manufacturing sites, data centers, remote mining operations, and renewable energy installations. The design of each enclosure can be adapted to the operating conditions and technical requirements of the specific industry.
RDI takes a systems-engineering approach that considers how the enclosure, electrical equipment, structural components, and supporting systems work together as a complete solution. Its team maintains oversight throughout engineering, manufacturing, equipment integration, and testing, allowing potential issues to be identified before the enclosure reaches the field. RDI also works closely with customers and project stakeholders throughout the process, providing continuity from initial engineering through delivery and onsite support.
