Prefabricated Pump House Enclosures for Industrial Applications

Prefabricated pump houses are factory-built enclosures designed to house pumps, motors, piping systems, and electrical equipment. Pump houses are manufactured in a controlled facility before delivery, allowing systems and equipment to be installed prior to installation in the field. Prefabricated pump houses work by providing a ready-to-use, enclosed environment. The house can be connected directly to water sources, gas supply, electrical sources, and more, through wall penetrations, to control flow and boost pressure all from one convenient building.

Pump house enclosures protect pumping equipment from weather exposure, temperature fluctuations, debris, and environmental conditions. A prefab pump house can have a structural steel base, with or without equipment install before arriving on the jobsite, or they can have no base and be anchored to concrete pads and installed around existing pump skids or mechanical equipment. Prefabricated pump houses are designed to meet state and national building codes.

RDI Enclosures & Systems is your pump house partner. Our prefabricated pump houses offer a great solution for pump building developments. These buildings are capable of installation around preexisting equipment at the job site and can be anchored to concrete or designed to fit your pump skid.

Benefits of Prefabricated Pump House Enclosures

Prefabricated pump house enclosures offer significant advantages over traditional construction, such as faster installation times and enhanced protection against harsh weather and vandalism. These structures are built off-site in an indoor manufacturing facility in a controlled environment, ensuring high quality control. They are customized for specific site needs, providing a secure, durable, and low-maintenance solution that reduces construction timelines.

Key Advantages of Prefab Pump Houses

  • Protection: Pump houses protect valuable equipment from heat, rain, snow, ice, wind, and corrosion. They also prevent unauthorized access and vandalism.
  • Faster installation timelines: Prefabricated pump houses are fully installed, integrated, tested, and ready to operate upon delivery. This reduces onsite construction and helps speed project timelines.
  • Reduced on-site labor: Prefab pump houses are built offsite, so they reduce the need for more costly onsite skilled labor.
  • Improved quality control: RDI’s prefab pump houses are built in-house at our Illinois factory.
    This allows us to implement exceptional quality control processes from engineering and design to fabrication, installation, and testing.
  • Overall cost savings: Having a prefabricated pump house built offsite reduces overall project costs by saving time, labor, and materials waste.
  • Reduced project risk: RDI’s prefabricated pump houses are a pre-tested, working solution that is more efficient and reliable than onsite construction. This helps minimize project risk.

Custom Pump House Design and Engineering

Pump houses are custom engineered and designed based on the size and environmental requirements. They can be tailor-made to accommodate different pump sizes and layouts with equipment access and even maintenance space. RDI’s design and engineering services will work with your project stakeholders to meet ventilation and HVAC requirements, electrical infrastructure needs, and structural requirements. Our in-house design, engineering, fabrication, and project management capabilities mean we can design, build, and deliver any type of prefabricated building you need.

Common Applications for Pump House Buildings

Pump house enclosures are used to protect pumping equipment and provide water across a variety of industrial applications. They are commonly used in treatment plants, industrial facilities, and infrastructure projects. These buildings help prevent weather damage, reduce noise, and limit corrosion to valuable equipment. Pump houses also provide necessary water service to urban, rural, and remote areas.

Industries Using Prefab Pump Houses
  • Prefabricated fire pump houses: These structures protect essential fire suppression equipment, such as water tanks, pumps, controllers, and piping, used to maintain high-pressure water flow to sprinkler systems and fire hoses during a fire emergency.
  • Municipal water systems: Prefabricated pump houses are used as pumping stations for water supply, sewage removal, and floodwater management and to provide water utilities in urban and rural areas.
  • Wastewater treatment: Pump houses are used in wastewater treatment plants, sewage lift stations, effluent reuse stations, and potable water booster systems.
  • Electrical utilities: Pump buildings are used to house water pumps, standby generators, motor control centers, and supervisory control and data acquisition systems for electric utilities.
  • Groundwater remediation: Pump houses are used to extract contaminated water from aquifers, purify it above ground, and often reinject the clean water or discharge it safely.
  • Industrial facilities: Pump houses are used to process water, manage chemicals, and treat wastewater from industrial uses.
  • Oil and gas, mining: Prefabricated pump houses are used in oil and gas and mining applications to provide water service in remote areas for operations, while providing a shelter from the weather. Applications can include vacuum or compressors for oil sands processing, carbon capture, and more.

Optional Features for Prefabricated Pump Houses

Pump house buildings can include fully integrated mechanical and electrical systems. Many prefab pump houses include optional features that allow these structures to function as complete, self-contained operational facilities. Such facilities can serve critical and essential infrastructure needs.

 

Optional Features in Pump Houses

Pump house buildings are also designed for operational safety by ensuring structural integrity, environmental protection, and strict adherence to safety codes. Key safety features include fire-rated construction, proper ventilation for heat and fumes, thermal insulation to prevent freezing, adequate maintenance clearances, and secure, direct access.
