There was a time when prototypes for bespoke industrial enclosures were expensive and took weeks to produce. Thanks to advances in 3D printing, today’s prototypes are not only faster and less expensive to develop, but the increased possibility of making design tweaks creates a better final product.

As e-mobility demand increases year on year, a corresponding requirement is placed on supporting infrastructure – primarily, the charging point.

Industrial enclosures need to be rugged, but they also have to be flexible enough to create the right design for the application’s requirements. With a wide range of options available for the GEOS industrial enclosure range, Spelsberg’s new configurator now makes specification and selection a faster, easier task.

Spelsberg has added to its compact range of junction boxes for indoor use. Aimed at electrical contractors and designed for quick installation, the Red Range now includes new variants of the easy-to-access IP20 Q enclosure, as well as smaller sizes in the IP55 2K enclosure.

The installation of precast concrete construction projects has been made faster and simpler, thanks to an increased use of a range of electrical connection enclosures.

Over a kilometre under the North Sea – eight miles from dry land – sits a Spelsberg GRP enclosure. Installed at the face of the UK's deepest mine as part of an Air Spectrum dust suppression system, this an environment so alien that NASA rovers, dark matter experiments and underground labs all call this place home. This is Boulby Mine, the frontline of Cleveland Potash Limited's polyhalite mining operations.

The choice of enclosure should never be an afterthought, left to the end of the project or under-budgeted, especially in outdoor installations. Here Chris Lloyd, Managing Director of Spelsberg UK, explains why a suitable enclosure is important and outlines a strategic approach to enclosure selection.

It would be no exaggeration to call the Gotthard Railway Tunnel an engineering marvel. Stretching 35 miles in length, at up to 2,450m deep through the Swiss Alps, it’s both the longest and deepest tunnel in the world.
