FlexE / 01

Bespoke Electrical Buildings

Formerly QSK E-House / Modular E-House

Purpose-built

Bespoke Electrical Buildings for:

MV / HV switchgear
Power and distribution transformers
Control, protection and SCADA systems
Auxiliary and LV distribution equipment
Complex multi-equipment layouts

DeliversA fully engineered building shaped around the equipment package.

FlexEhouse is a bespoke, factory-built electrical building. Every unit is engineered around its equipment package — switchgear, transformers, control systems — so the building protects the assets without dictating layout. Delivered complete to site, ready for connection.

FlexEhouse in the field

FlexeHouse acoustic enclosure with integrated ventilation cowls — factory build.

FlexeHouse on site — louvred ventilation and access doors deployed in desert conditions.

FlexeHouse craned into position — engineered for single-lift installation.

Cutaway view — MV switchgear, dry-type transformers, LV panel and forced ventilation integrated in a single walk-in enclosure.

Standard features — rain protection, fire detection, lighting, forced ventilation, moisture control, raised micro-ceramic floor and pre-drilled switchgear fixings.

Forced ventilation and monitoring instrumentation — interior climate kept within switchgear operating limits.

Modular assembly line — FlexeHouse skids built, equipped and tested in the factory before shipment.

FlexeHouse assembly stages — from base platform and framework to fully enclosed walk-in switchgear housing.

FlexeHouse raised micro-ceramic floor — serviceable panels on a galvanised steel support frame for cable access and climate control.

FlexeHouse on site — covered walkway with integrated cable tray supports, access doors and ventilation louvres beneath the canopy.

FlexeHouse airflow scheme — forced ventilation drawn across MV switchgear, transformer and LV panel to keep interior climate within equipment limits.

FlexeHouse skid layout — MV switchgear, dry-type transformer and LV/control panel pre-assembled on a structural steel base for single-lift install.
