Full process control and traceability from steel coil to painted, tested unit. No sub-contracted quality gaps; one throat to choke on schedule.
02
Robotic & semi-automated welding
Repeatable structural quality engineered to EN 1090 / ISO 3834 — not job-shop hand welding. Weld quality is the single largest field-failure risk in containerised assets.
03
C5M marine-grade paint system
ISO 12944 C5 high-corrosivity coating, applied in a dedicated booth. Coastal and industrial BESS sites destroy under-specified coatings within 3–5 years.
04
European jigs & fixtures
Customisable pneumatic jigs for dimensional accuracy and interchangeability. Doors, glands and equipment fit first time on site; retrofit parts are interchangeable.
How we’re built to work
One envelope, three disciplines.
Every Powervault unit is an ISO container shell, a structural weldment and an electrical enclosure at the same time. Most suppliers are good at one of the three. We are set up for all three in the same building.
Container shell Corrosion-rated steel envelope, corrugated for structural stiffness and transport handling.
Structural weldment Robotic and semi-automated welding to a repeatable structural standard.
Electrical enclosure Switchgear, cable management and fit-out engineered to the governing electrical code.
Manufacturing
The plant — our strongest asset.
A dedicated facility running coil to finished product under one roof, with robotic welding, a C5M marine-grade paint booth and European-engineered jigs and finishes.
