Monitoring and controlling large-scale industrial facilities often takes place within some form of control room. These control rooms can be integrated within the main structure of the facility or exist as standalone units dedicated solely to this purpose. In energy production facilities, for instance, the control room often takes the form of a standalone unit situated near a gas turbine. Within the control room, power distribution is coordinated, turbine operations are regulated, and meticulous monitoring occurs.
Standalone control rooms are useful in various types of facilities, with common applications including the oil and gas industry and power generation.
Elektromontage has the capability to help customers deliver essentially turnkey control room solutions. In collaboration with its partners, Elektromontage can offer customized solutions that encompass design, construction, and control room specifications. Solutions can range from structures approximately 10 meters long supported by metal column frames to versions reaching up to 18 meters for installation on concrete foundations. Roof pitch, wall design, ventilation, and flooring materials—everything can be customized to meet the customer’s specifications.
Elektromontage We not only install but also integrate the components provided by the customer—such as Control Panels and security solutions—with the components that Elektromontage contributes to the project, including MCCs, battery systems, and Control Cabinet. Installation, testing, and verification are carried out at Elektromontage’s facilities in close collaboration with the end customer.
With over a decade of experience delivering various types of control rooms across different continents, our customers at Elektromontage find an experienced and reliable partner that prioritizes quality and customer satisfaction above all else.
A standalone control room goes by various names and is subject to varying requirements. Some customers refer to it as a “Local Equipment Room” (LER), while others prefer the term “Power Control Module” (PCM), despite the same basic function. Essentially, the control room is a separate building that integrates all processes critical to plant operations. Here, Motor Control Centers (MCCs) facilitate power distribution to the facility’s motors and loads.
Control Panels and Control Cabinet contribute to process control, while battery systems and auxiliary power support emergency and safety systems. The specifics depend on the particular process and facility in question. Different facilities may require different functions, but ultimately, the requirements for control rooms converge in their commitment to creating a safe, comfortable, and reliable work environment for operators. This applies regardless of whether the facility is exposed to extreme climates, located in an earthquake-prone area, or faces the risk of gas-related explosions.
Here you'll find answers to frequently asked questions about control rooms, their function, and their importance in technical facilities.
The control room is the heart of every facility, where operators monitor and control complex processes and systems to ensure optimal operation. It is in this room that critical decisions are made, which directly impact the facility’s efficiency, safety, and financial performance. A well-planned, ergonomic environment in the control room enables operators to work under optimal conditions, which enhances their ability to quickly and effectively handle any situations that arise. At Elektromontage , we understand the importance of a well-designed control room infrastructure. We therefore work closely with our customers to tailor solutions that not only meet technical requirements but also support operators’ needs and help foster a productive work environment.
Yes. The control room’s design and technical specifications are tailored to the facility’s conditions and the customer’s requirements. This may include, for example, size, ventilation, walls, floors, and the technical equipment to be integrated.
Yes. Together with our partners, we can offer a comprehensive solution that includes design, construction, installation, integration, testing, and verification.
The control room may, for example, contain an MCC ( Control Panels), a Control Cabinet, a battery system, auxiliary power, and safety systems. The solution is tailored to the specific process and the facility’s needs.
