Custom electrical enclosures for data center infrastructure
Barnes fabricated a repeat run of 18 large custom electrical enclosures for a Central Washington data-center project.
The requirement
Large units. Repeat features. One clear fabrication scope.
A regional electrical contractor needed a repeat run of large, project-specific steel enclosures with the required openings, interior mounting provisions, hardware, and finish coordinated across every unit.
- Customer
- A regional electrical contractor
- Project context
- A large Central Washington data-center installation
- Barnes work
- Custom fabrication, welding, repeat production, and assembly
- Coordination
- Powder coat, handling, delivery, and contractor handoffs
01 · Fabrication
Start with the enclosure body.
The photographs show the steel bodies moving from fit-up into welding at full shop scale. They document Barnes' fabrication scope without assigning engineering or field-installation responsibility.
02 · Assembly
The details had to arrive with every unit.
The approved build included two doors, EMKA hardware, bus-bar ports, interior Unistrut, and door-sensor mounting provisions. Barnes carried those required features through the repeat run and coordinated the ANSI 61 gray powder-coated finish.
- Two doors per enclosure
- EMKA hardware
- Bus-bar ports
- Interior Unistrut
- Door-sensor mounting provisions
- ANSI 61 gray powder coating
03 · Repeat production
Eighteen units, not a one-off prototype.
The project moved beyond a single enclosure into a repeat run of 18. That changed the work from an isolated fabrication into a coordinated production sequence spanning fabrication, welding, assembly, finishing, handling, and delivery.
04 · Finished work
From Barnes' floor to the project environment.
The finished units were powder coated ANSI 61 gray and prepared for delivery. The final photographs show the enclosure and the larger project context without identifying the contractor or end user.
Result
The enclosure package moved through a complete shop sequence.
Eighteen finished enclosures moved through repeat production and delivery for installation within a large Central Washington data-center project.
Barnes fabricated the approved enclosure scope for a regional electrical contractor. The customer and end user remain confidential, and Barnes is not presented as the electrical engineer, data-center operator, or installer.
