sonic enclosures

For over 40 years, Sonic Enclosures has built a reputation for integrity, uncompromising quality and engineering excellence in the design and manufacturing of modular enclosure solutions and metal structures worldwide. Sonic Enclosures’ products are suitable for a wide range of sectors, including the mining, oil and gas marine, offshore and forestry industries.

Applications include electrical houses, mobile and stationary equipment enclosures, A-60 offshore enclosures and operator cabs, all suitable for any environment.

Electrical houses designed for mine sites

The company’s key service is designing and building electrical houses, or E-Houses, for the mining industry.

Sonic Enclosures is a leader in the mining industry through the design and manufacture of electrical houses, boiler plants and reverse osmosis equipment enclosures.
Custom enclosures such as E-Houses are built to withstand the stresses of the mining industry, including extreme temperatures, shock, dust, vibration and moisture.

Sonic creates unmatched portable industrial metal buildings, E-Houses, capable of carrying an operation's critical packaged equipment inside.
E-House enclosures can be built and divided into as many sections as required to ship by truck or barge.
The electrical houses are fabricated from a formed metal panel exterior and sheet metal liner with insulation, then mounted on a structural steel base to make them transportable.
Sonic custom designs generation sets to help supply power for light and heat, or to drive various types of equipment and back-up systems.
Sonic has designed and manufactured E-Houses to individual project specifications, including at Red Chris Mines.
Enclosures can be designed to house mechanical equipment, including boilers, gas turbines, diesel gen-sets and ROV launch and recovery controls.
ROV control rooms are converted ISO freight containers or heavy-duty models that are typically used as clean rooms, cold labs, chemical and hazardous material storage.

E-Houses provide operations with an industrial metal building to hold and protect critical equipment. Each E-House is constructed according to the needs of the customer’s operation and the specific application it is designed for; the electrical equipment can be included, or ready-supplied equipment can be installed.

Sonic Enclosures’ E-Houses are produced and insulated by a sheet metal liner around a formed metal-panel exterior; they can also be mounted on a structural steel base to make the unit portable. Once built, the enclosures can be divided into as many sections as necessary to ship them by truck or barge.

All electrical houses comply with regional building and electrical codes. Sonic Enclosures has delivered products to several of North and South America’s leading copper, gold and silver producing mines over the past 20 years.

Safe enclosures for mechanical equipment

Mechanical houses are enclosures specifically for mechanical equipment, which may include boilers, gas turbines, diesel generator sets and ROV launch and recovery controls.

Sonic Enclosures has a strong in-house base of registered mechanical and electrical engineers with extensive knowledge and many years of experience in North and South America. This, coupled with the company’s modern facility, enables it to design, manufacture and assemble enclosures for a diverse range of industries and needs.

Heavy-duty DNV enclosures

Sonic Enclosures offers marine structures that are capable of operating in adverse conditions.

The converted ISO freight containers or heavy-duty models are manufactured by Sonic, depending on the needs of the application, as well as the industry standards and regulations. Heavy-duty units are governed by DNV, ABC and USCG. Sonic’s DNV enclosure range includes:

  • Berthing quarters
  • ROV control rooms
  • Workshops
  • Chemical storage
  • Marine biology labs
  • Clean room labs
  • Isotope research labs
  • Critical temperature labs
  • Antarctic expedition labs

Generator enclosures for power supply

Sonic Enclosures custom designs generation sets to support the power supply for light and heat, or to drive equipment and back-up systems.

The generator enclosures include supply and discharge air silencers as well as fuel tanks, controls and engine exhaust systems. They are sound attenuated to reduce excessive noise levels and robust enough to withstand harsh environments.
