Modular Control Rooms, Switchrooms & Energy-Site Buildings
Battery storage, solar and wind sites need more than the equipment containers. They need somewhere to house monitoring and control, somewhere for engineers to work, and welfare that survives a remote compound in winter. Our modules cover the building side of that requirement, with the electrical specification agreed project by project.

Hire Control Rooms & Switchrooms in the UK
Need control rooms & switchrooms for a fixed period? Hire it instead of buying. Adacon manufactures the building to your layout and hands it over on hire terms, then collects it when you no longer need it — with the same quality, fit-out and design freedom as a purchase.
Hire terms are flexible — tell us how long you need the unit and we will confirm the rate for that period.

Robust, serviceable buildings for energy compounds
These buildings sit in exposed compounds and are visited rather than occupied. We build for durability and access first: robust cladding, controlled openings, ventilation where equipment generates heat, and cable entry positions agreed with your electrical engineer.
- Control and monitoring rooms with dedicated power and data
- Cable entry, containment and equipment positions set with your engineers
- Ventilation, heating and cooling provision to the specified duty
- Security room, CCTV position and controlled access doors
- Site office and meeting space for operations and maintenance visits
- Welfare: kitchen point, WC and washroom in the same run
- Robust external cladding and lockable openings for remote compounds
Example configurations
Buildings combine P300, P400, P500, P600 and P700 units, with bespoke options. A separate P600 provides approximately 11.4 m² usable internally. Example areas use a conservative per-module allowance before partitions; open joins can provide more space. Units can be combined or stacked over two storeys.
Single monitoring, security or equipment room.
Control room plus office or welfare in one building.
Combined control, office, WC and washroom building for a permanent site.

- Configuration
- Mix P300, P400, P500, P600 and P700 units to create tailored footprints and shapes
- Bespoke
- Bespoke sizes considered to suit your brief — contact us
- Joined internal space
- Open joins remove the adjoining shell walls and can increase usable space. Final clear area depends on layout and partitions.
- Unit height
- 2.40m external / 2.16m internal
- Storeys
- Up to two storeys, subject to final project design
- Delivery
- UK mainland and Northern Ireland — transport quoted separately
Adacon modular buildings use P300, P400, P500, P600 and P700 units with external lengths of 2.9m, 3.9m, 4.9m, 5.9m and 6.9m, a common 2.2m width and 2.40m external / 2.16m internal height. The sizes can be combined to create more tailored floor areas and building shapes, joined side by side or stacked to two storeys subject to the final project design.
What's available for a control rooms & switchroom
High-voltage switchrooms and switchgear enclosures carry specialist requirements — fire rating, HVAC duty, SCADA, UPS, earthing and electrical design. We do not offer a standard unit as an HV switchroom; the specification is engineered and confirmed project by project with your electrical designer.

Built from five unit sizes, or bespoke
Every Adacon building is made from these units, or built to a bespoke size. Units can be combined — joined end to end, side by side, or stacked to two storeys — to create larger buildings.
