Alternative Solutions AVL has to Offer

Beyond our core focuses, AVL’s enclosure expertise extends to a vast array of specialized applications. If it needs to be protected, optimized, and deployed in a purpose-built environment, we have the ingenuity and experience to enclose it effectively.

Turnkey solutions such as Prime and Standby Power systems equipped with:

  • Advanced ventilation

  • Noise attenuation

  • Emissions compliance features

AVL’s Electrical Houses (E-Houses) are prefabricated, factory-tested solutions for housing medium and low-voltage electrical equipment.

Ideal for industrial, mining, and utility applications.

  • Power distribution

  • Control

  • Automation systems

Not ready to own a prime generator? Maybe want to test one out for your business?

AVL has rental unit packages that are available for temporary backup generation purposes. These units come in mobile/stationary versions, and range in power generation from 500kW to 2MW! No matter how much power that your business requires, AVL has you covered!

AVL’s rentals have the following:

  • Mobile: AVL has some rental packages that are mobile/towing capable with trailer hitches, so that your power can follow you wherever you go.

  • Built in SCR: While stationary units require outside mounted SCR’s, rental units have enough area to fit the generator, and SCR within the enclosure.

  • Compact Footprint: Typically, Rental packages have a smaller volume than a full-time stationary prime generator. If space is a problem for now, maybe rental packages are for you!

  • Vertical Fuel Tanks: Instead of a sub-base fuel tank as many full-time units have, rental units make it easy to fuel up with their vertically mounted side fuel tank.
Turnkey Systems

Tailored to specific requirements with seamless transition of power for your enclosure. Onsite testing to allow for peace of mind for backup power generation to be as easy as possible

FAQs

What can AVL build?2025-07-09T11:55:26-04:00

AVL is a leading manufacturer specializing in the design and fabrication of genset enclosures for hyperscale data centers, with deep expertise in high-demand industries such as Oil & Gas, Arctic environments, and custom solutions for E-Houses and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).

Backed by a large in-house engineering team and nearly 500,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing space, AVL has the capability to design and build virtually anything, from complex industrial enclosures to fully integrated power systems, while consistently meeting the highest standards of quality, durability, and performance.

What gensets does AVL work with?2025-07-09T10:25:32-04:00

AVL works with a wide range of genset manufacturers and models to meet diverse project needs. Our enclosures are compatible with most major brands, including Caterpillar, Cummins, MTU, Kohler, Generac, and more. We design custom enclosures for gensets ranging from 250 kW up to 4 MW, covering backup power, prime power, and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems. This ensures optimal protection and performance tailored to your specific genset size and configuration.

How long does it typically take to design and deliver a custom enclosure?2025-07-09T11:51:06-04:00

For backup power systems, design typically take 4 to 6 weeks. More complex solutions like Combined Heat and Power (CHP) may require 2 to 3 months, depending on size and complexity. Production currently averages about one enclosure per month per production slot, with our facility having 50 slots monthly. These are large, 50-foot enclosures built for hyperscale data centers and other demanding applications. Throughout the process, our engineering and production teams collaborate closely with you to ensure your enclosure is delivered on time and meets your exact specifications.

Are AVL enclosures easy to transport and install at different sites?2025-07-09T11:52:04-04:00

AVL enclosures are engineered for fast, straightforward installation using standard lifting and rigging equipment. Removable bolt-on components and strategically placed lifting lugs help reduce shipping dimensions and make on-site handling more efficient. Once delivered, AVL’s experienced Service team is available to provide on-site supervision, full site and installation, along with full support during and after the warranty period.

Can AVL enclosures be modified after installation if requirements change?2025-07-09T10:30:21-04:00

Yes! While it’s always best to design and plan for future changes upfront, AVL enclosures are built with solid aluminum walls and roofs and a strong structural frame that supports modifications after installation. Whether you need to adjust ventilation, add access points, or integrate new equipment, our experienced service team—supported by in-house engineering—is fully equipped to perform these changes on-site with minimal disruption, keeping your system flexible and future-ready.
