When industrial, power, or oil and gas projects need shelter, our temporary buildings offer an innovative solution. They are flexible and can be used for equipment or work areas. At Kelly Klosure, we create modular and movable systems. These systems offer protection and security. They also provide the flexibility needed to keep projects on track. 

This helps ensure that essential assets remain safe. Our panelized structures install quickly and adapt to changing site conditions while withstanding harsh environments. This is typical in industrial and energy applications. You can stay productive without waiting for traditional construction to complete.

Advantages of Modular Construction for Industrial & Energy Projects

Industrial plants, power stations, and oil and gas sites often operate under harsh conditions. These include extreme weather, heavy loads, changing project scopes, and remote or temporary setups. A permanent building isn’t always practical or cost-effective. That’s where Kelly Klosure enclosures powered by modular design come in.

An enclosure from Kelly Klosure offers::

• Speed of deployment. The enclosure is made of pre-fabricated structural steel panels.  Doors, windows, louvers, sheeting and insulation are factory installed. This allows for on-site assembly up to 4 times faster than rigid frame building erection.
• Flexibility & relocatability. Once the project moves on, the building can be disassembled, reconfigured, or moved. This is ideal for oil and gas exploration, maintenance stalls, or evolving project footprints.
   
• Code-compliant structural design. Even though they can be called “temporary,” these buildings are engineered to structural standards (IBC, UFC, AISC), and they’re designed to be permanent enclosures and are rated to handle snow, wind, and seismic loads, which are essential for industrial and oil & gas environments.
   
• Adaptable foundation requirements. These enclosures have a modular panel design. They do not have heavy column-point loads. This allows them to use different temporary foundations. These foundations can include a base plate with earth anchors on grade or existing concrete or asphalt slabs.
   

How Metal Security Cages and Enclosures Add Value

For many industrial and energy applications, from equipment storage to controlled-access areas, security is as important as shelter. That’s why metal security cages and expanded-metal enclosures are often part of the solution.

• A metal security cage is made from strong expanded metal and heavy steel framing. It is much more durable than regular wire-mesh or fabric fencing.
   
• The modular panel cage system has special locking connections. This makes it easy to put together. You can also expand or shrink the cage size as needed.
   
• You can customize each enclosure with doors (swing or sliding), lockable hardware, and optional panel reconfiguration. This allows you to meet your project needs, whether for secure material storage or controlled-access areas.
   

Real-World Applications: Where Temporary Enclosures Shine

• Equipment shelters and housing. Enclosing equipment such as instrumentation, electrical panels, generators, and other field tools is important. This is especially true in harsh conditions, such as remote rigs, coastal areas, or cold climates.
   
• Temporary fabrication shops or maintenance buildings. During outages or shutdowns, companies might need a temporary workspace or fabrication area for maintenance, repairs, or upgrades. A modular temporary building structure can be delivered quickly and removed when the job is done.
   
• Material/tool storage and staging areas. A weather-rated temporary enclosure or metal security cage helps keep your supplies, materials, and tools secure and protected from the elements while giving you the flexibility your site needs.
   
• Temporary offices or control cabins. When regular office space is not available, a modular temporary building can be used. It can serve as a field office. It can also function as an inspection station or a control room. It can be moved or repurposed later.
   
• Harsh environment installations. Sites with heavy snow, strong winds, hurricanes, earthquakes, or extreme weather can benefit from specially designed structures. This includes coastal, arctic, and remote areas.
   

Why a Panelized Modular System Makes Sense

Traditional construction in industrial or energy settings can be slow and costly. It is often more than needed, especially for temporary use. At Kelly Klosure, a panelized modular system delivers advantages that matter:

• Speed + reduced labor. Many parts come preassembled, and the panels have exterior sheeting and optional insulation. This makes on-site assembly faster.
   
• Flexibility to reconfigure or relocate. As project requirements shift, expansion, downsizing, or site moves, modular panels enable reconfiguration, avoiding the waste associated with one-off builds.
   
• Minimal foundation burdens. Because the system avoids heavy column-point loads, it can be used with simple foundations or even existing concrete sheets — reducing site-prep time and cost.
   

If your site needs a quick, reliable, secure shelter or a flexible building solution that can be moved and adapted, a modular temporary building structure is a practical answer.

Matching the Right Solution to Site Needs

Not all temporary buildings are used the same way, and successful deployment depends on matching the structure to the project’s demands. Here are some guiding principles:

Kelly Klosure enclosure experts can help you assess your site conditions, project timeframe, and security needs, so you can choose the right combination of a temporary building, a metal security cage, or both that fits your goals.

Future-Ready: Why Temporary Enclosures Are Smart for Evolving Energy & Industrial Projects

As industries evolve, projects are becoming more modular, mobile, and fast-paced. Whether you’re managing a maintenance outage at a power plant, setting up a temporary fabrication shop for an oil & gas pipeline, or protecting equipment in harsh conditions, our temporary enclosures and metal security cages deliver the flexibility and speed traditional construction can’t match.

Our systems are built for rapid deployment, easy reconfiguration, and repeated use, making them a natural fit for shorter project cycles, shifting site needs, and tighter budgets. For companies that need to stay efficient and secure, a modular temporary building system from Kelly Klosure provides reliable support wherever the work goes.
