Energy Infrastructure
Overview
What we deliver
Energy projects need buildings that house equipment safely, meet the design actions for the site, and arrive on programme. KLY configures engineered steel buildings for battery storage, electrical and substation facilities — structure, envelope, access and documentation delivered as one building.
KLY delivers the engineered building system and works alongside your appointed electrical, civils, commissioning and installation contractors, with interfaces defined in the quotation. If your requirement spans wider than the building, ask — scope is agreed per project.
Buildings
Energy Infrastructure buildings
BESS buildings
Engineered buildings and enclosures housing battery modules, racks and associated equipment, configured around the equipment layout, access routes and ventilation strategy.
Battery storage buildings
Larger storage facilities with multiple bays or halls, laid out for equipment access, maintenance clearances and the site's fire and separation strategy.
Electrical buildings
Buildings for inverters, PCS units, switchgear and auxiliary electrical equipment, with openings and penetrations coordinated to the electrical layout.
Transformer buildings
Enclosures and buildings for transformers and associated plant, configured for the equipment mass, access for replacement, and ventilation and acoustic requirements.
Substation buildings
Buildings for substation equipment, protection and metering, configured to the network operator's layout and access requirements.
Control rooms
Control, welfare and operations buildings for energy sites, with the envelope, thermal specification and internal openings set by the intended use.
These buildings are examples, not limits — if your requirement isn't listed, send it through and KLY will confirm the route.
Projects
Typical projects
- —Grid-scale battery energy storage sites

Documentation
Documentation & traceability
Structural steelwork is manufactured under EN 1090 through qualified production partners, with the execution class set per project and certification held by the production partner. Every building is supplied with a project document pack — material certificates, welding and inspection records, coating reports, drawings and delivery documentation.
Delivery
Delivery, managed by KLY
Manufacturing release, inspection, packing and freight are managed by KLY and sequenced to your site programme. Delivery terms, destination, off-loading and site-access requirements are defined in the quotation.
Engineering
Engineering support
Every energy building is engineered before manufacture — design basis, structural calculations, general arrangements and connection details, issued with the building. Equipment layouts, penetrations and interfaces are worked out against your electrical and equipment data, with deliverables and design responsibility agreed for the project.
Other building configurations can be assessed from your site, building use and equipment requirements.
FAQ
Energy Infrastructure questions
A BESS building is an engineered steel building or enclosure that houses battery energy storage equipment — modules, racks, inverters and auxiliaries. It is configured around the equipment layout, access and maintenance clearances, ventilation openings and the site's separation and fire strategy, and is supplied with the structural and quality documentation the project needs.
Yes — that is the normal starting point. Spans, heights, door positions, openings and penetrations are configured from the equipment datasheets and layout drawings so the building fits the plant rather than the other way round.
The building system covers structure, envelope, doors, access and documentation. Batteries, inverters, switchgear, cabling and electrical works are supplied by your appointed contractors — and if your requirement spans wider than the building, ask: scope is agreed per project.
Acoustic and ventilation requirements are defined at specification stage and built into the configuration — louvre positions and sizes, attenuation provisions and envelope build-up. Performance criteria are set by the project's specialist consultants and coordinated into the building design.
Structural steelwork is manufactured under EN 1090 through qualified production partners, with the execution class set per project. Material certificates, welding and inspection records, coating certificates and declarations of performance are compiled into a single project document pack.
