Advanced Extraction Labs (AEL) designs and manufactures custom modular switchgear enclosures and prefabricated electrical buildings. Built to protect high-voltage equipment, power distribution systems, and critical infrastructure, our enclosures provide weather resistance, temperature control, and physical security. Whether you need a standalone outdoor container or a modular panel system integrated into an existing facility, AEL delivers turnkey, code-compliant solutions built in our Santa Rosa, California facility.
Engineered for Protection and Rapid Deployment
Protecting high-voltage power systems from overload, harsh weather, and unauthorized access requires more than just a basic metal box. AEL’s prefabricated electrical buildings are engineered environments. By manufacturing your switchgear enclosure offsite, we eliminate delays, multi-trade coordination, and weather disruptions. Your enclosure arrives fully assembled, tested, and ready for immediate installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
While our standard process involves building the enclosure and integrating equipment prior to shipment, we can design modular panel systems that can be assembled around existing infrastructure in certain indoor applications. Contact our engineering team to discuss your specific site constraints.
Yes. While we offer standard 20-foot and 40-foot container platform footprints, the majority of our switchgear enclosures are custom-built to accommodate specific dimensions, clearance requirements, and thermal loads.
Because enclosures are manufactured offsite, deployment is significantly faster than traditional construction. Units ship fully assembled and ready for installation, often reducing project timelines from months to weeks.
Yes. We integrate custom HVAC solutions engineered specifically for the heat output of your switchgear to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Yes. AEL specializes in fire-rated construction and can engineer enclosures with specialized panel assemblies to meet strict local fire codes and proximity requirements.
