Genset, canopy and acoustic enclosures
A canopy is a weatherproof, acoustic, serviceable steel box that has to survive being lifted, transported and dropped on a site. Ganesh builds canopies, acoustic enclosures, base frames, skid bases, louvre panels, access doors and control panel enclosures for Mahindra Powerol. These guides cover the design decisions behind each panel (stiffness and drumming, louvre free area, door sealing, base frame flatness and lifting points), and the pretreatment and coating that decide whether a canopy still looks right after two monsoons.
