For over twenty years, ICEE have manufactured and installed a variety of National Highway’s approved equipment enclosures to provide key power for highways equipment.

Leveraging the latest manufacturing techniques, ICEE rapidly fabricates and assembles the whole National Highways enclosure range across the United Kingdom. All of our National Highways enclosures comply with the relevant industry standards. This includes the Highways Agency TR2130C Environmental Test.

All enclosures fabricated for the UK transport sector by ICEE are manufactured by the latest fabrication techniques, including Fibre Laser Cutting, Waterjet Cutting and Metal Folding.

What was the challenge?

Like any project that impacts the public, lead time and cost are top priorities. ICEE manage all our National Highways Projects with this key priority in mind. By utilising the latest manufacturing techniques, as well as extensive project management, ICEE ensured all projects were on time, and in some cases, ahead of schedule. Most recently, one of our enclosure projects for National Highways, in partnership with Balfour Beatty, was completed even faster than initially quoted. While a few weeks may seem minor, in projects involving live road closures, early completion can save millions of pounds. Reducing downtime not only minimizes disruption for motorists but also lowers costs associated with traffic management, labor and operational delays. Our ability to accelerate production without compromising quality demonstrates our commitment to efficiency and innovation in infrastructure development.

What environmental factors need to be considered?

National Highways sets strict standards for electrical enclosures due to their roadside locations, demanding use cases, and long life cycles. Utilising our manufacturing expertise, meeting these requirements was no surprise or challenge for our team. From the outset, we understood that these enclosures needed to meet the highest standards of durability and performance. Since our work began with National Highways, all our enclosures manufactured for the UK’s motorways now comply with the Highways Agencys TR2130C Environmental Test, as well as being IP56 Rated, ensuring resilience against harsh conditions and long-term reliability.

With unexcelled experience, knowledge, and reputation for fabricating outdoor enclosures and project management within the transport sector, ICEE’s highly qualified engineers can offer a solution for even the most complicated and specific needs.

Our complete end-to-end process includes everything from design for manufacturing, fabrication, testing, installation, maintenance and decommissioning. These services have helped many of our clients receive the highest level of service at least cost.
