Every industry relies on equipment that needs to remain protected, accessible and operational. From electrical switchgear and transformers to pumps, meters, pipework, control panels and rooftop services, the right enclosure can help protect critical equipment from weather, damage, corrosion and unauthorised access.
At Hill Grwp Ltd, we design and manufacture GRP and steel enclosures, GRP kiosks, weatherproof housings, switchgear substations, sprinkler pump rooms and TopBox roof entry systems for commercial, industrial, utility and infrastructure projects across the UK.
Utilities and Infrastructure
Utility and infrastructure projects often require secure, weatherproof enclosures for electrical and service equipment.
Hill Grwp Ltd manufactures GRP enclosures, steel kiosks and substation buildings for applications such as:
switchgear housings
transformer enclosures
control panel kiosks
metering housings
telemetry equipment housings
electrical distribution equipment
GRP and steel substation enclosures
Our enclosures can be designed around equipment layout, access requirements, ventilation, steel bases, cable entries, doors, finishes and site installation needs.
Energy projects often involve equipment exposed to demanding environments, including weather, corrosion risk, operational wear and service access requirements.
Hill Grwp Ltd can manufacture GRP metering housings, pump station enclosures, steel equipment housings and bespoke plant enclosures for energy and industrial applications.
GRP is widely used for external equipment housings because it is weather-resistant, corrosion-resistant and low maintenance, making it suitable for many harsh industrial environments.
Typical applications include:
gas metering housings
pump station enclosures
pipework protection
control equipment housings
service entry enclosures
GRP kiosks for energy infrastructure
Construction and Commercial Buildings
Commercial buildings and construction projects often need reliable ways to protect rooftop services, plant equipment and service penetrations.
Hill Grwp Ltd manufactures TopBox roof entry systems for pipework, ductwork, cabling and electrical containment passing through the roof.
A properly designed roof entry system helps create a controlled, weatherproof route for services entering the building, reducing the risk of poor sealing around roof penetrations and helping protect the building fabric.
Our construction and commercial solutions include:
Manufacturing and Industrial Sites
Manufacturing and industrial sites often require robust enclosures for equipment that must remain protected but accessible for maintenance.
Hill Grwp Ltd designs industrial GRP enclosures and steel housings for applications such as production equipment, pumps, machinery, control systems and service equipment.
These enclosures can be manufactured in bespoke sizes to accommodate larger equipment, access doors, ventilation, removable panels, service openings, steel bases and internal fit-out requirements.
Typical industrial applications include:
Critical Facilities and Data Centres
Critical facilities, including data centres and high-dependency sites, rely on secure infrastructure to support uptime and operational resilience.
Hill Grwp Ltd can manufacture switchgear housings, substation enclosures, transformer housings and weatherproof electrical equipment enclosures for projects where reliability, access control and environmental protection are essential.
For these environments, enclosures can be designed around:
electrical equipment protection
ventilation and airflow requirements
secure access
steel base frames
cable entry points
weatherproof external installation
project-specific finishes
delivery and installation requirements
