Our experience, engineering and planning make the difference.
CID is well equipped to provide prefabricated control rooms and blast buildings for the shale gas industry. The shale gas industry includes the extraction of natural gas from shale formations and the subsequent production of energy. We collaborate with engineers, architects, safety professionals, and third-party inspection agencies to ensure that our products meet the updated versions of the International Building Codes (IBC), International Mechanical Codes (IMC), International Plumbing Code (IPC), International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), National Electrical Code (NEC) and (NFPA 70). We manufacture a variety of prefabricated control rooms and blast buildings, including:
The installation of our versatile and crane-liftable modular buildings is straightforward, helping us to supply our clients with control rooms and blast buildings expeditiously. Our buildings are constructed with a continuously welded skeleton of 1/4” tubular steel, guaranteeing durability. Buildings can range up to 16 feet in width and can include features such as:

- Electrical and pneumatic control systems
- Panels
- Consoles
- Desks
- Motor control centers
- Stairs
- Catwalks
- Landings
- Handrails

Frequently Asked Questions About Shale Gas Modular Buildings
What types of buildings does CID manufacture for the shale gas industry?
For shale gas operations, CID manufactures prefabricated control rooms and blast buildings, along with communication shelters, bathrooms, and locker/break rooms. These structures support the extraction and processing work involved in producing energy from shale formations.
What building codes apply to shale gas modular buildings?
Shale gas modular buildings are designed to meet the current versions of the International Building Code, International Mechanical Code, International Plumbing Code, International Energy Conservation Code, and the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), verified with third-party inspection agencies.
How wide can shale gas control rooms and blast buildings be built?
Shale gas control rooms and blast buildings can be constructed up to 16 feet wide, with a continuously welded tubular steel skeleton for durability in field conditions.
Why do shale gas operators choose crane-liftable modular buildings?
Crane-liftable modular buildings install quickly and straightforwardly, letting shale gas operators get control rooms and blast buildings onsite fast. That speed matters on remote or actively producing sites where downtime carries a real cost.
