The CiSCO Manufacturing Process
Unlike suppliers who use prefabricated housings, CiSCO designs and builds our own custom shelters. This enables strict control of quality and consistency, while allowing CiSCO to offer many customized features that may not be available in other enclosures. CiSCO is registered and certified by the State of Colorado and many other states to manufacture shelters, and we build and ship our shelters worldwide.
Our AWS (American Welding Society) and CWB (Canadian Welding Bureau) certified welders start with a 3/16″ solid steel plate on the shelter floor. Steel channels frame the bottom of the shelter and 3″ square, 11-gauge corner posts support the side panels. Our entire welding shop is certified by both CWB and AWS.
All shelters are complete with electrical, lighting, heating, air conditioning, PLC wiring, stainless steel and copper tubing, analyzers, utility connections, and metal siding. Our siding has a 30-year warranty. R22 insulation shields the walls, ceiling, and floor for all-around protection. CiSCO shelters have a productive life of 30+ years.
SHELTER INSPECTIONS
To ensure that CiSCO provides the highest quality of products, all CEMS shelters and equipment undergo extensive inspection and testing prior to shipment. All CEMS shelters undergo a 3-stage inspection during the manufacturing process. A checklist is used at each stage to document the inspections as well as any non-conformances that need to be corrected.
1. PRE-SKINNED
The framework of the shelter is inspected for the correct dimensions and material per the construction drawing specifications. The floor and frame welds are inspected to ensure that they are structurally sound.
2. SKINNED
The insulation and paneling installed on the framework is inspected per the assembly drawing specifications. Interior and exterior siding and roof paneling are inspected for correct material, installation, and damage.
3. FINAL
Takes place when the building assembly is complete and all equipment and components have been installed on the interior and exterior of the shelter, including all systems, wiring, hardware, and labeling.
