Generators are large, noisy and potentially dangerous machines and so they demand particular care when it comes to their siting and protection. IMS Ltd. build professional generator canopies that protect the machinery and workforce. Protection from the weather can also be provided as well as security, safe access and ventilation.

Construction Weather Canopies

  • 1.6mm zintec steel body preformed into sections and welded to form a rigid structure (a heavier gauge is used when structurally or acoustically necessary
  • Aspiration and a cooling air flow is provided via – mesh or – fixed weather louvered apertures
  • Access doors can be positioned on both sides and the rear, if required. They have:
    • anti-rattle pads
    • slam lock fastening
    • a chromium handle
  • Viewing windows can be built into the doors for visual access to items such as generator control panel.

EC Acoustic Canopies

The structure is manufactured to the same high specification as the weather canopy with the addition of:

  • acoustic 50mm resin bonded mineral fibre faced with 1.0mm galvanised perforated steel applied to the doors and roof. This ensures that the structure meets the noise regulations laid down by the European community.

The EC acoustic canopies also feature:

  • acoustic louvers or baffles for aspiration and cooling air flow
  • flexible canvas plenums to interconnect radiators to outlets
  • access doors with a compression-type seal

Acoustic Canopies

The structure is manufactured to the same high specification as the weather canopy with the addition of:

  • acoustic 50/100mm resin bonded mineral fibre (density 45kg/m³) faced with galvanised perforated sheet


They also feature:

  • acoustic splitters or baffles to provide aspiration and cooling air flow
  • flexible canvas plenums to interconnect radiators to outlets
  • access doors with a compression type seal
  • double glazed viewing windows.

Demountable Canopies

Where a demountable canopy is required, acoustic panels are bolted to hollow box steel frames, which are, in turn, bolted together. It is recommended that demountable canopies are finished in primer for delivery and the top coat applied after the final assembly on site

Fire Resistance

All panels are constructed of non-combustible materials and satisfy Class 1, Spread of Flames requirements.
