Edison Electric Way Station

Pacific Mobile Structures partnered with Silver Creek and Custom Modular to deliver a highly specialized building for Edison Electric in the remote, snow-prone area of Shaver Lake, CA. This double-wide 24×60 structure includes four offices and two restrooms, designed to withstand the harsh elements and support storm damage repair operations for Edison Electric crews. The building was constructed offsite and delivered ready for set-up, overcoming the challenges posed by the remote location and severe weather conditions.

The facility was built with a 175 lb. snow load-rated roof, with support columns cleverly concealed within the private office walls, maintaining both structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. The project also featured enhanced drainage solutions and an ADA-compliant walkway to ensure quick and easy access during snowstorms.

Although the building came offline from the factory in October 2021, permitting delays pushed delivery into the winter of 2022. At Cotton Logistics’ request, the building was delivered during harsh weather and placed in separate halves. While this created some weather-related challenges, our team tackled the repairs efficiently, and site work commenced in Summer 2023. Today, the Edison Electric Way Station stands as a fully functional, resilient space, ready to support storm response operations in one of the most challenging locations.
