Encasement
Encasement is a method of protecting objects, such as installations and designs, against unfavorable conditions in their environment. This is mainly done through the use of an outer shell or casing made from a variety of materials, such as metals, alloys, plastics, concrete, or even glass. The material used depends on the anticipated environment and the object's specific requirements. In some cases, the encasement may also be designed to provide additional protection against the elements, such as water, dust, and moisture. Encasement also serves the purpose of preventing unauthorized access and protecting the object from theft and vandalism.
