We have successfully completed one of our more technically and organisationally demanding projects for a long-standing German partner. The transformer tanks are intended for large power transformers that will form part of the region’s electricity infrastructure.

The project involves expanding and modernising an existing substation through the construction of a new 380 kV switchyard and the installation of two power transformers, each rated at 300 MVA. This will help increase the capacity and reliability of the region’s electricity grid.

A particular challenge was the specific design of the tanks, especially the manufacture and installation of the radiator bank supports, known as “skis”, which are attached directly to lugs on the tank beams. This solution required a high degree of precision in manufacturing, positioning and assembly, as well as thorough inspection of the completed work. The project’s complexity was further increased by stringent quality requirements and rigorous inspection procedures.

Careful preparation and effective coordination across our teams enabled us to successfully deliver the project, further strengthen our cooperation with our long-standing partner and reaffirm our expertise in manufacturing complex transformer tanks for the international market.
