The removal and dismantlement of this 265 MVA transformer had to coincide with the delivery of the replacement unit. This transformer was located in an active 230 KV substation.The dismantlement process included pumping oil, removing bushings, frame, coils, core steel and processing transformer shell.

TRC America personnel have been specially trained in the process of transformer dismantlement. Every employee attends local utility training seminars to be qualified in detecting the hazards of live substation work. TRC ensures personnel are trained and use all necessary safety equipment particular to the job assignment.

During the dismantlement process all necessary precautions are taken to ensure that there is no environmental impact due to oil spills. Absorbent pads, barriers and containment systems are used throughout the oil removal and transformer dismantlement. We supply our customers with all necessary manifests and test results for all oil disposed of.

Due to our extensive contacts both here and abroad, TRC America is able to guarantee our customers excellent returns for their assets and ensure that we meet or exceed our goal of 90%+ recycling/reuse of all materials.
