Utilizing our affiliate company, TCI of Alabama, Transformer Technologies successfully removed equipment from 5 separate substations in Southern California. Two substations required removal of transformers, circuit breakers, lattice towers and auxilliary equipment; Two substations required removal of untested bushings; and One substation required removal of two large transformers. Transformer Technologies arranged the Hazardous Material hauling and worked with TCI of Alabama to test and process the bushings. All transportation, crane work, and demolition was coordinated to minimize substation disruption and fit the customer's schedule. |

Transformer Technologies has been servicing Portland General Electric for many years. 2-49 PPM of PCB transformer oil is removed from their main storage tanks and transported to a PCB Oil recycling facility in the Midwest. Scrap Distribution transformers are picked up at PGE’s service center and processed at Transformer Technologies’ Salem, OR, facility. Transformer Technologies’ field crews are active in PGE substations, removing transformers, OCB’s, capacitors, and other equipment. Recently, a field crew assisted with a Forensic Teardown of a large substation transformer to determine the root cause of failure. Transformer Technologies is proud to provide PGE with quick response and fair recovery values. Portland General Electric
| A Major California Utility required the removal of all surplus electrical equipment from four floors of a live urban substation. Equipment included single phase transformers, circuit breakers, regulators, reactors, and cabling. The building presented many challenges including limited crane capacity, confined spaces, and neighborhood work restrictions. In addition, asbestos, lead paint, and lead sheathing was present in many areas. Transformer Technologies arranged for an abatement contractor and a specialized equipment mover to assist, insuring compliance with California health, safety, and environmental regulations. All equipment was safely removed, providing usable space for future expansion and eliminating environmental liabilities. Urban Substation
