Prefabricated concrete transformer substations: why are they useful for companies?

Over the past decade, the electrical industry has undergone many changes at various levels. This has led to the emergence of transformer substations, prefabricated using concrete. These innovative structures offer many practical advantages to the companies that use them on electrical construction sites. Here are just a few of the reasons to adopt these prefabricated concrete transformer substations.

Low construction costs


Whatever the field of construction, prefabrication is a cost-saving technique. In the electrical sector, savings are substantial in a number of areas. These savings mainly concern the labor used on construction sites. Transformer substations are prefabricated from concrete in a single location. As a result, fewer professionals are needed on site.

Increased durability

Structural design in the electrical industry has undergone a decisive change with the introduction of prefabricated elements. Prefabricated transformer substations, for example, benefit from greater strength. This means they are not subject to the various constraints that prevail on construction sites. These include

  • weather conditions
  • the environment;
  • etc.

The special characteristics of concrete guarantee the durability of the transformer substations we design. What’s more, maintenance costs are also kept to a minimum, as structures are more resistant to hazards.

Quick installation


The option of prefabricating electrical transformer substations in concrete facilitates their deployment on site. As a result, companies working in this sector are less likely to experience delays in their execution schedules. Compared with conventional methods, the prefabrication option saves an enormous amount of time. Electrical structures can be quickly installed, depending on the nature of the project.

Site preparation is carried out while the substation components are being designed. The companies simply take care of on-site assembly in record time. This makes the work easier and more precise.
