A new generation in transformer support structures has arrived. This fully recyclable, UV stabilised medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) plastic range is made to replace currently used concrete pads and supporting structures.
With Health and Safety front of mind, this range has been designed for ease of use, lightweight maneuverability and environmental protection. The MDPE components are rotationally molded right here in New Zealand to the very clever design specification of our local engineers. They are both lightweight and strong, for fast and simple assembly on site.
The supporting structures consist of pads supported by interlocking footings. Each pad is supported by two longitudinal footings and two transverse footings:
FE (Finite Element) simulation results show all products in this range satisfy requirements around seismic loading (Earthquake) and static loading from transformers.
Options:
TXPAD1-C - Transformer pad and base structure complete
TXPAD - Transformer pad only (no base structure)
**TXPAD2-C & TXPAD3-C - Under Development
