 National Recycling was invited to bid on the dismantling and removal of a redundant electrical substation in Stephenville, Newfoundland. Subsequent to winning the bid for the job, National Recycling was commissioned to remove four (4) 40,000 KVA transformers along with supporting infrastructure. National Recycling was responsible for dismantling, oil drainage, removal and transport of materials.
This project involved careful planning and assignment of labour and equipment- as well as presented logistical challenges, as the client requested that no dismantling take place on site. In order to overcome these obstacles, National Recycling Inc. arranged Heavy Lift Floats and Crane to arrive on site to remove the transformers in one piece to a temporary dismantling facility nearby. The transformers were then prepared for transport via flatbed trailers to our dismantling facility in Ontario. |
Items Removed:
- (4) Large Transformers- 40,000 KVA with a total weight of 140,000lbs per transformer-
- Oil Removal- National Recycling Inc. was responsible for oil drainage, disposal and testing. Oil tests showed less than 5 PPM of PCB’s. National Recycling commissioned a fully licensed oil drainage company to remove and dispose of the oil. A waste manifest was provided.
Removal Method:
- Commissioning a 300 ton Crane- required to safely lift each transformer-
- An oversized crane was required to move each transformer in one piece to the temporary dismantling facility
- Acquiring a temporary dismantling facility where the transformers could be prepared for transport
- Arranging Transport- dismantling on site was not permitted by the client- (7) Tri-Axle flatbeds were required to transport the transformers
