Ground Protection for a Transformer within a Substation 

When our customer was tasked with lifting and installing a new transformer within a substation, they faced a significant challenge: unstable ground conditions and restricted access. With a heavy crane required for the operation, the risk of ground disturbance and vehicle sinking was extremely high. To ensure a safe and efficient lift, they turned to Grassform for a robust trackway solution.

Solution & Implementation

Grassform provided and installed TuffTrak heavy-duty trackway, creating a stable platform capable of supporting the crane and transport vehicles. TuffTrak’s high load-bearing capacity and non-slip surface ensured maximum ground protection while enabling seamless movement within the confined substation environment. The system was quickly deployed, allowing the lift to proceed on schedule without delays.

With Grassform’s expert trackway solution, the crane hire company successfully completed the transformer installation safely and efficiently, demonstrating the power of strategic ground protection in high stakes lifting operations.
