Electrical Utilities

Canada’s leading manufacturer of Fiberglass , Transformer Pads, Trench Covers and Aerial Markers

Fibreglass Transformer Pads

SCTL manufactures a wide range of transformer pads that are engineered and designed to handle the weight and dimensional footprint of most transformers, switchgears, generators and CSTEs used in the electrical utility market.

SCTL also has the engineering capabilities to design and manufacture custom bases that can handle larger and heavier cabinets, ideal for remote locations where accessibility is limited.

Durable
Fibreglass pads are highly UV and weather resistant – not affected by sunlight, moisture or extreme temperatures

Corrosion Resistance
Resistant to a broad range of substances including chloride-Ion, sulphate, salt water and soil

High Strength
Very high strength-to-weight ratio compared to concrete and metal

Customizable
Location and size of structural beams, sidewall configuration, cabinet cable opening location, colour, etc.

Lightweight
Fibreglass pad weighs up to 10-times less than a comparable concrete utility pad

Surface Finish
Boasts a level, smooth top surface and sidewalls

Shipping Efficiency
Low weight and the ability to stack units allows numerous pads to be  transported in a single shipment

Easy Installation
Dig, level and place pad, coil wire in pad cavity, backfill pad, install utility box – it’s that simple!

Low Electrical Conductivity
FRP is not electrically conductive

High EMI & RFI Transparency
Does not contribute to electromagnetic or radio frequency interference

Low Life Cycle Cost
Composite materials typically exhibit a  very long service life and are virtually maintenance free
