Transformer & Utility Pads
UTILITY-SPEC TRANSFORMER & EQUIPMENT PADS
Transformer and utility pads are poured to specific utility company standards for placement of electrical transformers, switchgear, meter pedestals, and telecommunications equipment. Each utility (Xcel Energy, CenterPoint, etc.) has specific pad size, thickness, reinforcement, and grounding requirements. We pour pads to the requesting utility's latest specifications, including conduit stub-ups, grounding provisions, and proper clearances.
