When it comes to transporting or handling transformers, containment is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. Failing to use proper transformer containment measures can lead to a series of risks ranging from environmental contamination to legal liabilities and financial loss. Whether

Transporting transformers, whether retired from service or being relocated for maintenance, involves more than just securing the unit to a flatbed. The presence of oil, potential contaminants like PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), and the environmental risks tied to leaks or spills

When it comes to handling transformers—whether during routine maintenance, transportation, or emergency response—having the right containment solution is critical. Transformer Containment Bags play a central role in environmental safety, regulatory compliance, and spill prevention. But what gives these containment bags

Across the utility sector, a noticeable shift is taking place: companies are proactively investing in secondary containment solutions to manage transformer handling, storage, and transport more responsibly. This isn’t simply a trend—it’s a response to a range of regulatory, environmental,

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were once widely used in electrical equipment, including transformers, due to their insulating properties. However, since the 1970s, these compounds have been recognized as toxic environmental contaminants with long-term risks to soil, water, and human health. While

Pole-mounted transformers are a familiar sight in residential neighborhoods, commercial corridors, and rural areas across the country. These compact yet essential electrical units deliver power efficiently and reliably—but they also carry an environmental risk. Over time or due to external

Why Safe Transformer Transport Requires More Than Just Logistics Transporting transformers from the field requires more than just logistical coordination—it demands strict adherence to safety, regulatory compliance, and environmental responsibility. Whether you’re decommissioning old units, responding to storm damage, or

Transporting transformers—especially those containing oil or PCBs—requires careful adherence to federal safety regulations. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) enforces stringent guidelines to ensure that hazardous materials are moved safely, minimizing risk to people, property, and the environment. If you

When handling and transporting electrical transformers, especially those containing oil or PCBs, safety and regulatory compliance are not optional—they’re critical. One key factor in ensuring a safe and legal process is the use of DOT approved containment bags. But what

Utility crews and contractors working with transformers know that no two jobs are exactly alike. From transformer sizes and shapes to the conditions in which they’re handled, there are countless variables that affect containment performance. While standard transformer containment bags
