Special Delivery!! - New Substation Transformer

Talk about Mega-Movers… DANG!! I’m honestly surprised they got this big power transformer down to this substation. The time has finally come to upgrade the old power transformers that power this river station on the Snake River in Washington. The old Transformers were from the 1950’s and still going strong. They powered over 30,000 horsepower worth of pumps used to irrigate the desert land to grow crops. Imagine having one of these old transformers fail during peak watering season… OUCH!!! These transformers don’t just come in over night. Our company ordered these transformers 2 years ago and they are now just getting moved into place. This is one of two river pumping stations that are getting new power transformers installed this year. It was finally time to swap them out… they did their time powering massive amounts of horsepower to water the crops. Food Grows Where Water Flows.
