KL Industri’s ability to be flexible and adapt to customer needs is one of the company’s greatest strengths. Our team ensures that every element meets the highest quality standards, from casting to the finished product. KL Industri presents Project Kylarevägen, a three-part article series.
Tekniska Verken, one of our framework agreement customers, submitted a request that went beyond our existing contract. With a strong focus on charging infrastructure, they are currently developing a charging hub in central Linköping for both electric cars and electric trucks. To meet the demand, they required a network station with a capacity of over 3 MVA.
After presenting TSB3E, our largest indoor-serviced concrete station, KL Industri was selected as the supplier. The standard configuration of this station houses three transformers, each up to 1250 kVA, says John Hallgren, sales manager for the project.
Production of the TSB3E has now begun!
Casting the concrete is the first crucial step in the manufacturing process. This phase is carefully planned and executed by our skilled team. Once poured, the structural elements – including the roof, walls, and foundation – cure over a few days before they are ready for assembly, explains Peter L. Andersson.
Once the concrete has set and hardened sufficiently, the individual components are lifted from the casting tables.
They are then moved directly to the assembly area, where the walls and foundation are welded together. From there, the station proceeds to the next step – painting, both inside and out.
The roof is mounted later in the process. In this particular case, as the roof is black, we use pigmented concrete instead of paint. This saves both time and space in our assembly hall and is a more sustainable choice. Other key benefits include reduced paint consumption and an improved working environment.
Next step: Final assembly and inspection
KL Industri is proud to deliver an advanced and customized solution to Tekniska Verken. In part two of this three-part series, we will dive into the assembly and inspection process before the station is transported for installation. Stay tuned!
