Factory-Built Substations
Shift Construction Off-Site & Electrify Results
DIS-TRAN's signature product line of factory-built substations significantly reduces on-site construction time and expense. We can assemble a complete, custom, open-air, high-voltage system that can meet any intended usage requirements or working environments (even utilizing customer-specified or furnished equipment), all in a factory setting that controls costs and schedules better than field conditions ever could.
A controlled environment offers more tools and options to perform work more precisely, at lower cost, faster, without the complications of multiple vendors and field delays.
Drive down total installed costs in factory and field. By tying custom-fabrication capabilities directly into our other services, DIS-TRAN can create and deliver custom factory-built assemblies faster, better and at lower cost.
Reduce on-site work time and expense A factory-built substation reduces foundations and below-grade trench, conduit, and grounding in number and size, simplifying and shortening time spent in the field.
Eliminate contingencies that create emergencies. By relocating much of the work to the controlled safety conditions of a factory environment, we mitigate the serious safety risks inherent in an electrified substation.
Break dependencies that create liabilities. Factory-work eliminates the need for expensive, scarce specialty labor in the field (such as aluminum welders) and eliminates the impact of bad weather on your project.

Elevated Substations
DIS-TRAN elevates substation structures in-place to 13 feet above sea level.
Louisiana-based DIS-TRAN has designed the perfect solution to resist flooding from massively destructive "hundred year" tropical storms. Even better, elevation never interferes with power production.
