Dismantling and safe removal of PCB-contaminated transformers — oil draining, decontamination of the casing and core, ADR transport and metal recycling. Full documentation for inspections. 17 years of experience, since 2009.
Transformers with PCB oil are a legacy of 1970s and 1980s power infrastructure — and North Macedonia still has a significant number of distribution and industrial transformers whose oil contains polychlorinated biphenyls. Removing them is not just a matter of draining the oil: the casing, core and windings are also contaminated and must be decontaminated or disposed of as hazardous waste.
Our team handles complete dismantling and disposal — safe oil draining, dismantling the equipment with a crane and special tools, decontaminating parts that can be salvaged, ADR transport and recycling of metals (copper, steel) at licensed foundries. All with strict emissions control and full documentation for regulatory inspections.
We have experience with distribution transformers up to 1 MVA, power transformers up to 100 MVA, dry-type and oil-filled transformers, and contaminated substations on factory sites and in municipal distribution networks. Every job is scheduled during downtime — with no interruption to the power supply.
From contamination assessment to metal recycling — all in one package.
Oil sampling, analysis of ppm values, assessment of the condition of the casing and core.
Safe draining of the PCB oil into ADR containers before the equipment is dismantled.
With a crane, sealed platform and special tools — no release into the environment.
Mechanical and chemical cleaning of the casing and core to a level fit for recycling.
Special transport of contaminated parts to a licensed facility.
Copper and steel are recycled at licensed foundries, with certificates.
From the first site visit to the recycling certificate — a transparent, documented process.
Inspection of the substation, dimensions, access, manufacturer data.
PCB sample, ppm value, classification of the equipment as hazardous waste.
Downtime plan, LOTO procedures, coordination with the electricity distributor.
Safe oil draining, dismantling by crane, packing.
Cleaning of the casing and core, preparation for metal recycling.
ADR transport, recycling at a licensed foundry, DKO forms and certificates.
