Since 2018, Ratec has already installed over 20 adjustable substation moulds, three variable moulds for cable basements and over 20 roof moulds - both horizontal and vertical – for the production of transformer substations. With the extensive experience gained from past projects, Ratec has significantly expanded its expertise in this field and at the same time expanded its team in design, production and assembly.
Transformer substations are subject to strict technical requirements in terms of safety and installation. In combination with the customer's desire for a wide range of variants and flexibility, this results in complex requirements for the mould. Ratec meets these challenges with modular and adaptable form-work solutions that enable efficient utilisation of production areas.
The focus is always on customer needs: Right from the planning phase, Ratec works closely with customers to optimise the implementation of specific requirements and production targets. Moulds are designed to facilitate workflows, relieve the burden on plant personnel and ensure a consistently high quality of elements. The robust design and high-quality workmanship ensure that the formwork has a long service life.
A look at the latest projects makes it clear why formwork solutions from Ratec are so popular with manufacturers worldwide.
Europe: new production plant equipped
In 2024, several moulds were installed for a new plant in Southeastern Europe, including modular moulds for substations, roof moulds and a mould for cable basements.
