Electrical Substation Products

The COMPOSOLITE^® Secondary Containment System is ideal for use in any application requiring secure containment of liquid or solid materials. The system was initially developed in conjunction with American Electric Power and has been widely accepted by many utilities. Current installations number over 500.

Each containment system is shipped with the following materials:

Two substation installation jobs in Virginia and Tennessee were completed In March of 2007. Benefits of the new covers were obvious and immediate. In the course of six and a half days, a three-man crew used only twelve tons of UTILICOVER^® panels to replace seventy tons of concrete covers!

The project manager stated the UTILICOVER^® covers were installed more quickly by hand than the concrete covers could be removed with an excavator.

A faxable order form is available in the UTILICOVER^® Flyer.
