Some of our latest Work

Removal of a Transformer in North East Scotland.

This was a 75t, 132kV Transformer dating back to 1961. It was reduced in size for transport, then transported under police escort back to our main site.

Stripping of a 400/66kV transformer on a site in Sheffield.

Due to a tight working area the transformer was skated within radius of the crane to allow a full strip down on site.

About Us​

In the mid sixties John Robson was trading in Government surplus and scrap metals, having an interest in electrical machines and equipment. We started to purchase scrap and redundant items from the local electricity board. This led to the first substation dismantling work in 1967 which has continued ever since.

Many challenges presented themselves and innovations to make the work safer and more efficient were introduced over time. The Wild West environment of the early days eventually gave way to a more civilised era where good work was recognised, allowing the company to develop successfully.
