Oil Containment Engineering & Design

Albarrie staff comprises a group of engineers, technologists and technicians with a diverse range of talents to provide state of the art secondary containment system solutions and transformer oil containment design for SorbWeb™ Plus and its related product line.

 

Albarrie has a Certificate of Authorization/ Permit to Practice Engineering from the Professional Engineers of Ontario (PEO), The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA) and Saskatchewan (APEGS) and a member of The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of the province of British Columbia (APEGBC). Through our professional engineering network we have access to peer reviews throughout North America.

 

Albarrie’s innovative engineering design team follows specific transformer oil containment design criteria to ensure the project is successful and the client’s goals are achieved. Along with best practice recommendations, client input, and a promise to deliver the highest quality product, we focus on developing the right solution for your needs.

 

Our transformer oil containment design package includes stamped final designs, detailed final reports and As Built drawings among other services. Secondary containment solutions are designed to be passive, allow for drive-ability access to the equipment and be maintenance free. What facility owner doesn’t love that?
