Airport Terminal Expansion
Project Overview
During the expansion of a major Russian airport terminal, the client faced a critical power supply gap after its European substation supplier ceased deliveries due to international sanctions. Local alternatives quoted delivery windows of 6–8 months at premium prices—unacceptable for a fast-track infrastructure project. Additionally, all equipment had to operate reliably at temperatures as low as -40°C and meet stringent physical security and ingress protection standards for aviation environments.
Key project requirements included
Reliable alternative to sanctioned European equipment with shorter lead time
Full operability at -40°C ambient temperature without performance degradation
High mechanical strength and anti-theft design for unattended outdoor installation
Rapid on-site commissioning to avoid construction delays
TSTY Electric’s Customized Solution
TSTY supplied six prefabricated concrete substations engineered specifically for Arctic conditions. The units featured high-strength concrete enclosures, cold-climate oil, and low-temperature-rated components—all fully assembled and tested down to -45°C before shipment. This “plug-and-play” approach enabled immediate energization upon arrival, cutting field installation time by over 70%.
Core Technical Adaptations
High-strength concrete enclosure with freeze-thaw and corrosion resistance
Cold-climate transformer oil and -45°C rated internal components
Fully pre-assembled and cold-tested in factory for plug-and-play deployment
Integrated anti-theft design and IP54+ protection for airport security compliance

*All units passed third-party type testing per regional requirements prior to shipment.
Engineered for CIS Countries, Validated Globally
When geopolitical constraints collide with engineering extremes, resilience must be built into every layer—from supply chain to substation shell.
Sanction-Proof Supply with Speed
TSTY delivered fully compliant substations in under 12 weeks—less than half the local lead time—ensuring the terminal stayed on schedule.
Built for the Arctic, Tested Beyond Requirement
Concrete shells resist cracking in freeze-thaw cycles, while cold-formulated oil maintains viscosity and insulation integrity below -40°C.
Zero Field Assembly, Maximum Reliability
With all wiring, grounding, and testing completed indoors under controlled conditions, on-site work was limited to cable connection and energization.
A Trusted Alternative in Complex Markets
By combining local regulatory knowledge, extreme-environment engineering, and agile manufacturing, TSTY provided a seamless replacement for legacy European systems—proving that global projects can succeed even amid supply chain turbulence.
