Sucha large-scale initiative presented unique challenges, particularly in understanding the structural intricacies of existing switchyards and planning upgrades with precision. However, the absence of detailed drawings for existing structures posed a significant challenge to the planning and execution of the upgrades.

Xradar™ advanced concrete scanning technology played a pivotal role in addressing these challenges. Tasked with providing detailed insights into the condition of building structures, plinths, and foundations, the team meticulously scanned multiple PMU sites, including:
· Ayer Keroh
· Juru
· Ijok
· Renggit
· Juru Penang
· Bona Vista
· Elmina West
· Olak Lempit
· Kuala Perlis
· Pasir Putih
· Raub, and more
This non-destructive scanning method captured essential data such as dimensions, reinforcement details, concrete compression strength and potential structural vulnerabilities without disrupting the existing infrastructure or ongoing operations.
The data retrieved enabled TNB to accurately assess load-bearing capacities and evaluate the structural integrity of each site. This precise analysis was vital in ensuring the safe integration of new components while mitigating risks. Xradar’s comprehensive reporting provided TNB with the clarity and confidence needed to make informed decisions, facilitating smooth and optimized planning for the upgrades.

By combining expertise with cutting-edge technology, Xradar supported TNB in transforming its switchyards into robust and future-ready components of the power grid. The result is a strengthened foundation that not only meets current demands but also positions TNB to handle future challenges, ensuring uninterrupted power for Malaysia’s households and industries. As the nation progresses, partnerships like this exemplify the role of innovation and collaboration in driving infrastructural excellence.
