Continuous Energy Service to Beyoğlu from EKOS Electric: Turkey’s First Domestic Underground Concrete Kiosk Manufacturer!
EKOS Electric, the first domestic manufacturer of underground concrete kiosks in Turkey, has brought a solution to the energy problem in Beyoğlu, one of the most attractive locations in Istanbul.
Underground concrete kiosks are transformer centers designed to be used in electricity distribution. These underground concrete kiosks produced by EKOS Electric have successfully passed the 16 kA 1 s internal arc resistance test as a result of tests conducted by internationally accredited laboratories and have proven itself in the sector.
For Ziraat REIT’s branch in Beyoğlu, the substations used at 36 kV voltage level and 1000 kVA transformer power were taken underground and aesthetically harmonized with the space. This engineering marvel, produced by EKOS Electric with Turkish engineering and capital, offers an aesthetic that does not disturb the magnificent silhouette of Istanbul, while easily adapting to the area where it is placed thanks to its underground feature. In addition, these pavilions, which aim not to disrupt the structure of nature and not disturb the portfolio of life, use the space maximally efficiently.
This new technological development is considered an important step towards strengthening Istanbul’s energy infrastructure and preserving the aesthetics of the city.
