We were proud to sponsor a car at this year’s IWK 250 in Nova Scotia, one of the region’s most exciting racing events and a major fundraiser for the IWK Health Centre.

Supporting this event means more than just racing, it’s about giving back to families and children across Atlantic Canada. We’re honored to be part of something so important.

Thanks to everyone who made the event a success. We’ll see you at the track next year!

One of our utility partners recently called on Stark to begin the first phase of their transformer rehabilitation plan.

Here’s what we took care of:

🔹 Sorted the utility’s yard inventory into units to scrap vs. refurbish
🔹 Used our picker truck to safely load pole-mounted transformers
🔹 Rehabilitated the selected units through:
• Painting
• Electrical testing
• Oil sampling & filtration

Whether it’s small distribution units or large power transformers, Stark handles the full process from removal to readiness for reinstallation.

Do you have transformers to dispose of or restore? Contact Stark today.

What is Oil Diagnostics?

Oil diagnostics is like doing a blood test for the transformer.

What Can We Learn?

By analyzing the oil, we can find out if:
•The transformer is running well.
•There are signs of a problem (before it fails).
•Maintenance or repairs are needed soon.

Simple Analogy

•Think of it like a car engine:
•The oil keeps it cool and running smoothly.
•If the oil smells burnt or is full of metal shavings, you know something’s wrong.
•Regular oil checks help avoid big, expensive problems.

Why It Matters

Transformer failures are costly and can lead to power outages.
Oil diagnostics help:
•Prevent failures
•Plan maintenance
•Extend the life of the equipment
