Amazing work Jason! Love seeing the behind-the-scenes process of creating our substation Lego videos! It’s incredible how much creativity and detail went into showcasing our work in such an engaging way. A great reminder of the innovation and passion that drives APD Global forward!
I’m thrilled to share the story behind the LEGO model I’ve been working on for APD Global. This project has been a unique opportunity to blend my engineering experience with LEGO design, bringing a concept to life from start to finish. The model represents a 132kV Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) substation, which is also a real-world project designed by our substation design team. Creating this model has been an incredibly rewarding challenge, and I’m proud of how it turned out. The process involved using the LEGO design tool to recreate what was originally done in a 3D engineering design program. As I worked on this LEGO model, I realized that the process closely mirrors the steps involved in developing a real-life substation project: 1. **Design the equipment** – Recreating the GIS using LEGO bricks. 2. **Develop the layout** – Selecting the most suitable brick combinations for accurate representation (scaled to a LEGO minifigure). 3. **Civil and structural design** – Building the control room and GIS platform using LEGO bricks. 4. **Procurement and delivery** – Creating a LEGO parts list and sourcing pieces from around the world. 5. **Issue design for construction and coordinate with contractors** – Developing building instructions for different components and ultimately handing them over to the team to assemble the model. A huge thanks to APD Global and the substation design team for making this possible! #APDGlobal #GISSubstation #LEGOtoLife

Check out this GIS LEGO marvel! 🧱 At APD Global, our LEGO models aren’t just for fun—they’re 100% accurate to scale, based on our actual 132kV GIS substation design. The mind-blowing part? The entire real site fits into just 246m²—a tiny footprint for such a powerful piece of infrastructure. Our creative process is simple: we design the real site first, then turn it into LEGO magic! 🚀 Precision, innovation, and a touch of playfulness. (And yes, these limited-edition models have sparked plenty of purchase interest… for the kids or kids at heart of course! 😉) 🔌 #IntegratingInnovation #LEGOtoLife #GISSubstation #APDGlobal"
