Electrical Infrastructure Castings

Non-Ferrous Sand Cast Components for Power Distribution and Electrical Equipment


Riverside Foundry produces non-ferrous sand castings used in electrical infrastructure, power distribution equipment, and industrial electrical systems across North America.

Cast Components Used in Electrical Infrastructure

Electrical infrastructure systems rely on durable components designed to support power distribution and equipment operations.

Components used in electrical equipment must maintain dimensional stability, conductivity where required, and consistent performance for continuous use.

Non-ferrous alloys are often specified in these applications due to their corrosion resistance, strength, and suitability for electrical and mechanical components.

Riverside supports production programs that supply cast components for electrical equipment and infrastructure systems.

Typical Components Produced for Electrical Infrastructure

Examples of cast components used in electrical infrastructure may include:

  • electrical housings
  • clamp bodies
  • terminal caps
  • grippers
  • grounding screws
  • support Studs
  • ground rod handles
  • junction box enclosures
  • transformer components
  • switchgear housings
  • bus bar supports
  • grounding components
  • brackets and mounting hardware
  • mechanical housings
  • equipment covers and frames

These components are typically integrated into assemblies used in power distribution systems and industrial electrical equipment.

Many of these parts are produced using copper-based brass and bronze alloys selected for corrosion resistance, strength, and electrical performance where required.

Production Capabilities Supporting Electrical Infrastructure Castings

Electrical system components often require repeatable production and dimensional consistency across long manufacturing runs.

Riverside supports these requirements through:

  • automated green sand molding for repeat production programs
  • airset molding when casting size or geometry exceeds matchplate limits
  • in-house tooling and patternmaking to support controlled production programs

These capabilities allow casting programs to maintain consistent quality while supporting long-term electrical infrastructure supply chains.

Supporting Equipment Manufacturers and Infrastructure Suppliers

Riverside works with equipment manufacturers supplying components used in:

  • power distribution systems
  • electrical infrastructure
  • transformer and switchgear equipment
  • industrial electrical systems
  • grounding and connection systems
  • mechanical support structures
  • And more…
