Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / transformers and substations
Swedish term or phrase: uppställningsplatsen
I'm translating a document about transformers in a substation manufacturer, but I can't work out what "uppställningsplats" is referring to. The sentence is "nätstationenstillverkaren ska hålla med miljöriktig uppställningsplats för transformatorer." Thanks!

installation site
Explanation:
Right, a vague term that's used for a wide variety of situations. My suggestion is also vague but gives the same idea 'where the gizmo is going to be located to function.'

If you find more information about whether this installation is freestanding or part of a larger construction, you might think about 'installation location' for the latter.

agree  JaneD: I think this is more likely to be right than "installation site", because from experience the "upställningsplats" is distinguished from the "monteringsplats". But only the OP can say if that's so in this case.

neutral  Deane Goltermann: From the little context given (uppställningsplats för transformatorer), this might be where the transformer is placed within the 'staging area' of a worksite. Was my reading, in any case. Otherwise this was one of my first thoughts.

agree  Leif Ohman: The fact that the manufacturer has an obligation to provide ("ska hålla med") this space points to some sort of temporary space.

Reference information:
"ordinarie uppställningsplats" (in a discussion whether repairs during the life of the station can be done without moving it from "ordinarie uppställningsplats". Does not sound like any kind of staging area):
