Based on a transformer station project, this paper conducts the design and analysis of retaining structures for transformer stations in hilly areas. According to the geological conditions and soil-rock properties combined with in-situ experiments and laboratory tests, the design parameters of the slope were obtained. The type of the retaining wall was calculated by using the arc sliding method, and the construction and monitoring of the slope project were elaborated. Meanwhile, an detailed and comprehensive discussion was conducted on the retaining methods in the construction of substations in hilly areas. The types of retaining structures adopted for slope supporting were summarized to provide reference and guidance for the design of transformer stations in backfill areas.
