Why wouldn't you just repair the damaged ones? It's much quicker.

Well depending on the damage you aren’t going to be able to repair them on site step 3 and 6 being very important quote from article
Production. The typical manufacturing process of an LPT consists of the following steps:
-
Engineering and design: LPT design is complex, balancing the costs of raw materials (copper, steel, and cooling oil), electrical losses, manufacturing labor hours, plant capability constraints, and shipping constraints.
-
Core building: The core is the most critical component of an LPT, which requires a highly-trained and skilled workforce and cold-rolled, grain-oriented (CRGO) laminated electrical steel.
-
Windings production and assembly of the core and windings: Windings are predominantly copper and have an insulating material.
-
Drying operations: Excess moisture must be removed from the core and windings because moisture can degrade the dielectric strength of the insulation.
-
Tank production: A tank must be completed before the winding and core assembly finish the drying phase so that the core and windings do not start to reabsorb moisture.
-
Final assembly of the LPT: The final assembly must be done in a clean environment; even a tiny amount of dust or moisture can deteriorate the performance of an LPT.
-
Testing: Testing is performed to ensure the accuracy of voltage ratios, verify power ratings, and determine electrical impedances.
