UTILITY POLES

This product category covers two main uses of poles namely: Telephone poles for overhead telecommunication lines and, Transmission poles for overhead power lines.

TELEPHONE POLES

Telephone poles are made according to SABS 753 unless otherwise specified. Normally poles of 6.0m to 9.0m in length, of lighter diameter in size are used and are prepared to customer requirements prior to treatment. Poles can be pre-drilled gained and labelled as required.

TRANSMISSION POLES

Transmission poles are prepared according to SABS 753 or any other specification as required by the customer. Poles of up to 22m can be produced. Diameters are determined by strength class required. In South Africa this is determined by the top diameter, but when compared with international specifications the Theoretical Ground Line usually determines the strength class, and top diameters are adjusted depending on the average taper of the pole. Woodline's clients have the assurance that poles are manufactured according to their exacting specifications.
