When it comes to utility poles, you’re looking for strength, flexibility, and durability. That’s what you’ll find in uPoles.
This is all achieved through the use of sand. An epoxy resin is used to build hoop and axial strength. This is reinforced using a sand filled polymer mortar core, which is in turn coated with a UV resistant resin embedded with a fine layer of sand, to give the pole its distinct improved durability and resistance to the elements compared to utility poles made from more traditional materials.
So what makes composite poles so great?
Strength and durability |
||
Due to their bamboo-like interior design, they’re capable of bending without breaking, allowing them to handle heavy impacts and extreme weather conditions. |
||
They’re lighter and safer |
||
Due to being incredibly light by comparison (less than ⅔ the weight of wood), the composite materials each pole is made from make them both easily portable and easy to set up (which your health and safety team can only be happy about!) |
||
They’re resistant to degradation |
||
Composite poles eliminate maintenance costs due to environmental factors such as rot, rust, salt water damage, termite infestations, or damage from strong winds. |
||
Fire safety |
||
The materials composite poles are made out of are highly resistant to both fire and electrical damage, withstanding heat tests and significant voltage. |
||
In addition to the above, utility poles made from composite materials are a highly environmentally friendly option. uPoles contain no toxic substances, making them both re-use and landfill safe.
