Composite is a new material used for electrical system in recently years. The common composite material structures are used for electrical poles widely for their outstanding advantages.

Composite material structures advantages:
Lightweight – one-third the weight of wood
Non-splintering
Environmentally safe–no chemical preservatives
Impervious to insects, woodpeckers, and weather
Aesthetically pleasing
Easy installation: no special equipment needed
Tight manufacturing tolerances
Stronger, lighter, and longer lasting

Structures has engineered new resin formulations and fiberglass configurations, applied new automated process controls, and added advanced UV inhibitors and coatings for long life in adverse weather conditions.

Fiberglass reinforced composite poles don’t rot, rust, corrode, splinter, or decay. Insects and wildlife won’t eat them, and woodpeckers won’t make holes in them. The composite material structures will maintain its strength throughout its long life.

Manufacturing tolerances for composite material transmission and distribution poles are tight, and stay that way. That means the strength that you install remains constant. Composite poles are ideal for installations where climate, wildlife, and other environmental issues tear into wood poles.

Composite material structures are also very light in weight, making it much easier and simpler to transport them to remote destinations. Composite material structures also can be field drilled or predrilled at the factory for installation of crossarms, brackets, braces, or other attachments.
