Utility poles

A cleaner future for overground networks, is one where natural, renewable materials are utilised, less energy is used for manufacture and installation, and waste is minimised.

Using Tanasote® treated poles will provide peace of mind by:

•       Contributing to a circular economy vision

•       Driving decarbonization

•       Providing attractive lifetime cost

 

Tanasote® the modern alternative to creosote

Long service life

  • 40 years (dependent on timber species).
  • Minimized risk of early failures - Tanasote® co-biocides selected to significantly reduce risk of failure due to aggressive fungi.
  • Predictable maintenance (like creosote).

Installer friendly

  • Climbing spikes can easily penetrate into the surface, allowing safer working on poles.
  • Holes easily drilled to fit the exact hardware needs and requirements.
  • Compared with other materials, Tanasote® treated poles are comparably light and easier to transport.

The more sustainable choice

  • Tanasote® treated poles act as a carbon store for their entire life.
  • At end-of-life poles treated with Tanasote® can be sold as re-used wood, helping to minimize waste and providing recovery benefits.
  • Favorable life cycle analysis.
