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
The future for wooden poles
To help keep wooden utility poles a viable, sustainable option, Arxada developed Tanasote®, an oil-based copper wood protection technology. To help distributor network operators in the transition away from creosote, we have developed the white paper – Wood Protection for Utility Poles: the future beyond creosote.
This white paper explores the transition from creosote-treated utility poles. It discusses the current state of wood preservation, examining the efficacy and limitations of existing treatments, plus it assesses the economic and environmental viability of treated wood compared with alternative materials – composite, steel and concrete poles.
