WOODEN POLES / PRE STRESSED CONCRETE SPUN POLES

Below are the Benefits of Wooden Poles:

Storage and transportation benefits

Wooden poles have lower transportation and storage costs. When stacked properly, wooden poles need less than half the storage space of steel or concrete poles. Wood also withstands handling and surface damage well. On the other hand, the galvanized coating of a steel pole is very thin and can be easily damaged. Concrete poles don’t bear hits or handling well either.
Wooden poles don’t need any special packaging for transportation. Wood is light and tough, which means that it is easy to haul even in rugged terrains.

Line and foundation requirements

Wood has higher working loads than steel or concrete. This means that fewer wood poles are needed per kilometer, which naturally means lower costs. They are also easy to plant directly into holes in the ground, whereas steel poles need a special concrete foundation and expensive collars or flanges to prevent corrosion.

Elevation at Jobsite

Steel poles must be hoisted by cranes to foundations? fixing bolts. Moreover, concrete poles are also heavier and they need bigger cranes for hoisting. Unlike steel poles, wooden poles don’t need to be earthed because wood does not conduct electricity.

Machineability

It is easy to machine wooden poles according to customers' requirements for markings and pre-drilling.

Installation of cables and accessories

Steel and concrete poles require special attachments for accessories. No special tools are needed for wooden poles because installation is made simply by screws and bolts. Even? A and? H models have been easily constructed on-site and workers also find it easy to climb up wooden poles.

Electrical properties of wood

Wood has good insulating properties and is, therefore, a safer material than steel or concrete. Wooden poles don't require earthing and wood can diminish electric breakdowns and power arcs commonly caused by lightning.

Fire resistance of wood

Creosote-coated poles withstand bush fires without any serious loss of strength. Bush fires usually cause only mild charring to the surface of the poles. Bush fires cause more damage to steel poles. Fires destroy the steel pole's galvanization leaving it prone to rapid corrosion and collapse.

Service life

Wooden poles have a service life of 40-80 years, depending on climate conditions and the pole's individual properties. The service life of a steel pole is 35-50 and it's heavily affected by corrosion which is triggered by:
Acid or saline soil or climate
Scraping, denting, fire
Sand, snow, or dirt blown by the wind

Similarly, the service life of concrete poles depends heavily on climate erosion and the quality of the concrete.

Removal and re-use

Wooden poles are easy to remove and re-use. Steel poles may be re-used only after treatment in a workshop. The re-use of concrete poles is even more complicated.

Environmentally friendly

Our poles come from sustainably managed forests. No other pole material comes from a renewable source. Wooden poles are also easy to recycle.

 

PRE STRESSED CONCRETE SPUN POLES

Oman poles offer a diverse range of pre-stressed spun concrete poles for both 33KV & 132KV overhead transmission Lines and various applications that offers optimum utility, value for money, and are environmentally friendly.
