Steel Distribution Poles

Steel Distribution Poles

The advantage of steel distribution poles

Safety

The steel structures do not require a full length copper grounding wire. They are self conducting for grounding purposes. Provisions for grounding are provided on each pole and pre-drilling for removable safety steps is available.

Weight

Weighing approximately 50-70% less than comparable wood structures, the steel poles are easier and less expensive to handle and install.

Flexibility

Poles can be provided either for embedded or anchor base installations, which reduces your application limitations. Steel poles can be custom designed and fabricated to support larger and heavier loadings with longer spans as well as being able to meet greater height requirements. More options can mean fewer poles to purchase and install.

Easy-to-Use

The poles can be pre-drilled to accommodate special customer framing requirements and most existing hardware can easily be used on steel structures.

Uniformity

Constant taper without twists, knots, splits, or bows provide uniform diameters every time. Steel also has uniform material strength throughout the entire structure providing consistent and predictable results.

Corrosion Protection

A variety of finishes are available with steel: galvanized, paint over galvanized (powder coat or liquid), dulled and darkened galvanizing with below grade coatings. Ground sleeves are available if additional protection is required.

Environmental

Steel poles are an answer to EPA regulations and deforestation issues. The poles are non-toxic, which reduce disposal problems or costs and they can be reused or recycled.

Maintenance

After installing steel poles, you do not have to re-tighten hardware later due to pole shrinkage. Steel retains its shape and strength and isn’t susceptible to damage by woodpeckers, insects, rot, or fires. There is no expensive inspection and toxic treatment programs necessary after the installation of steel poles.

Procurement

Lead time is short and predictable with steel poles and there are no costly pre-shipment inspections. Allows a faster return on investment as lines can be erected fast and be in service quickly. The speed with which steel poles can be erected also means enormous cost of labor savings.
