Wooden Electric Power Transmission

The use of wooden poles has great advantages over other types of poles, such as reinforced concrete and metal poles, here are some of it:

• The light weight of wood leads to a severe reduction in transport costs and simplifies the installation process;

• The elasticity of wooden poles, gives it the ability to be installed in areas with high wind loads and icing conditions;

• The elasticity of wooden poles also allows you not to be so careful & neat when working with this material, where it is highly necessary, when working with a rather brittle concrete poles;

• The lack of “domino effect” the damage of a single pole is held with neighboring poles that reduces the number of outages on the lines;

• The low cost of wooden poles compared with other types;

• Normative lifetime of concrete poles is around 25 years, on the other hand impregnated wooden poles can serve for 40 years, with an average lifespan between 50-60 years;
