WHY
GFRP POLES ?
MAINTENANCE
There is practically no maintenance to be done, during the entire life of the pole
EASY MOVEMENT
Very easy movement even in rough terrain, since just two personnel can handle one pole
EARTHING
No earthing is required unlike steel poles, due to the entire pole being manufactured using non conductive materials
COLOURS
Large variety of colours possible, to help blend in with the surroundings
LIGHTWEIGHT
Very light, weighing in at less than half the weight of steel poles
CORROSION
RESISTANT
The nature of the material used provides the pole with complete rust-proof capabilities, as well as resistance to high humidity, sea water, acid rain, and more.
ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY
The use of non-conductive materials provides the pole with shockproof capabilities.
TRANSPORTATION COSTS
Very Low, thanks to the lightweight nature of the poles.
HIGH
STRENGTH
High strength and resilience allow the poles to withstand high wind speeds. Failures are negligible
GOOD
AESTHETICS
Environmentally friendly aesthetics help the pole blend well with the landscape
MATERIAL STANDARDS
MATERIALS
We use high strength glass fiber for the manufacture of the composite poles. The Fiberglass used is in compliance with ASTM D2343 & D2344 standards.
BETTER POLYMER MATRIX
The Polymer Matrix used is of a high strength and high flexibility nature. The resin is also designed to be chemically resistant according to IS 6746.
UV PROTECTED
UV Protection lasts the life of the pole and prevents degradation from radiation and weathering effects. This layer of protection is integrated and does not scratch or flake off, offering far superior protection than traditional coatings and surface veils. Our poles are designed for a minimum usage of 50 years.
LABELLING
There are ID labels affixed externally to every pole for identification purposes.
ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY
Our poles never need to be treated or maintained with any chemical additive or coating throughout their long service life. There is no leaching unlike wood poles, which keeps the environment free of hazardous associated preservative chemicals.
LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN
Lightweight Design of GFRP Poles leads to a significant improvement in the number of poles that can be shipped to the customer in a single truckload. This results in fewer trips, less fuel and less emissions
GFRP Support Poles are tested in accordance with
