8 Advantages of Utility Poles You Want to Know
Galvanized steel utility poles(also referred to as electrical poles, power poles, telephone poles, transmission poles, and telecommunications poles) are a type of support pole widely used in the electrical and communications fields. Used to overhead lines and installing other pole-line hardware.
Next, we will discuss the 8 benefits of galvanized steel utility poles.
Benefits of Utility Poles
1. Corrosion Resistance
The corrosion resistance of telephone poles is primarily due to the galvanized layer on their surface, which can prevent oxygen and moisture in the air. When the galvanized layer is partially damaged, zinc and iron form a galvanic cell, zinc is oxidized as the anode, and steel is protected as the cathode. This phenomenon is called “sacrificial anode protection”, but you also need to maintain it in time to prevent and avoid contact of corrosive materials with galvanized steel utility pole foundations.
2. Easy to Install
Utility poles are 30% lighter than wooden poles, making them easier to transport and install. A crane can easily lift 4 to 5 poles. They can be customized according to your needs, including length, diameter, etc. This flexibility enables the utility poles to adapt to different terrains and installation requirements. Provide convenience for your installation.
3. Easy Maintenance
The zinc coating on the surface of galvanized steel utility poles is easy to inspect and maintain. The corrosion resistance makes the service life of a utility pole about 80 years, and the maintenance is very rare. If you find that the zinc coating is damaged or locally corroded, it can be repaired in time.
4. Safety
Galvanized steel utility poles have high strength and stability, can withstand large wind and tension, and protect the stable transmission of cables. In the installation process, as long as the installation is carried out in accordance with the specifications, the stability of the utility poles can be effectively guaranteed, and the occurrence of safety hazards and maintenance costs can be effectively reduced.
5. Low cost
Galvanized steel utility poles are lightweight, easy to transport, and have a simple installation process, so the transportation and installation costs are low. They have a long service life, and the number of repairs and replacements is lower, so the maintenance cost is low.
6. Environment
The galvanized steel utility poles are applicable to various environments such as plains, mountains, hills, and seaside, and each environment can ensure stable transmission of power/signals.
7. Sustainability(100% recyclability)
Telephone poles are made of galvanized steel, no need to add preservatives or other chemicals, and no pollution to the environment. 100% recyclable at the end of its service life, it achieves sustainable development.
8. Beautiful appearance
The surface of galvanized steel utility poles is smooth and flat, the appearance is neat, bubble-free, and full of a modern feeling.
Summarize
Galvanized steel utility poles rely on corrosion-resistant, easy to install, easy to maintain, and safe features etc. Widely used in line construction.
