Did you know there are more than 5.3 million wooden utility poles in use in Australia with the majority made from beautiful Australian hardwood timbers such as Spotted Gum, Ironbark, Blackbutt, Grey Box, Tallow Wood and Blood Wood.🌳🌳🌳 These timbers are increasingly becoming hard to find in length and quantity, but timber utility poles also pose a risk to networks and communities from what you can't see. ⚠ Check out this timber utility pole recently removed from the network which is in an advanced stage of decomposition owing to termite infestation. 🐜🐜 Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Utility Poles are resistant to termites, acid sulfate soils and are non leaching. They are also: ✔️Non-conductive, so significantly reduced risk of shock or electrocution ✔️Lightweight = safer to handle, transport and install ✔️Durable, with an expected 80-year design life ✔️Inert, so will not rust, rot or corrode ✔️and Environmentally friendly & sustainable using 5-7 times less embodied carbon So for a more durable, safer and environmentally friendly utility pole think Wagners CFT!
