Steel poles are an aesthetic alternative to traditional towers and offer far greater corrosion resilience due to the self-cleaning nature of a tapered structure. Steel poles can be designed for use to be installed in lieu of towers without needing to compromise on height and span lengths and offer the advantages of a much smaller easement and greater public acceptance.
Many pole manufacturers are limited in the structure lengths they can produce. Longer spans enable line designers to minimise the use of structures and maximise spans to match the limits of the conductor being used. Spacing can be achieved without consideration of pole strength and INGAL EPS can design a pole to meet any loading requirement you have as the conductor strength will always be the limiting factor.
Working with load trees or ultimate tip loads, we can offer optimised structures that conform to all AS/NZS standards and/or ASCE 48-11, and because of the tapered design of our poles and the grade of material used in our designs, INGAL EPS steel poles are invariably the lightest pole structures available for any transmission line.
