Our world never ceases to evolve. With the latest and greatest advancements, it only makes sense the energy sector has gone through drastic changes over the years. But some things stand the test of time and perform unfalteringly no matter what.

Yes, we’re talking about the use of wooden poles that are still a preferred choice for overhead electrical lines. There are good reasons behind this enduring preference.

We at Dutco Tennant LLC supply high-quality impregnated wooden poles from Jauda-Koks, who are the experts of these products. We will be accompanied by them for this year’s Middle East Energy (MEE) exhibition 2024 where we’ll showcase innovative energy solutions including their wooden poles.

Starting from 16-18 April 2024 in Hall No.5, Booth No. D10 at Dubai World Trade Centre, visitors will have a groundbreaking experience full of insights and innovation unveiled. But before you make a stop and witness it all, let us give you a quick reveal of what perks you get from wooden poles for electricity lines.

Natural Resilience

Wooden poles stand tall against many damages. Wood, especially treated poles such as our impregnated wooden poles, have natural resilience to moisture, insects and decay.

The poles undergo the impregnation method where it is sealed in a pressure chamber while vacuum is applied. Here, the air as well as the moisture is extracted from the wood cells. Consecutively, the wood goes through pressure treatment with the use of preservatives. 

This method successfully impregnates the full wood cell. This makes them organically resilient against harsh impacts of the environment.

Economical Option

In comparison to other options such as concrete or steel, wooden poles are economical. For each phase of their product cycle, the cost involved is relatively lower than alternative options.

Manufacturing, transporting and even installing them are inexpensive. This cost advantage gives them the upper hand of being a budget-friendly choice for utility companies and ultimately for the consumers.

Ease of Installation and Flexibility

Wooden poles are lightweight. They require half the effort and hassle than the other options such as steel poles. This makes them easy to transport, manoeuvre and install.

Now, just imagine the leverage one can get with such flexibility. Particularly in rural or rugged terrains where heavy-duty machineries for transportation can be a challenge to be moved.

Alternatively, wooden poles can also be replaced and repaired in lesser time than other materials used for electrical lines. This cuts down downtime and also minimises disruption in power supply.

Better Electrical Insulation

Wooden poles are capable of providing natural electrical insulation. This makes them a better choice than others as they reduce the risk of power outages due to lightning strikes or any other power faults.

This attribute of insulation adds an extra layer of safety to the electricity distribution network, protecting both infrastructure and personnel.

But the perks of using wooden poles is not limited to these. They offer much more benefits that still makes them a preferred choice even today. Our partner Jauda-Koks specialises in providing high-quality wooden poles that can further empower power lines.
