Better Materials & Manufacturing
Unsurpassed durability is inherent in concrete. When that same concrete is then put through our industry-leading manufacturing process, it becomes some of the densest, least permeable, strongest man-made concrete in the world. Here’s how we do it.
Steel strands
High strength prestressing steel strands are wrapped with spiral wire, and are locked into tension plates at each end of the mold.
High-Strength Concrete
The specially formulated, high-strength concrete is placed into the mold.
Securing the Mold
The mold is bolted closed, the strand is prestressed, and the mold is spun at a high rate. The centrifugal force generated from spinning compresses the concrete against the mold.
Strength-to-Weight Ratio
The finished pole has a hollow center. This provides a lower weight and an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio.
