Using steel poles for transmission lines offers several advantages over wooden or concrete poles. Here are some of the key benefits of using steel poles: 1. Strength and Durability: - Steel poles are extremely strong and have a high strength-to-weight ratio compared to wooden or concrete poles. - Steel poles can withstand higher wind loads, ice loads, and other environmen...
For power utilities battling corrosion in coastal, industrial, and high-humidity zones, breakthroughs in hot-dip galvanizing (HDG) technology now enable 33kV steel transmission poles to achieve 50+ year lifespans – slashing replacement costs by 300% versus traditional methods. Here’s the science making this possible: The Corrosion Challenge in Energy Infrastructure ...
