Proven Performance

Supporting transmission and distribution lines around the globe for 75 years, Wolmanized® CCA treated utility poles have been exposed to almost every soil and environmental condition imaginable with the same results: long service life, reliability and dependability.

Wood is the ideal material for utility poles. Wood poles are produced from a renewable resource and is resilient and extremely resistant to oxidation, corrosion, fatigue, crumbling and spalling. With CCA preservative, these wood poles are easily and cost-effectively protected against the biological degraders that cause it to weaken and collapse in nature, namely: fungi and termites.

Advantages

• 50-year warranty for Wolmanized wood poles and crossarms.
• Low conductivity provides protection against current leakage and increases the safety of line workers.
• Low corrosivity of hardware with the oxide formulation used in Wolmanized wood utility poles.
• Testing has shown that CCA treatment does not significantly affect bending strength.
• Because of CCA fixation, there is limited migration of preservative. Thus, remedial groundline  treatment is not necessary for aging poles.
• CCA-treated wood utility poles are non-staining to work crews and others who might come in contact with them.
