INTRODUCTION

A wood pole is a long, slender piece of wood that is used to support structures or objects. They are often used in place of metal poles, as they are a renewable resource and do not rust. Wood poles can be made from a variety of different types of wood, depending on their intended use.

Wooden pole means the stem of a tree which has the proper natural characteristics to meet the engineering and design standards to support a utility line; and has been harvested, shaped, treated, and certified to meet that need. Despite storm damage, wooden poles remain popular with utility companies because they are affordable, lighter and easier to transport than steel or concrete poles, they don't rust, are easy to climb and are non-conductive, which makes them safer for utility workers.

Most utility poles are made of wood, pressure-treated with some type of preservative for protection against rot, fungi and insects.

Longevity and durability are essential requirements for utility poles. As a natural material, wood poles exposed to the outdoors face significant threats from predators such as mould, decay fungi and insects like termites and wood borers. These organisms seek to break down the wood fiber, reducing the structural soundness and serviceability of the wood.

Preservative treating creates a chemical barrier that protects wood poles from these threats, allowing them to remain in service for decades.

The preservatives are not just on the surface, they are infused deep into the wood to provide long-lasting protection. As a result, the service life of a wood pole can be extended to as long as 70 years or more.

The treating process utilizes pressure that forces the preservatives into the wood fiber. While there are a variety of preservatives used today, the manufacturing process is virtually the same for all.

Getting the best pole starts in the woods. Poles are typically made from three species: Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar and Southern Pine. Logs that have the potential to become wood poles are selected in the forest, often while the trees are still standing.
