StressCrete’s Utility Poles

Something has to change

Energy demand is on the rise in the United States, but is it growing too fast for the infrastructure to keep up with? According to the American Society of Civil Engineers’ annual report card, the United States scored a D+ in its energy sector, indicating a system at risk. Many of the problems lie within our transmission and distribution (T&D) network, where aging materials struggle to withstand severe storms.

This can especially be seen in North Carolina, where the frequency and severity of extreme weather can have life-threatening effects. Updates to the state’s infrastructure should include using a material type designed to withstand the elements and loads required by the most up-to-date codes, standards, and manuals.

StressCrete’s utility poles provide that solution.

With over 70 years of industry experience, StressCrete’s spun concrete poles provide a reliable solution for multiple types of transmission and distribution applications. With lengths of up to 110’, our spun concrete poles are durable and dependable, engineered to provide the exact strength needed for an application, and offering multiple advantages over alternative materials found within the market.

Strength

Our spun concrete poles provide a guaranteed minimum strength that is available in many classes. With an expected 70+ year lifespan, our poles offer a reliable solution that consistently maintains the same strength for years to come.

Engineered to Specifications

Our spun concrete poles are designed to meet your project’s specifications including through holes, threaded inserts, cable entrance covers, and pole steps.

Appearance

Our spun concrete poles provide a clean, crisp look to any project with easy access to a pole’s interior through hand holes and wiring access opening.
