StressCrete’s Spun Concrete 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 extreme weather.

This can especially be seen in California, 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.

The historical Vandenberg Air Force wildfire caused extensive damage to the base's infrastructure. StressCrete's spun concrete poles, which had been installed prior to the wildfire, survived the onslaught of flames due to their fire resistant qualities.
