Industry Solutions

Utility lines span the country, crisscrossing the landscape and delivering power to millions of Americans in all climates and regions – from cities to suburbs to farms and fields, deserts and marshes and mountains.

By some estimates there are in excess of 150 million utility poles in the United States, carrying hundreds of millions of miles of electrified lines.  For utilities, maintenance, replacement and installations of new lines offer many unique problems and challenges that cannot always be solved using existing methods, architecture or equipment.

Often, successfully overcoming these obstacles requires “outside-the-box” thinking and a willingness to consider non-traditional avenues and options. A perfect example of this is utilities’ desire for a simple, lightweight and cost-effective system for installing utility poles in remote, wilderness, backlot and hard-to-reach areas where access to resources can be difficult.

Composite utility poles offer a high strength, durable, lightweight, maintenance-free solution that makes installation and line design easy. These benefits can help offset the higher upfront cost of composite poles, however longer lifespan, decreased freight and quicker installation contribute to an overall total lower pole ownership cost.  

Duratel constantly strives to exceed industry expectations and continually develops solutions that anticipate the needs of its clients and customers. We provide multiple lighting pole and reinforced support base options. Duratel composites can be used to house wireless antennas and for renewable infrastructures to support solar attachments or as a foundation for wind turbines.
