WOODEN POLES : KEEPING THE LINES UP
Utility Poles consist of wooden poles used to support overhead power lines and various other public utilities, such as cables, fibre optic cables, and related equipment such as transformers and streetlights. "Electrical cable is routed overhead on utility poles as an inexpensive way to keep it insulated from the ground and out of the way of people and vehicles."
R&B Timber Group has collected information to provide an understanding of the advantages of wooden utility poles:
