Why “Pre-compressed poles”

The concept of pre-compressed concrete pole is based upon the most sophisticated theory of constructive sciences, as well as on the use of advanced production technology. If we compare the characteristics of pre-compressed concrete poles with those of more traditional products such as wooden Poles, iron Poles or old-fashioned vibrated concrete poles, several important advantages emerge.

The pre-compressed concrete pole derives conceptually directly from the most advanced constructive sciences. The technology of “pre-compression” permits to sort out structural problems until now unsolved by the means of traditional techniques. Practically this new technology increases significantly the mechanic resistance allowing in the meantime a reduction in terms of size and weight. The pre-tensioned iron wires in fact, while generating inner forces, compensate outer forces, therefore increasing dramatically both strength and relative flexibility.

These characteristics are as follows:

• Long duration

• Easy and fast set-up

• Extremely profitable cost/quality ratio

• Environmental respect

• High mechanical as well as physical quality.

• High resistance to chemical,

physical and environmental agents.

• Highly reproducible qualitative standards on all products.
