LINE AND POLE DESIGN
We are pleased to help our clients in overhead line and even single pole/tower design whenever needed, utilising the experience gained by IVO Power Engineering engineering of transmission and distribution networks. Their experience has been gathered from projects in more than 60 countries in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

WOODEN POLES vs. CONCRETE AND STEEL POLES
Most countries in Western Europe, North America, the Middle East and Africa use wooden poles for overhead power and telecommunication lines. The main reason is the economy both in the short and in the long term.

When comparing the total costs, which include material, transport, erection and maintenance, with a sufficient service life, the costs of wooden poles have proved to equal 50- 75% of those of concrete or steel structures. Exceptions to this are cases in which there is a demand for a very high clearance or a very long span with heavy loads.

If there is a need to remove an erected line later for some reason, wooden poles are easy to lift, transport and reinstall, as they are lighter and more shock-resistant than concrete poles and need no foundations, either.
