PRESTRESSED CONCRETE ELECTRIC POLES

The demand for Prestressed (Pre-cast/Reinforced) concrete-cement (PCC) poles directly depends
on the growth of electric power sector. Because these poles are solely meant for overhead
transmission and distribution of power to consumer units. The growth in generation and suppy of
electric energy gives rise to demands for PCC poles & other systems by way of OEM &
replacement/renovation demands. As the electricuty generation increases, there will be the need to
expand & re-strengthen the distribution net work. This new challenge will call for fresh
supplies for transmission towers, PCC poles & other materials. India is a developing country
where availability of infrastrural facilities is of paramount importance for rapid development
of national economy & general status. A large net work of electricity distribution for rural
electrifications, agricultural & irrigational consumptions can be catered to only by establishing an
efficient generation & distribution standards. Electrical transmission towers, steel poles and PCC
poles serve the base for over head power transmission & distribution. All the existing transmission
grids are either in a bad condition or inefficient. These networks require renovation. Their energy
carrying capacities can't be increased unless & until those are replaced by a new transmission line.
Then, there is the need to reach electrical light/power to all those areas where presently this
facility is missing. All there factors are essentially going to raise the demand for not only
electrical equipments but also distribution materials including poles.

PRESTRESSED CONCRETE ELECTRIC POLES (EIRI-1054)

P.C.C. Poles are essentially made of concrete which are inevitably less costly and more
economically maintainable than the conventional steel poles. They are of two types depending
upon the end use of the pole-Low tensile and High Tensile Line. The latter is primarily used for
transmission of electricity. Prestress Cement Concrete Poles are essentially made of concrete.
High tensile wire is inserted into the pre-designed moulds and stretched to reach a certain tension.
Galvanised wire is fixed inside the mould for earthing following which a right proportion of
concrete mix is poured. Then, the concrete is compacted through vibration to produce high
strength concrete poles. After 72 hours, the tension is released and demoulding done. The poles are
put under water sprinkler system for a period of 28 days. (Concrete cubes are tested to ascertain the
strength before they are offered for inspection.)
