Polesaver has released a new white paper, “Building Resilient Networks: Protecting Wooden Infrastructure for a Net-Zero Future,” offering Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) an evidence-based review of options for maintaining the long-term performance of wooden distribution poles as regulatory and environmental requirements continue to change.
The report examines the implications of the accelerating phase-out of creosote and other legacy wood preservatives, alongside increasing pressure on DNOs to enhance network resilience, reduce lifecycle carbon and demonstrate compliance with evolving environmental standards. It brings together long-term field data, decay risk factors and asset-management considerations relevant to the ongoing use of wooden poles across European distribution networks.
“DNOs are having to balance resilience, environmental responsibility and regulatory compliance at a pace not seen before.

The focus is on giving DNOs practical, factual information to support asset decision-making.” said Simon McArt, Polesaver Global Sales Manager.
