Proactive wildfire mitigation strategies - such as risk mapping, vegetation management, and fire-resistant materials like Polesaver Blaze-Guard™ - are essential to safeguarding critical infrastructure. By investing in these solutions, utility companies can reduce their vulnerability to wildfires, protect their assets, and ensure the continuous provision of power and services when communities need them most.
Investing in long life cycle assets in the energy sector represents a forward-looking strategy that aligns with global trends in sustainability, decarbonisation, and infrastructure modernisation.
With the broader industry trends towards environmental responsibility, longevity and sustainability, Polesaver’s commitment to combining performance with minimal environmental impact makes it a valuable player in the evolving landscape of wood preservatives.
The balance between overhead and underground cables continues to be a topic of discussion as we strive for an efficient and sustainable electricity distribution network.
Community energy projects have the potential to revolutionise the way we produce and consume energy by putting power literally into the hands of the people.
After 200 years, most utility poles worldwide are still made from wood. They blend into the landscape much better than the industrial looking alternatives. Made from a renewable resource, they are durable, recyclable and have a lower carbon footprint than any of the alternative materials.
The integration of predictive analytics and machine learning into grid management is a game-changer for the energy sector. These technologies enable utilities to anticipate and mitigate potential issues, optimise operations, and enhance overall grid reliability. As they continue to evolve, their impact on grid reliability and performance is set to grow, paving the way for a more resilient and efficient energy future.
The utility pole market is evolving rapidly, with an increasing emphasis on sustainability and performance. It is imperative to recognise the inherent advantages of wood and take proactive steps to ensure its continued relevance in the global pole market.
In an era defined by reliability and sustainability, Polesaver offers a market leading protection product which is compatible with all preservatives and upholds high service standards for decades.
The energy landscape in the United States is evolving rapidly, and with the Grid Resilience and Innovations Partnership (GRIP) funding now in the final stages, it’s the perfect time for energy companies to embrace innovative solutions like Polesaver.
When it comes to understanding the performance of preservatives it’s vital to employ accelerated and real-world testing methods. By integrating these two approaches, we can harness the strengths of both to provide deeper insights and more reliable predictions.
In a critical juncture for some of the South American pole industry, the traditional reliance on wooden utility poles faces increasing challenges. A transformative shift towards innovative solutions has the potential not only to meet utility demands but also to establish wood as the unparalleled material choice, revitalising the market for wooden power and telecom poles.
A transformative shift towards championing innovative solutions that not only meet the demands of utilities but also solidifies wood as the unparalleled material choice holds the power to not just revitalise the market for wooden power and telecom poles, but to forge a pathway towards a sustainable, resilient, and eco-friendly infrastructure.
A major utility has recently specified the use of Polesaver sleeves to provide protection on its wooden utility poles. The utility based in Europe has traditionally used wooden poles treated with creosote wood preservative. Following the recent re-classification of Creosote by the European Commission as a class 1b carcinogen by the European Commission many European utilities are now looking at safe alternatives to creosote treatment...
Polesaver manufactures and supplies guaranteed products that are proven to maximise utility pole lifespan. With millions of Rot-Guard™ sleeves supplied to date, our patented ground-line barrier sleeves have been proven in volume use since 1994.
*Polesaver uses long term independent test data on the effectiveness of barrier sleeves and fire protection fabric to reach all the conclusions given on this website (test data available on request). Based on this data, Polesaver believes longer life, maintenance of strength over time, improved safety and reliability, extended inspection periods and reduced maintenance requirements are reasonable claims. This is subject to Polesaver products being correctly applied as per our instructions and used on correctly preservative treated (for long term in-ground use - Use Class 4 or higher) wooden utility poles that are free of decay at the time of sleeve application. The claims made, real or implied are not warranties. It is the responsibility of the user to evaluate and satisfy themselves that the performance of the product meets their specific safety, reliability, extended inspection, repair and any other performance or cost-benefit criteria before using Polesaver sleeves or fire protection fabric.
