$35 million lifetime cost saving

Polesaver sleeves are low in cost. They significantly reduce short term maintenance and long term pole replacement costs giving you the lowest cost pole option available with an expected pole life of 50 years or more.
Decay at the critical ground-line section of wooden poles is the largest cause of pole failure and the highest cost for many utilities. Unlike wood preservatives which lose effectiveness over time, proven and tested Polesaver sleeves provide total long term protection making conventional ground-line decay impossible.
Annual Pole Cost (Per 10,000 Poles)
Comparison of annualised pole costs for different pole materials including purchase, installation, inspection and maintenance costs
While wooden poles are a proven and cost-effective means of supporting overhead lines, they are the only “non-engineered” component used in power distribution.
They are made from natural materials and rely on preservatives for protection from decay (partial protection). Over time preservatives lose effectiveness due to leaching and oxidation, ultimately leading to a ground line decay and loss of strength. Combined with variations in ground conditions, it is easy to see why wooden pole life often varies.
These variables mean wooden poles require regular inspection, testing and often replacement as they age.
The use of a Polesaver ground-line sleeves provides a total barrier to the causes of ground-line decay. This barrier maximises pole life while preventing loss of strength over time, ensuring improved safety for staff who climb poles and members of the public.
