Our wooden treated poles are prepared in terms of the SANS 754/753 mark scheme. All our wooden poles are currently of South African origin. The following species are found in South Africa and are used for transmission-, telecoms-, agricultural-, building- and fencing poles application:

All transmission and telephone poles are tested according to the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) specification to withstand a fibre stress (in bending) of 55MPa (or 75 MPa so if required).The average moisture content may not exceed 25% and in the individual pole exceed 28% at the time of treatment. The preservative may be creosote or CCA that complies with the SABS specifications. Retention of creosote is a minimum of 115kg/m³ for Eucalyptus species. The minimum depth of solid penetration depends on the hazard class and is 15mm for poles in direct contact with the ground.
