Creative composite poles are high tech and innovative. Manufactured by centrifugal casting from UV inhibited unsaturated polyester resins selected to suit the environment, glass reinforcement geometry to meet the structural needs and complemented with a polyester non-woven veil to ensure a resin rich finish that provides durability and long life, Creative composite poles offer a modern solution to traditional problems. They are used in places where poles of other materials face serious problems, such as coastal areas where salinity may be detrimental as well as marshlands and areas with high temperature fluctuation. Essentially, Creative Composite Poles are well suited for locations where traditional materials struggle to offer a definite and lasting solution. Unlike steel or aluminum, glassfiber reinforced thermosetting composites are anisotropic by nature. In street furniture, such as Poles and Masts, their anisotropy is used to advantage by ensuring frangible failure, in the event of a road traffic accident, thereby saving lives. In addition, there are no surface treatments as with traditional poles that will leech out into the ground or atmosphere. Composite products are non-polluting, have a long life and can be reused in a different location as if they are brand new. Hence, Creative Composite Poles offer on ecological solution, as well as saving lives.
