What does RS technologies do?

RS Technologies Inc. is a customer and technology driven company that designs, engineers and manufactures composite utility poles.

What is composite utility pole?

Composite Tuff-Poles stay strong. Fiberglass reinforced composite poles never rust or splinter. Unlike wood poles, Insects and wildlife won’t eat them and woodpeckers won’t make holes in them. The Tuff-Pole transmission and distribution pole will maintain its original strength throughout its long life.

What is FRP pole?

“Satyam” Make Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite pole are Corrosion Resistance, Lightweight, highly reliable and long Service Life.

How long do wood poles last?

Wood poles offer an opportunity for atmospheric carbon sequestration not provided by other materials. An Electric Power Research Institute study suggested that wood poles lasted 50 years. Most utilities assume that their poles provide 30 to 40 years of service life.

What is full form of FRP?

Fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP; also called fibre-reinforced polymer, or in American English fiber) is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres. The fibres are usually glass (in fibreglass), carbon (in carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer), aramid, or basalt.

What is the black stuff on power poles?

The utility or telephone poles coated with a dark brown or oily substance –penta or creosote– give off a petroleum odor. Other poles appear lighter, sometimes greenish, in color with no odor. These are treated with arsenicals.

Which pole has longer life?

poles are used in 11 KV and 400/230 volt system to a large scale, apart from this, we also use PCC poles in 33KV H.T. Line. This type of poles is costlier than a wooden pole but cheaper than a steel pole. This kind of poles has a longer life, and the maintenance cost is negligible.

What is FRP price?

FRP is the price declared by the government, which mills are legally bound to pay to farmers for the cane procured from them. The payment of FRP across the country is governed by The Sugarcane Control order, 1966 which mandates payment within 14 days of the date of delivery of the cane.

Do they still use creosote on telephone poles?

Once widely used for poles, creosote is now primarily used for railroad ties, except in Texas and Louisiana where creosote is still commonly used for utility poles. Creosote is a robust preservative, but utilities generally prefer penta or CCA poles due to cost and environmental considerations.

Why are telephone poles oiled?

Photo by Jeremy Brooks Wooden utility poles are often treated with pentachlorophenol or PCP to protect them against fungi and termites. Exposure to PCP can cause reproductive and developmental problems, damage the immune system, and even cancer.

What type of wood is a telephone pole?

For Tree Farmers, utility poles have the potential to provide an excellent return on investment. Southern yellow pines and Douglas fir are the most popular trees due to their size, but Northeastern red pine, Western red cedar and other softwoods that grow tall and straight are also used.

What are the disadvantages of steel poles?

Disadvantages Of Steel Utility Poles Steel is subject to the corrosive effects of chemicals and pollution. Early in the manufacturing of steel utility poles the metallurgical processes produced a type of steel that was resistant to corrosion.

How long will telephone poles last in the ground?

Many utility poles are several decades old Most power poles are much older than their useful life expectancy, which is likely somewhere around 50 to 60 years. But some of them are much older. Metal and concrete poles can last much longer than wood, but eventually all utility poles need to be replaced.

Who approved FRP?

Keeping in view interest of sugarcane farmers (GannaKisan), the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs chaired by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP) of sugarcane for sugar season 2021-22 (October – September) at Rs.

What is the difference between MSP and FRP?

FRP is the minimum price at which sugarcane is to be purchased by sugar mills from farmers. MSP is a “minimum price” for any crop that the government considers as remunerative for farmers and hence deserving of “support”. It is also the price that government agencies pay whenever they procure the particular crop.
