Product Applications
RS composite poles are utilized across a spectrum of applications such as transmission, distribution, substation, and communication. They serve critical roles in hardening grid infrastructure and enhancing resilience against natural disasters. These poles are also deployed in environmentally sensitive areas due to their non-leaching properties, making them suitable for regions requiring reliable power delivery and minimal environmental impact.
Product Features
RS composite poles offer significant advantages over traditional materials like wood, steel, and concrete. They are non-conductive, do not support combustion, and demonstrate near-perfect performance in harsh conditions, including hurricanes, ice storms, and wildfires. These poles boast an 80-year no scheduled maintenance service life, are lightweight, and can be installed without heavy equipment, making them ideal for remote and critical installations.
Global Reach
RS Technologies has a global footprint, with their composite poles being installed for over 450 customers in 28 countries. This widespread adoption highlights the reliability and performance of RS composite poles in varied environmental and operational conditions. Their usage spans from supporting high-value equipment in critical applications to ensuring consistent power delivery in remote and weather-prone areas.
