Engineered Wood Structures for The Electric Utility & Telecommunication Industry

Due to the decrease in supply and the volatility of the price of steel, many electric utilities have increased their use of wood products, such as proven glued laminated structures. Laminates are available in almost any required cross section and length and are of sufficient strength to completely interchange with solid sawn. Laminated timbers and poles rely on "second growth" material, which has a more stable price and supply. The Telecommunication industry has found laminated wood poles to be an excellent product to fill their needs for quick lead-time and aesthetic applications.
