Distribution Structures

Canadian distribution poles are mainly made of wood from trees such as Red Pine, Red Cedar and Douglas Fir. These wooden poles have been traditionally treated with a preservative called Pentachlorophenol or Penta, which is classified as a class 2B carcinogen.

The Canadian government's has banned the sale and use of all pentachlorophenol treated wood, including wooden distribution structures, in October of 2023. Without Penta, wooden distribution structures will not be feasible to use and there are no good preservative alternatives either.

T-STAC can offer steel distribution structures as a solution that is much safer than treated wooden poles. The hot-dipped galvanized coating of mostly zinc will not aerosolize into the surrounding air and is also not harmful to human. The sturdier steel distribution structures are more reliable as they can last more than double the lifespan of the wooden poles.

Steel Distribution Poles

Distribution lines carry electricity from substations to residential, commercial, and industrial areas and these lines operate at lower voltages compared to transmission lines to serve localized areas.

T-STAC manufactures high quality steel poles of different steel materials, such as galvanized or weathering steel, to carry distribution lines. Structural design and computer modeling will be done to ensure each pole can be customized to account for differing loading factors. Our strong fabrication experience along with our robust quality control system will produce steel distribution poles that will meet all of our client's requirements and specifications.
