Extending the useful life of creosoted electricity distribution poles in service

IRG/WP 93-50001-16

D J Dickinson, B Calver

Creosoted transmission poles have provided good service over many decades in a whole range of environments. The use of save biocides for secondary treatments has the potential to extend the life of such poles. These techniques, together with a full understanding of the modes of failure, make it possible to establish new strategies to further improve the environmental benefits of treated wooden poles.
