Traction Poles

Electrified Rapid Transit Systems (ERTS) are attracting more and more attention from Municipalities and Transit Authorities. As the cost of fuel rises and environmental concerns become more critical, ERTS offer an appealing and viable alternative to congested highways and smog.
 
The physical properties inherent in a spun concrete pole ensure its consideration for any type of overhead electrical system. Trains, street cars and trolley buses all require support systems with minimal deflection and maximum aesthetic appeal. Spun concrete poles supply all this plus low initial cost, the installation savings of direct burial (baseplate poles are available), long life and zero maintenance. Spun concrete can readily be adapted to meet any specification whether single/double arms or catenary.
