Transmission poles are among an electrical utility’s largest and most important commercial assets. However, once the corrosion of a galvanized transmission pole occurs, it advances quickly.

Frog Cables’ proven protection for power transmission.

More critically, as the corrosion of the pole accelerates, so too can the cost of time, labour, and materials required. Wooden poles are widely used for the support of power transmission lines in rural areas in Zimbabwe. In urban areas new subdivision all have underground power reticulation and existing overhead networks are also gradually being placed underground. The need for poles to support telephone lines has virtually disappeared with the change in technology to microwave transmission and cell phones. For 240V lines, poles of 8 to 10 m length are normally specified while for 11kV lines, poles of 12 to 15 m length are required. For higher voltages steel lattice towers are normally used. There is also a vigorous trade in poles for power reticulation in neighbouring countries, such as Mozambique, Botswana, Zambia, Namibia and South Africa.
