Utility Poles, also known as transmission poles, support overhead power lines and various other public utilities, such as cable, fibre optic cable, and related equipment such as transformers and street lights. It can be referred to as a transmission pole, telephone pole, telecommunication pole, power pole, hydro pole, telegraph pole, or telegraph post, depending on its application.

R&B Group specializes in the manufacturing, large scale order and export of utility poles throughout Africa, and globally. Our easy access to the harbors of the South African East coast make shipping them to any destination simple.

All timber utility poles, need to be treated using a creosote or CCA process in order for them to be protected from pest, insects and fungi infestations. Timber that is in contact with the ground such as the utility pole itself, will need to be H4 treated, while the cross arms will require a H3 treatment. The lesser treatment is due to there being no ground contact. All R&B Group utility poles come in the following popular sizes: Length 8m - 18m. Top Diameter: 120mm - 240mm.

Other specifications are available on request.

All R&B Group utility poles are manufactured under ISO9001 certification & to the stringent SABS 754 quality controls. As a customer you can be assured of our quality.
