2. Comparison
Weight About 20-25 % that of Steel About 4 to 5 times heavier than FRP/GRP
Rusting No Rusting
Even after Powder Coating or Galvanising,
Rusting can occur from inside
Safety/Handling
Safe and easy handling and installation being
light weight, can be easily handled by a person
or two
Being very heavy, needs Lifting Machines; If
Manpower is employed, chances of injury
while handling/installation
Service Life
Very long, 20-25 years approximately,
Maintenance Free Life
Quite short, 5-7 years approx, even less in
Saline/Acidic environment, added costing
incurred in Maintenance
Maintenance Completely Maintenance Free Needs periodical Re-coating/Re-furbishing
Surface Finish
Smooth and homogeneous, not dependent on
Temperature Changes
Coating falls off after some time, highly
dependent on Temperature Changes
FRP/GRP Composite Poles Metal/Steel Poles
Insulation
Completely Non-conductive, hence Electric
Shock-proof and Safe
Conductive, hence Shock-prone and Unsafe
Wind Resistance
Can withstand Wind Speed up to 200 KM/HR,
being light weight
Prone to get uprooted during Cyclones given
its heavy weight
Corrosion Resistance
Completely Non-corrosive, can be used in
harsh environments and locations
Highly prone to corrosion, especially in
Harsh/Saline/Chemicalised/Acidic
environments
Bendability
Can withstand Stability even after bending up
to 25 to 30 Degree
Can be bent but compromising on Stability,
and hence overall life
Vehicle Impact Can break, person in the Vehicle can be Safe
Can damage the Vehicle and can injure the
person in the Vehicle
Effective Costing
Quite economical, given its Maintenance Free
and longer Service Life
Quite high, given its high Maintenance and
lower Service Life
3. Centrifugal Casting is a Production Technology used to make Composite Poles using Fiberglass, in the shape of a
Truncated Cone with length up to 10 Metres.
The Pole is formed by inserting the Re-inforced Fiberglass, in a specific Rotating Mould that has a Truncated Cone
cavity. Due to centrifugal force, the Fiberglass adheres to the walls of the Mould and takes its shape.
The Matrix (Resin) inside the Mould is impregnated with Fiberglass due to the rapid rotation of the Mould
(Centrifugal Casting), and gets hardened by polymerising when it comes in contact with the heated Mould.
The Poles thus produced by Centrifugal Casting, have consistent thickness due to controlled distribution of the
reinforcement inside the Mould. This way, tapered Poles are obtained without increasing the thickness and thus
weight, over its entire length.
This technology makes it possible to manufacture Products with a high degree of dimensional precision and
Physio-Mechanical repeatability.
