Shemar High Strength Braced Line Post and Insulated Cross-arms (CICA)

Shemar High Strength Braced Line Post and Insulated Cross-arms (CICA)

Braced line posts have enabled compact transmission lines in the voltage range of 115 kV to 230 kV. Now line compaction is being considered at progressively higher voltages (EHV range) to develop structures with better visual amenities, smaller foot print, narrow right-of-way requirements and the economic benefits of lighter construction.

However, at 345 kV and above voltages as the section lengths increase due to electrical requirements, the mechanical capabilities of standard braced line posts with typical components becomes a limitation. The low working performance restricts span lengths and increase overall project cost and construction efforts.

Shemar Braced Line Post Insulators

Shemar Braced Line Post Insulators

The simplest insulator system for compact transmission line construction is a composite horizontal line post. However, line post insulators are limited in their vertical loading capabilities and thus cannot support longer spans or heavier conductor systems. Composite braced line posts are designed for applications similar to a line post but with an added suspension 'brace' insulator to significantly increase the vertical load capacity of the assembly.

S211 - Forced Labour in Canadian Supply Chains

S211 - Forced Labour in Canadian Supply Chains

Public Safety Canada has implemented a new measure aimed at combating child labour and forced labour in Canadian supply chains. This measure is expected to affect most of the manufacturers represented by Composite Power Group in Canada.

The companies are expected to comply with the new requirements by May 31st, 2024. Canadian customers are likely to include compliance-related requirements in their project bid packages.

Therefore, we want to ensure that each manufacturer represented by Composite Power Group is well-positioned long before the deadline.

The Penta Ban - what’s next?

The Penta Ban - what’s next?

Pentachlorophenol, PCP - better known in the trade as Penta has been used extensively in the past for preserving utility poles, however, its use is on a severe decline due to its high toxicity and slow biodegradation. Penta is a possible carcinogen and is in fact banned in most countries. On October 4th, 2022 Health Canada published a ‘Re-evaluation Note’ as an update to inform the public of the cancellation of all products containing pentachlorophenol.

Wooden Distribution Utility Pole Shortage

Wooden Distribution Utility Pole Shortage

The shortage of wooden utility poles has become a growing concern in recent years. With the increased demand for sustainable building materials and the impact of climate change on forest ecosystems, the supply of wooden utility poles has become limited. This shortage has caused delays in infrastructure projects, increased costs, and prompted a search for alternative materials. Many companies are now exploring the use of steel utility poles as a sustainable and durable solution. Valmont’s steel poles don't rot, don't get infested with bugs, and they don't require constant maintenance.
