LUXPOLE analyses the Sylvatest TRIO data (nondestructive technology based on ultrasounds) for new wooden poles quality management, before their installation in the networks

LUXPOLE grades the new wooden poles according to three classes :

• XL : strongest poles, with the best mechanical performances

• L : strong poles, with high mechanical performances

• S : poles with reduced mechanical performances

Thanks to LUXPOLE, the new wooden poles receive an objective evaluation of their mechanical performances before their installation in the networks. The weakest poles (S) can be sorted out of the production or proposed to another industry requiring lower expectations. The strongest poles (XL) can optimize the networks and especially :

• Extended pole’s life time

• Higher loading capacity for and equivalent pole’s diameter

• Reduced diameter for an equivalent load capacity

• Extended span between two consecutive poles

LUXPOLE measurements can be performed before or after their treatment.

The final LUXPOLE aim is to increase the overhead networks reliability using wooden poles by sorting out the weakest components together with reduced maintenance costs for the strongest ones.

Technicians from CBS-CBT can propose the LUXPOLE expertise to impregnators or any wood poles utilities/telecom companies.

LUXPOLE concept has been especially designed for new wood poles quality management before their installations in telecom/utilities overhead networks.
