Steel Utility Pole Dimensions

For over sixty years the meyer name has been synonymous with leadership quality and reliability in the transmission structure industry.

Steel utility pole dimensions. The sizes go down incrementally by two inches of tip circumference. We manufacture poles in classes 1 through 3 from 30 feet to 95 feet and h class poles in strength ratings to class h10 and heights up to 95 feet. The classes definition specifies a minimum circumference that depends on the species of tree and the length of the pole. The power of steel.

Valmont utility offers standard tapered steel poles that cover a wide range of lengths and capacities. Poles and posts are the heart of valmont structures. The h classification indicates the largest utility poles in terms of circumference and height. Steel variability asce manual and reports on engineering practice no.

When you partner with valmont utility to meet this unique challenge the first place we look for the best solution is steel. Steel poles are designed to meet the same ansi 05 1 height and class requirements as wood poles when the load factor is in accordance with the national electrical safety code nesc grade b construction design. H5 poles can range from 45 to 125 feet tall and are no less than 37 inches in circumference at their tip. The steel utility pole is an engineered product.

Actual pole dimensions. Utility poles are divided into ten classes from 1 to 10. Contact us today for a quote and more information. Pole sizes and technical information our poles are manufactured to meet minimum tip load and moment capacity equivalents of wood poles under nesc grade b construction.

It is designed to asce criteria nesc minimum load requirements and uses material and manufacturing to astm international specifications and welding to aws specifications. This circumference is measured 6 feet from the butt of the pole. There is also a minimum top circumference that is the same for all species and lengths. It is designed to american society of civil engineers asce criteria national electric safety code nesc minimum load requirements and uses material and manufacturing to astm international specifications and welding to american welding society aws specifications.

We were the first to develop design and fabricate multi sided tubular steel transmission poles the first to use corrosion resistant weathering steel the first to utilize full scale vertical testing and the first to develop wood equivalent steel poles. The steel utility pole is an engineered product. Benefits of wood as a utility pole material. 4 ansi american national standards institute.
