PoleEnforcer®
Groundline Reinforcement System

Today, perhaps more than any other time, utilities are challenged to provide the same or higher degree of reliability, in a climate of reductions of maintenance budgets, equipment and manpower. An aggressive pole inspection and reinforcing program can save hundreds of thousands of dollars each year over change out costs. Installing the PoleEnforcer® reinforcing system can restore old decayed poles back to new pole strengths for a fraction of the cost of changing them out; extending the service life another 20 to 30 years. PoleEnforcer® can be installed with no interruption of power. Most installations with a crew of two take less than one hour from start to finish. The PoleEnforcer® driving systems can install reinforcing units in virtually all soil conditions.

Are there poles that can't be reinforced?

Our conclusion is there are virtually no applications where a pole is not a candidate for reinforcing. Laminated Wood Systems offers units to reinforce poles with decay twenty five feet and higher. We also offer a system to reinforce decayed poles with as little as one inch of shell up to forty eight inches above groundline. Information and test data is available upon request.

Patented Continous Taper Design

Other pole reinforcing systems do not have this continuous taper design. Without the taper, the steel can "drift" away from the pole during installation below the ground line, reducing contact and overall strength of the unit. The continuous taper design of the PoleEnforcer®, together with its high strength steel banding system and full length flange, make it the strongest, most reliable and cost effective reinforcing unit available.
