McWane Poles

Is replacing every single pole in your system not feasible? You can still harden your lines and prevent cascading failures by using ductile iron poles in strategic places. That’s exactly what a recent client did. We helped them replace their wood poles with ductile iron at increments throughout their system to prevent a domino effect when storms strike. Let’s talk about what steps we can take to protect your system. #setitandforgetit #ironstrong

When Hurricane Beryl made landfall in early July, nearly 3 million Texans found themselves without power, but we’re proud to say that grids hardened with ductile poles experienced far less outages. That’s why we remind every utility that now is the time to start preparing for the next storm. McWane Poles is your partner in hardening your system, with fast lead times (generally 4-6 weeks) and emergency assistance when disaster strikes.  #setitandforgetit #ironstrong

When Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) needed an emergency response for wood poles knocked out by a storm, they contacted McWane Ductile, and we are proud that we were able to provide a very quick turnaround that helped get their system back up and running.  BPA is a huge utility, and because it is a federal government utility, communication and coordination between BPA and McWane was critical in delivering the poles they needed as soon as possible. We want to thank the team at BPA, as well as our staff at McWane, for all of their hard work in making this a success. #setitandforgetit #ironstrong

In May, Southern Company visited both our UT and OH facilities where they took a deep dive into how McWane Poles are manufactured.

If you are interested in touring our facilities, please contact your local rep. #setitandforgetit #ironstrong

In 2021, GRICUA - Gila River Indian Community Utility Authority in southern Arizona experienced back-to-back severe monsoons and storms. Winds reached as high as 90 mph, which resulted in the loss of more than 50 poles and extensive damage to their transmission system. After the storm, they convened their engineering team to evaluate the situation and develop an after-action report, which recommended immediate hardening improvements to their system and utilizing poles with greater reliability. Read our case study to see how GRICUA partnered with McWane Ductile to not only harden their system but also lower the lifecycle cost of its poles: https://lnkd.in/e9ktqR9r #setitandforgetit #ironstrong
