Valmont

Every T & D project is as unique as the site upon which it sits. From steel tapered transmission poles and H-frames, to concrete and patented hybrid transmission poles, Valmont-Newmark provides streamlined custom solutions that allow engineers to place the right pole in the right environment…through one company.

Flexibility
Valmont-Newmark poles can be designed, fabricated and ordered as steel, concrete poles or a combination of steel poles and concrete poles, in any height and strength. All orders are shipped to work sites in easy to handle sections. This enables our customers to customize any line segment with structures that are optimally suited for the environment, thus creating a line that is more cost effective, aesthetically pleasing, durable and aligned for optimum structure spacing. Our structures are also easily modified in the field, making them easy to rework.

Ease of Installation
When compared to other structures, the speed and ease of installation of Valmont-Newmark's steel, concrete and hybrid poles is a proven winner. Most concrete poles ship as a single piece directly to the pole site.

Uniformity
Constant taper, without wood's twists, knots, splits or bows, provides uniform diameters every time. Steel also has uniform material strength throughout the entire structure providing more consistent and predictable results than wood. Being an inherently ductile material, steel tends to bend rather than break, resulting in structural reliability and reducing the chance of catastrophic failure in the field.

Maintenance
After installing our poles, there's no need to retighten hardware later due to pole shrinkage as with wood. Steel retains its shape, orientation and strength and isn't susceptible to damage by woodpeckers, insects, rot or fires.

Corrosion Protection
A variety of finishes are available with steel, including galvanized, paint over galvanized (powder coat or liquid), dulled and darkened galvanizing and weathering steel. Below-grade coatings are available for direct embedded poles. Normally, our direct embedded spun concrete poles need no additional in-ground protection. Click here for additional coatings information.
