Webinar: Two Case Studies—FRP Utility Poles
25 Aug @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Discover why Vector chose to replace the existing timber H-frames with the first FRP utility pole and crossarm H-frame in the Southern Hemisphere on the Dome Valley project. Then explore the design behind the longest line off an FRP pole on Kawau Island including a detailed deep dive into the engineering behind the mega span. During this webinar you will learn:
- Why Vector chose FRP over timber for critical network upgrades
- How FRP poles and crossarms changed what was possible at Dome Valley
- What makes the Dome Valley H-Frame a Southern Hemisphere first
- How the Kawau Island mega span was engineered from an FRP pole
- What testing and validation sits behind confident FRP pole design
Featuring guest speakers, Vector Senior Asset Engineer, Keith Gu and Wagners CFT Global Utilities Lead, James Lorrimer.
This webinar will include a 30-minute formal presentation followed by 15 minutes of interactive Q&A.
