Innovative Wood Composite Poles

该项目旨在为开发一种独特的结构杆提供科学支撑，当在整个建筑环境中开发时，这种结构杆将有广泛的应用。宝莱坞有限公司立即有兴趣开发一种替代能源创新中心的杂物输电杆，该中心负责为配电网络运营商(DNO)协调研究。来自欧盟的法律/环境压力要求更换这些电线杆，因此迫切需要找到有效的替代方案。现有的木电杆竞争对手还有其他问题，这使得它们不是最优的。输电杆件必须在各种条件下都能长时间使用，包括极端高温和极端寒冷的环境。解决这一问题将创造社会和经济效益，包括该地区的就业机会，该地区已经失去了许多钢铁行业的工作岗位，同时也为英国提供了一个出口机会。

This project is designed to provide scientific underpinning to the development of a unique structural pole,which will have wide application when developed across the built environment. Pollywood Ltd have immediateinterest for the development of a replacement for the creosoted transmission pole from the Energy InnovationCentre, who co-ordinate research for the Distribution Network Operators (DNOs). There is legal/environmentalpressure from the EU to replace these poles and therefore a pressing need to find an effective alternative.Existing competitors to the wood pole have other issues, which make them sub-optimal. Transmission poleshave to have long lives in a wide range of conditions including extremes of heat and cold. Solving this problemwill create social and economic benefits including jobs in an area, which has lost many steel industry jobs aswell an export opportunity for the UK.
