What's the advantage of fiberglass mast poles?

Fiberglass light poles advantages:

1. Light weight, high strength: FRP material strength and advanced alloy steel equivalent to a density of 1.5 to 2.0, carbon steel 1/4 to 1/5, the tensile strength considerably. Therefore, the same size pole, the weight fiberglass poles are steel bar about 1/3, based on this characteristic, fiberglass lamp poles, which are particularly suitable for bridge load requirements of local authorities. 

2. Resistance to corrosion resistance: FRP is a good corrosion-resistant materials, there is resistance to air, water and general concentration of acid, alkali, salt, and a variety of oils and solvents good. Fiberglass poles therefore well adapted to humid and rainy south and the air in the higher salinity of coastal cities. In the poles throughout the service cycle, appearance and internal will not be any significant change. This is unmatched by ordinary steel bars.

 3. Good insulation: FRP is a good insulating material used to make insulators. So fiberglass light poles will not shock injury accident caused by leakage occurs during use. Although the metal pole grounding protection device installed, but ultimately can not avoid fool proof. So fiberglass poles higher (such as sidewalks, parks) and other local safety requirements, it has certain advantages.

4. Maintenance-free: fiberglass poles because of corrosion over the entire life cycle does not require maintenance, which uses a special surface coating materials, can guarantee ten years there will be no significant fading. At relatively scarce street maintenance funding situation, more highlight our advantage.

5. The surface is smooth and beautiful: fiberglass pole and the outer surface of the coating material has a good affinity, sostreetlight surface is very smooth after molding, and more beautiful than ordinary steel rod. 

6. Low installation costs: fiberglass light poles because of its light weight, so no crane installation, the installation is simple and quick little impact on traffic. In the streetlight project, labor costs account for about 20% to 30% of the total cost, if you use fiberglass poles can effectively reduce costs in this area.

7. The strong wind resistance: FRP materials have a slight elasticity, fiberglass poles in the typhoon comes, will have an amplitude of about 10%, but it is plastically deformed after the typhoon, it will spring back to the original position. Bamboo wind with its principle is similar.
