Comrod Utility
Next Generation Composite Mast System
Comrod Utility designs and manufactures a utility mast system including a unique foundation concept. The mast system comprises a composite tapered pole assembly which can be configured as a single, double, H or A type installation with cross bar powerline support.
The Module Concept
The mast system is based on standard pole modules that can be customised for the individual project. Each pole and foundation is optimised according to the height, weight, strength and foundation location.
Mast System
The mast system modules can be customised to suit the customer requirement. Modules can be manufactured as single pole, H type, A type or triple mast. The mast system can produce solutions ranging from 22kV – 132kV.
Pole Sections
Each pole can be customised and optimised to match the customer project load data (wind, snow, ice etc). Computer analysis ensures the manufactured pole exactly matches the optimised design. Sections are manufactured using a fully automated computer controlled filament winding process.
The Cross-Arms
The poles are compatible with standard cross-arms. In addition, Comrod has developed a cross-arm mount placed inside the pole tip for a more efficient assembly.
A Revolutionary
Foundation Concept
Our unique design has revolutionised the foundation work compared to the traditional method.
Foundation Concept
The new foundation concept consists of a composite tube fitted into the ground by a Comrod designed computer based drill-rig. Foundation drilling is performed efficiently and accurately by certified Comrod personnel.
Efficient foundation work
The new foundation system is capable of large scale foundation work. The unique foundation drilling system is quickly drilled at each pole location by certified Comrod personnel, and it is possible to drill multiple foundations at the same time.
Low Environmental Impact
The foundation system enables each pole to be installed with minimum environmental impact. The drill rig can be positioned on-site by helicopter reducing damage to surrounding land. The unique drilling process reduces the foundation footprint to the minimum.
Low Environmental
Footprint
Our foundation method and light weight poles enable the masts to be installed with minimum environmental impact.
Light weight drilling equipment
The drill rig can be positioned on-site by helicopter reducing damage to surrounding land. The unique drilling process reduces the foundation footprint to the minimum.
Minimal foundation footprint
Traditional mast foundation requires deep holes with large a diameter. With Comrod’s new method, we only need to drill a hole with the diameter of the mast. This makes the area close to the mast virtually untouched.
Maintenance free
The composite utility masts are maintenance free. After installation, there will be no requirement for maintenance of the poles/masts. This also contribute to keeping the environmental footprint low.
