LD poles for power transmission and distribution

In recent year development in power transmission & distribution project, some wood poles had been substituted by steel poles slowly. MEGATRO developed and brought to the market LD poles as a steel alternative to transmission class wood poles. The standard designs and high-strength material used in the fabrication of our Light Duty steel poles insures confidence through the stability and reliability associated with steel. Though typically half the weight of wood poles,  the strength of steel coupled with an optimized line design make it possible to extend spans. These longer spans allow for a reduction in the number of poles, insulators, hardware, and associated cost of construction.

Now MEGATRO can produce LD pole with some type as follow:

(1) Flange connection
(2) Slip joint
(2) Step type
(3) Stagger type
(4) Others

MEGATRO can optimize design, to set a compact, narrow base, the pole design not only advanced but practical, with an emphasis on economic rationality to ensure safe and reliable operation. Today, with over 10 years of experience and our commitment to excellence, MEGATRO remains an industry leader in the manufacture and design of steel tubular & monopole structures for all Highway, Municipal, Custom, telecom, lighting and electric Utility applications. MEGATRO has a complete staff of professional engineering personnel trained in the PLS Pole program and three different manufacturing processes for producing steel towers, poles and other supports. We utilize the latest versions of PLS-CADD, PLS-POLE, TOWER, AutoCAD and other CAD software. To meet the expectation, we produce shop drawings, components list and full production documentation, and even complete 3D models that facilitate the elimination of all design and drawings errors generated on the drawings. Another advantage is our 3D design and loading & design report, and can optimized the design and save cost for our clients.

MEGATRO is one of the few manufactures who assemble a face of LD pole. This attention to quality may not be the cheapest process but it does insure every tower meets our high standards of quality. And it helps to reduce on-site construction cost due to mismatched assemblies. MEGATRO LD poles systems can accommodate a variety of cross-arm and other accessories. After fabrication LD poles are delivered to the galvanizing facility to be Hot DIP Galvanized. Towers are processed through the facility by Caustic Cleaning, Pickling, and then Fluxing. These strict procedures insure years of maintenance free towers. Even we take secondary finish for client again, which as duplex surface treatment. 

LD poles also offer continued savings, with reduced maintenance costs and a longer pole life. Environmentally friendly and recyclable, our LD poles come in a galvanized finish or self-weathering steel. And, because they are readily available, our LD poles offer you the quickest turn-around time in the industry.
