I'm doing preliminary homework for a new power supply. It will require a private pole and then underground conduit. Aesthetics of the pole are not a big deal.
Many of the Level 2 supplier of poles and connection reckon that standard gal poles typically only last about fifteen years before corrosion at ground level renders them unsafe, whereas they say hardwood is more like 30-40 years in similar conditions. Fifteen years sounds kind of short to me. Aside from catastrophic failures (external events), I haven't seen one die yet. Has anyone here actually seen a gal private pole that has failed from ground level corrosion or is at imminent risk of failing? |
