Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at McWane Poles, from our products to our manufacturing process to our community outreach. In fact, it’s one of our eight core principles that comprise the McWane Way:
Tornadoes have already occurred in over half of the mainland states, spanning from California to Delaware and from Wisconsin to Texas, and this tornado season is shaping up to be record-breaking, both in terms of frequency and damage. The 2023 tornado season has already produced almost 500 tornado reports in 25 states, resulting in a death toll more than twice that of last year, and we haven’t even reached peak tornado season yet.
Since 2008, McWane Poles has sold more than 100,000 poles to more than 400 customers! We hold ourselves to high standards to provide excellent customer service, and now we want to help you understand how to submit a successful RFQ that will ensure you get the most accurate information possible.
Every area of the country deals with its own unique environmental situation, which means there’s not a one-size-fits-all solution for hardening power and distribution lines. The material of the pole, the finish, and accessories can all be customized to provide the best solution for every region’s unique context. In this guide, we explore how specific materials, finishes, and accessories can help you strengthen your grid.
The bad news: Wildfires are increasing in number and intensity. The good news: There are concrete, research-proven steps utilities can take right now to minimize damage to your system—and reduce the risk that one of your downed lines is the culprit.
McWane Poles is proud to be a part of the McWane family of companies.
