A summary of powerbeam features:

• The installation of Powerbeam is a simple and cost effective process.
• The compound structure of the Powerbeam provides a range of strength capacities sufficient to reinstate power and communication poles of all sizes.
• Powerbeam is not restricted by unidirectional characteristics and can he used anywhere on the circumference of the pole. This makes if possible to reinstate most timber poles. including those with extensive assets attached.
• In most cases one single Powerbeam can restore a pole asset to its former strength.
• Designed to provide the same strength and bending properties in all directions
• Heavy-duty robust construction.
•  Hot dip galvanised to provide corrosion free long life.
• Guaranteed for 20 years (conditions apply) or the life of the pole assets.
• Speed of installation and asset reinstatement provides rapid network security and reliability.
• As only one Powerbeam is generally required it can be installed in the most convenient location around a pole thereby avoiding underground services and other above ground assets.
• Improved operational efficiency as less technical, scheduling and planning staff are required compared with organising outages. As 95% of a pole asset extending above ground is generally in good condition the Powerbeam system provides maximisation of asset utilisation extending the life of existing assets.
• Improved productivity, twice as many assets can be reinstated than replaced within the same time frame.
• Pole asset reinstatement is maintained as a regular operation and being pro-active this avoids possible power disruptions.
• In today’s contestable marketplace where supply reliability and continuity is all important, reinstatement and the speed of installation contributes significantly towards the integrity, security and reliability of the network system, providing supply reliability and decreases unplanned outages due to asset failures.
• The Powerbeam system contributes dramatically towards meeting increased pressure and the reinstatement work is conducted quickly and without interruption.
• Installation of the Powerbeam is more efficient and cost effective, providing considerable savings as compared to pole replacement.
