Pacific is a vertically integrated manufacturer of carbon-neutral, renewable wood utility poles.  Trees are harvested and peeled in the Pacific Northwest and air-seasoned at one of our production facilities in Oregon, Nevada or Arizona.  While this requires longer holding times for inventories, it also is the most environmentally sustainable method of producing wood utility poles, using “solar” energy and wind rather than carbon-based energy for drying.

Pacific produces CuNap and Penta transmission and distribution poles at its Oregon and Nevada facilities.  Creosote treated utility poles are produced at its Arizona facility.  CCA treated poles are also available.

There is No Substitute for a PWP Pole!

The formula to producing long-lasting, clean and reliable Douglas Fir transmission and distribution poles is as follows:

• Start with high quality raw materials, properly stored and monitored to prevent decay.
• Ensure poles are properly sterilized, and are treated soon after sterilization.
• Make sure you specify the appropriate framing and treatment for the application and geographic deterioration zone.
• Choose a quality treater that exceeds industry standards with a proven track record.
• Be suspicious of treaters who discredit third party inspection, blaming either cost of effectiveness.  They may be afraid of the added supervision.
• Ask to see your treater’s paperwork.  A superior treater will have detailed records regarding their work solutions, penetration, retention and sterilization results.
• Utilize a treater who understands and utilizes initial air.
• Make sure your treater is following BMP’s, which means more time-consuming processes including initial air, expansion bath and sufficient final vacuum.
• Inspect through-boring test cores to make sure poles have sufficient wood preservative in the critical groundline area.
