TridentStrong^™ Composite Utility Poles

When it Comes to FRP Transmission & Distribution Poles It’s All About Strength

For self-supporting applications where strength and stiffness is what you’re looking for. TridentStrong resilient composite utility poles are designed to fit a wide range of applications. Our poles are the go-to for a variety of applications from tangent distribution pole replacement to self-supporting pole projects. Our multi-layer design provides a unique strength that exponentially enhances resilience.

Trident composite poles have many advantages over wood, concrete and steel including lower installation costs and longer lifespan. It’s no wonder why more and more utilities are switching to composite poles. All TridentStrong poles are ANSI 05.1 equivalent.

Trident Poles are Offered in  a Variety of Multi-Layer Configurations

TridentStrong poles have a smaller footprint than comparable filament-wound poles and have been used in self-supporting situations.

Composite FRP utility poles are strong yet lightweight making for easier installation than traditional materials. They’re hollow, allowing the ground wire to be installed inside the pole, mitigating copper theft. 

TridentStrong Multi-Layer Design

TridentStrong multi-layer transmission poles are prefabricated using multiple single-layers that are nested to make a single ready to install at the jobsite. Unlike modular designs, these are the strongest FRP poles on the market. Our nested utility poles come fully assembled, prefabricated and ready for installation making them the most flexible and resilient utility pole on the market.

Advantages of Composite Utility Poles:

• Self-Supporting / Unguyed — Composite poles are used extensively in self-supporting applications. Trident’s design team will work with your engineers to ensure you get the right pole for the right application. Download our Design Form today
• Safety — The poles have high dielectric-strength and safer for workers, birds and other wildlife. FRP utility poles are significantly lighter than steel and are cheaper to transport and safer to install in the field
• Environmental — Since TridentStrong FRP utility poles are inert, you don’t have to worry about special handling or about harsh chemicals or preservatives leaching into soil or groundwater
• Limited Access — TridentStrong composite poles are lightweight making them easy to install in narrow spaces and rough terrain
• UV Stability — Trident composite poles have a resin-rich surface with high UV stabilization. Each pole must pass the 10,000-hour UV test standards, making every Trident pole very resistant to sun and weather damage
• Storm Hardening — Composite utility poles are flexible. They bend in high winds without breaking. When the storm ends, composite poles return to their original shape. Because of this, Trident poles have been used extensively to prevent cascading outages
• Cascade Failure Mitigation — TridentStrong poles are often intermittently installed between standard wood poles to strengthen the circuit and mitigate cascading pole failure from accidents, wind or storm induced damage
• Ready To Install — We can deliver your poles prefabricated for faster installation or they can be drilled in the field
