Wooden poles

Wooden electricity and telephone poles

Unprocessed wooden poles or creosote-impregnated wooden poles

We manufacture and export mainly creosote-impregnated wooden electricity and telephone poles and also unprocessed poles. The creosote pole is our most important export product. Besides its own production, Pinar Oy has a tradition of selling other producers’ poles too.

With professional skill and service

The starting-point for our operations is to make a product that is high-quality, safe, and individually suited to customers’ needs.

The best solution for that is provided by creosote, a distillate of coal tar. Creosote has excellent wood protection properties that offer the longest service life even in the most demanding conditions.
Impregnation with creosote is done by the Rüping process, as follows:

1. The poles are preheated to a temperature of 50-70 ºC before impregnation.
2. Our heat regulation system keeps the creosote at an even temperature of 105 ºC throughout the impregnation process. The creosote oils fulfil the requirements of these Standards: WEI Type B and WEI Type C.
3. The aftertreatment, done using a vacuum technique, ensures that the processed poles do not ‘sweat’. 

Our sales service gives versatile help in all questions relating to our sector.
