Timber treatment options for wooden utility poles

Our treated utility poles are generally made using one of three timber treatment options – CCA, creosote or Tanalith. CCA is usually the most cost-effective option, providing an excellent balance of quality and cost. Meanwhile, creosote has been one of the most popular wood treatment options for more than a century, therefore, naturally, it’s also widely used for treated timber posts. However, the European Union has recently started to restrict the use of both treatment options, due to concerns about their environmental impact.

That’s why recently the most popular treatment option for wooden utility poles has been Tanalith. Tanalised timber posts might seem a bit more costly at first, however, it’s an investment that pays off in the long term, as Tanalith isn’t only friendlier to the environment but also considerably prolongs the lifespan of treated timber posts. Therefore, they are becoming increasingly in demand. We are one of the leading manufacturers of treated utility poles in Russia, with the ability to supply tanalised timber posts, as well as timber poles treated with creosote or CCA to customers across Europe, Asia and other locations.

Advantages of wooden utility poles, in comparison to other materials

The wood preservative Tanalith is a modern and ecologically friendlier way of protecting timber products against decay.

It’s a water-soluble antiseptic that’s been slowly but steadily becoming the preferred treatment option for timber used in railway sleepers over the last few decades, as it’s not only environmentally safer but also able to prolong the lifetime of timber products, compared to other treatment options. We provide tanalised railway sleepers to customers around the world.
