Our polyester fiberglass reinforced poles<\/a> <\/span><\/span>or FRP are an excellent replacement for structures made of traditional materials such as concrete, wood, and steel, thanks to their outstanding corrosion resistance and high durability. Our designs allow us to offer products ranging from 3 meters up to heights exceeding 30 meters, which can be used across different industry applications including public and architectural lighting, telecommunications, and distribution and transmission lines.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

When facing a climate emergency such as hurricanes, extreme winds, or severe storms, traditional electrical infrastructure (such as concrete, metal, or wood poles) can easily fail or become damaged, causing prolonged power supply interruptions.<\/p>

To address this emergency, Multicreto actively participated by supplying Fiberglass poles (FRP), specifically designed for climate contingencies and high-voltage transmission lines.\u00a0<\/p>

Hurricane Odile: how Multicreto helped restore electrical infrastructure in record time<\/h3>

In September 2014, Hurricane Odile, classified as a Category 4 storm, severely impacted the Baja California peninsula. With winds exceeding 220 km\/h, this meteorological phenomenon became one of the most intense and destructive in the region’s recent history.<\/p>

The damage to electrical infrastructure was critical:<\/p>

\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
  • More than 530 high-voltage towers (115 kV)<\/strong> collapsed in mountainous areas and hard to reach terrain.<\/li>

  • More than 2,000 concrete and wood poles<\/strong> were damaged or knocked down in urban and rural areas.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

    Faced with this scenario, the priority was clear: restore the power supply in the shortest time possible, ensuring structural safety, resistance, and operational viability under extreme conditions.<\/p>

    The solution:\u00a0 Fiberglass poles FRP of Multicreto\u00a0<\/h3>

    To address this emergency, Multicreto actively participated by supplying Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester (FRP) poles, specifically designed for climate contingencies and high-voltage transmission lines.
    During the post-hurricane recovery phase, more than 320 Fiberglass poles\u00a0 measuring 69 ft in height were installed, allowing complete sections of the electrical grid to be rebuilt in areas where traditional solutions were not viable.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Thanks to their excellent strength to weight ratio, the fiberglass poles (FRP) could be transported and installed using light helicopters, with a maximum load capacity of 1,543 lbf.
    This was key in mountainous and hard to reach areas where the use of heavy machinery was impossible.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
