Summary

Compared to telecommunications poles manufactured with traditional materials like wood, concrete and steel, structures designed with Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite materials provide numerous advantages for professionals in the telecommunications industry.  
 
These advantages include enhanced safety, lightweight properties, availability in various designs, adherence to industry standards, low maintenance and efficient production and installation processes. There are many valuable reasons why end users should strongly consider composites when selecting poles for telecommunications projects. These poles are engineered to withstand extreme weather, have high reliability and are ideal for storm-prone coastal regions and areas like the Midwest and Northeast exposed to deicing salts. 
 
Join this webinar for exclusive insights into the growing trend of the telecommunications industry adopting FRP composite solutions, with a special focus on pultruded FRP structures. Dustin Troutman, a senior leader and subject matter expert from Creative Composites Group, the nation’s largest vertically integrated manufacturer of structural FRP composites, will lead this webinar.  
 
Dustin will address fundamental questions, such as the unique manufacturing process of FRP composite poles and their diverse user network. Using case studies and success stories, he will also explore their distinct flame-retardant properties, showcasing how they enhance resilience, improve sustainability, and contribute to decarbonization efforts. Additionally, as a call to action, Dustin will present essential best practices for installing FRP composite poles and cover relevant codes and compliance guidelines.
