Correct Installation

Poles must be installed correctly i.e. facing the right way to ensure that they can withstand wind forces which play on the conductor lines between the poles. These are the greatest forces the poles will have to bear and it is therefore crucial that the I-sections of the poles face the same way as the conductors (Figure 1 and 2 above)
