PSC concrete electric poles

PSC Poles - Pre-Stressed Concrete Electric Poles

Also known as concrete electric poles, cement poles or "bijuli pole" - manufactured in-house in Ratnanagar, Chitwan, in 8 m, 9 m and 11 m lengths for power distribution, rural electrification and utility infrastructure.

What is a PSC Pole

Pre-stressed concrete, engineered for load and longevity.

PSC stands for Pre-Stressed Concrete. During manufacturing, high-tensile steel wire is tensioned before the concrete is cast around it. Once the concrete cures and the wire is released, it keeps the concrete permanently in compression - the same principle used across modern precast infrastructure. This pre-compression is what allows a PSC pole to carry line and wind loads over a long service life with very little maintenance, without the rot risk of timber poles or the corrosion risk of steel poles.

01

High structural strength

Pre-tensioning keeps the concrete section in compression, giving strong resistance to bending and line loads.

02

Long service life

No rot, no insect damage and no rusting - a durable alternative to timber and steel poles with low upkeep.

03

Factory-controlled quality

Every pole is cast, cured and tested under the same in-house process, so quality is consistent batch to batch.

04

Standard fittings & dimensions

Manufactured to standard lengths and hole positions so poles fit existing distribution hardware and fittings.

Technical Specifications

PSC pole specification table

PSC poles across the Nepali market are manufactured to the same governing standard (IS 1678:1998). Triveni's poles meet these standard parameters - the figures below are the applicable standard values; exact drawing-certified figures for your class/length are confirmed on request.

Raw Materials

What goes into every pole

Materials are inspected against relevant standards before they enter production.

Concrete grade · M-55 min.
Prestressing System

Why pre-tensioning matters

High-tensile steel wire is stressed on the casting bed before concrete is poured around it. Once the concrete cures and wire tension is released (stress transfer), the wire pulls the concrete into permanent compression along the pole's length - the mechanism that gives PSC poles their strength-to-weight advantage and crack resistance compared with ordinary reinforced concrete.

Manufacturing Process

How our PSC poles are made

1

Wire Preparation

HTS wire is inspected and cut to length for the casting bed.

2

Prestressing

Wire is tensioned on the bed to the specified stress before casting.

3

Casting & Compaction

Concrete is poured into the mould and vibrated to remove voids.

4

Curing & Stress Transfer

Poles cure under controlled conditions before wire tension is released into the concrete.

5

Inspection & Dispatch

Finished poles are inspected, stored in the yard and dispatched for delivery.

Quality & Testing

The specification is shared across the industry. Our internal quality control is not.

Every PSC pole manufacturer in Nepal works to the same governing standard. What differs between factories is how consistently that standard is actually controlled on the shop floor. At Triveni, every batch goes through the same checks before it leaves the yard:

Incoming material inspection
Concrete batching control
Prestressing tension checks
Dimensional inspection
Surface & visual inspection
Final release inspection before dispatch
