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.
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.
Pre-tensioning keeps the concrete section in compression, giving strong resistance to bending and line loads.
No rot, no insect damage and no rusting - a durable alternative to timber and steel poles with low upkeep.
Every pole is cast, cured and tested under the same in-house process, so quality is consistent batch to batch.
Manufactured to standard lengths and hole positions so poles fit existing distribution hardware and fittings.
Every length below is manufactured as standard. For non-standard lengths or project-specific loading, send us your BOQ.
Low-voltage distribution, compound & boundary lines
Standard utility distribution lines
Higher clearance / heavier line requirements
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.

Materials are inspected against relevant standards before they enter production.
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.
HTS wire is inspected and cut to length for the casting bed.
Wire is tensioned on the bed to the specified stress before casting.
Concrete is poured into the mould and vibrated to remove voids.
Poles cure under controlled conditions before wire tension is released into the concrete.
Finished poles are inspected, stored in the yard and dispatched for delivery.
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:
Low- and medium-voltage distribution lines.
Village and feeder-line electrification projects.
Municipal and urban distribution infrastructure.
Shorter poles for compound, boundary and street lighting use.
