Dulhunty Poles is a manufacturer and distributor of a uniquely comprehensive range of innovative engineered cement utility poles for a large number of applications.
All Titan designs, including standard designs for commonly used power poles, are first assessed by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) before construction of prototypes for testing.
Improvements and innovations identified through the testing and those proposed by customers, can be modelled and considered through the FEA methodology, so that likely changes to processing or material content can be predicted in advance.
In common with most engineered products, a wide range of properties can be produced and the preliminary analysis allows informed decision making regarding construction cost and benefit.
Typical FEA diagrams for power poles include identification of stress levels and deflection are shown here.
