Carbon fiber structural reinforcement for pylons and poles

This CIGRE Paris Session 2024 allowed many transmission professionals to discover that Epsilon Composite is a pioneer and worldwide leader in composite structural strengthening solutions for civil engineering structures. It was therefore quite relevant to leverage this know-how to cover structures of transmission and distribution overhead lines, which are made of the same materials and face very similar challenges.

During the event, Epsilon showcased several demonstrators of its patented carbon fiber strengthening solutions for reinforced concrete and steel structures (which can be rectangle, round, hexagonal or lattice structures).

Based on Epsilon’s 30 years expertise in civil engineering and carbon fiber pultrusion, those solutions were designed to reliably and cost effectively extend structures lifetime, with minimized onsite labour.

The 2 demonstrators on display -one for metallic lattice structures and the other one for concrete poles, grabbed the attention of many asset managers looking to repair or extend the lifetime of ageing structures on their grid.
