👏 Congratulations to the Wagners team on producing such an informative piece and showcasing the real-world benefits of composite infrastructure through the Energy Queensland Roma–Injune line project. ⚡ It's exciting to see more utilities embracing composite technology as part of building safer, more resilient electricity networks for the future. 📞 If you're exploring composite solutions for your network, whether it's utility poles, crossarms or hardware, get in touch with our team! We'd be happy to discuss the right solution for your project. https://lnkd.in/gVYZAu4m
For decades, utility pole selection was often driven by what had always been used. Today, that conversation is changing. Across Australia, utilities are looking more closely at whole-of-life performance, network resilience, safety and long-term asset management. It's no longer just about replacing a pole, it's about investing in infrastructure that will continue to perform for decades to come. I recently had the opportunity to visit Energy Queensland's Roma–Injune line project and speak with Lineman and Work Group Leader, Jeremy Thomas and Chief Engineer, Suzanne Shipp about the role FRP utility poles are playing in the network. Rather than hearing our perspective, you'll hear directly from the people planning, delivering and managing this project. They share why the poles were selected, what they've learned during deployment, and how they see composite materials contributing to the future of electricity distribution. It's an honest conversation about innovation, collaboration and the practical realities of introducing new technology into a live network. I'd like to thank Jeremy, Suzanne and the Energy Queensland team for generously sharing their insights and allowing us to tell this story. I hope you enjoy the video. Ergon Energy Network | Energex
