Strength Testing

Madera poles undergo extensive strength testing using an AS/NZS7000:2016 Appendix FF-compliant strength test bed. This advanced testing system simulates real-world load conditions, verifying that each order meets the necessary load-bearing capacity before it leaves our facility. By adhering to this stringent standard, we ensure that our poles provide reliable structural support for infrastructure projects, utility applications, and other critical installations.

Visual Inspection

Beyond mechanical testing, each pole is subjected to a thorough visual inspection to standard AS3818. 11-2009 to guarantee consistency and quality. This process follows industry best practices and assesses key factors such as knots, straightness, surface finish, and any natural imperfections that could impact structural integrity. Our skilled inspectors meticulously examine each pole, ensuring that only the highest-quality timber meets our standards and reaches our customers.

CCA Treatment for Longevity

To enhance durability and resistance, Madera poles are pressure-treated with CCA (Copper Chrome Arsenate) to standard AS1604-1. This treatment deeply penetrates the wood, protecting it against fungal decay, insect infestations, and environmental wear. CCA treatment extends the lifespan of our poles, making them an ideal solution for long-term outdoor applications where exposure to moisture, soil contact, and harsh weather conditions is a concern. Our treatment process complies with international safety regulations, ensuring both environmental responsibility and product reliability.

At Madera, our commitment to quality, compliance, and sustainability ensures that every pole we produce meets the highest industry benchmarks. Through rigorous testing, careful inspection, and advanced treatment, we deliver products that provide unmatched strength, durability, and performance in the field.
