McWane Poles - Iron Strong

In Woodward, Oklahoma, Northwest Electric Coop experienced a straight-line wind event last summer that knocked down several wood poles.

Northwest Electric Coop is utilizing ductile iron poles throughout their system to prevent a cascading failure of wood poles when a wind or ice event happens, and this summer their grid is stronger than ever.
