“Countries prone to various natural disasters, such as typhoons, floods, and earthquakes, experience heavy property loss and widespread power outages,” said Andy Postlethwaite, Senior Vice President, Performance Materials Asia Pacific, BASF. “With our strong research capabilities in the compounding of continuous glass fiber and PU materials, combined with a deep understanding of customer needs, we have successfully re-invented the utility poles making them more lightweight, durable and resilient as compared to conventional concrete ones.”
“With typhoons getting more intense and destructive due to climate changes, there is a pressing need to improve the durability of power distribution infrastructure," said Larsen Kolberg, Head of Business Management, Construction Industry, Performance Materials Asia Pacific, BASF. “During a disaster, Boldur poles can be quickly installed in place of traditional concrete poles, and with less manpower and lifting equipment required. This helps affected neighborhoods to restore electricity more efficiently,” Kolberg added.
