G.R.P. Poles are used for lighting as well as energy distribution purposes. Light weight, High S:W ratio and corrosion-resistant nature has enhanced the applicability of the GRP poles in major sectors including lighting and energy transmission. Fibropoles can be used as Solar Street Lightening purpose and also as Electric Street Lighting Purpose mainly used in highways, mains road, residential streets, sports field as high mast poles, decorative lightening, post-top lightening, perimeter security, parks and gardens.
