The plant can treat 50m³ of timber per day on a single shift and approximately 90m³ on a double shift.
70 litres of creosote is required to treat 1m³ of timber. Approximately 15000 litres is kept as "dead
stock" as it is a permanent residue required to achieve the right level of pressure.
The main tank is long
enough to treat telephone and electric poles. Our steam boiler heats the creosote to an operational
temperature of 85°C. The quality of the pole treatment complies with the SAZ and SABS
specifications. The creosote used complies with (BS144) British Standards and protects timber against
fungus, wood borers and termites. It can preserve the wood for up to ±50 years.
We nail plate our poles with Zinc-coated gangnails not less that 200g/m³ of SAZ5648. Thickness will be at least 1mm and punched nail length at least 10mm . Nail plate covers at 40% and we treat our poles using the full-cell pressure process. Our creosote complies with BS144, SABS539, SAZS514 and SABS11290, and our retention is 115kg/m³ for creosote. Pressure treatment is done at a temperature of 80°C for two and a half hours. The average lifespan of our poles is 40 years.
