Norway's largest network company, Elvia AS, has been our partner for years. Elvia manages Norway's largest grid area, covering a total of approximately 50,000 km2. In practice, Elvia is responsible for ensuring that nearly two million people in Oslo, Innlandet, Akershus and Østfold areas have electricity in their sockets.
At Elvia, our new Pole+ poles have been received very positively. Production manager of Elvia, Leif-Joar Stakeng tells:
“We have been working with Scanpole for over 20 years. Scanpole is a reliable partner that delivers high-quality poles. The lifespan of copper oil-impregnated poles is roughly the same as creosote poles. They are NTR-certified and the impregnating agents are approved,”
We thank Elvia for the smooth cooperation over the years!

Mark Podmore works at our Newport factory in South Wales. As a pole fabrictor his task is to prepare raw poles for impregnation. This includes several work phases, such as moving the poles, modifying them to the correct dimensions and making various markings.
"In my work, it is important to know how to use tools and maintain them. However, occupational safety and compliance with safety regulations are always top priorities," says Mark about his work.
Mark is a native of Newport and has also worked at the Scanpole factory as a forklift driver. Previously, he worked at a local brewery.
Podmore says he likes his job. My colleagues are nice and even though the weather conditions sometimes vary greatly, working outdoors is nice once you get used to it.
