Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

Australian concrete pole manufacturer Vertech Hume have developed and commercialised an entirely new process for manufacturing reinforced, round, hollow, concrete power poles using a radical new instant strip technology developed in Australia. 'Vertech Hume's Instant Strip Production Plant' was first featured in CPI magazine in February 2007, the same year Vertech Hume won an Australian Government Award for 'Australian Engineering Excellence'. At that time, the technology was embryonic, today it is mature, with an output of 3000 poles per mould per annum. The Vertech Hume Instant Strip process supplies much of the Australian market and has won many multi-year contracts ahead of traditional spun technology competitors.
