How many utility poles are in 1 mile?

The number of utility poles in a mile can vary widely depending on the area and the spacing used by utility companies. Typically, poles are placed about 100 to 150 feet apart, which translates to approximately 30 to 50 poles per mile. In urban areas, poles may be closer together, while in rural areas, they might be farther apart, leading to fewer poles per mile.

Where do wooden telephone poles come from?

Different length poles, up to 120 feet (36.6 m) or more, are used to satisfy clearance requirements, but the standard utility pole in the US is about 40 feet (12.2 m) long and is buried about 6 feet (1.8 m) in the ground, for a height above ground of about 34 feet (10.4 m).[2] They are spaced about 125 feet (38 m) apart. Joint use poles are usually owned by one utility, which leases space on it for other cables. In the USA the National Electrical Safety Code, published by the IEEE, sets the standards for construction and maintenance of utility poles and their equipment. Most utility poles are made of wood, pressure-treated with some type of preservative for protection against rot, fungi and insects. Southern Yellow Pine is the most widely used species in the United States, however many species of long straight trees are used to make utility poles, including Douglas fir, Jack Pine, Lodgepole Pine, Western Red Cedar and Pacific Silver Fir. Traditionally the preservative used was creosote, but due to environmental concerns, alternatives such as pentachlorophenol, copper naphthenate and borates are becoming widespread in the US. For over 100 years the American Wood Protection Association (AWPA) has developed the standards for preserving wood utility poles. Despite the preservatives, wood poles decay and have a life of approximately 25-50 years, depending on climate and soil conditions, therefore requiring regular inspection and remedial preservative treatments.[3][4][5] Other common utility pole materials are steel and concrete, with composites (fibreglass) also becoming more prevalent. One particular patented utility pole variant, used in Australia, is the Stobie pole.

How often utility poles get replaced?

This question has many variables. Some variables are; where the pole is situated, hot climate or cold climate, does the soil freeze in the winter time, soil conditions, wood used in the pole manufacturing, how well it was pressure treated or if it was pressure treated, how much wind loading the pole has to withstand. On the market now are new concrete poles that should be able to outlast any wooden pole. They of course are more expensive but in the long run less maintenance will be needed.
