WILDFIRE MITIGATION
Fire mesh installation on wood transmission and distribution poles
Wildfire poses a significant and growing threat to power line infrastructure. Wood transmission and distribution poles in high fire-hazard areas are vulnerable to both direct flame contact and airborne ember accumulation, damage that can cause extended outages, costly repairs, and risks to public safety.
Maple Leaf Power Corporation installs wildfire protective mesh on wood poles, reducing the risk of ignition and helping utilities protect critical infrastructure in fire-prone regions. Mesh is applied from the base of each pole to a specified height, determined in accordance with client requirements and site-specific conditions.
WHAT MESH DOES
Ember Protection
The mesh acts as a barrier against airborne ember accumulation at the base of wood poles — one of the primary ignition pathways during wildfire events.
CAPABILITIES
Transmission Poles
Mesh installation on wood transmission poles in high fire-hazard corridors, applied to client-specified heights.
CAPABILITIES
Large Scale Program Delivery
Experienced in delivering mesh installation across large numbers of structures as part of utility-wide wildfire mitigation programs — efficiently and on schedule.
WHAT MESH DOES
Flame Protection
Applied to a specified height on each pole, the mesh provides a physical barrier against direct flame contact, reducing the risk of structural ignition and failure.
CAPABILITIES
Distribution Pole Installation
Mesh installation on wood distribution poles across rural and remote distribution networks in BC's high fire-risk zones.
CAPABILITIES
