Case Study: Clallam PUD hardens its grid with Creative Composites Group's StormStrong utility poles

Clallam County’s Public Utility District cuts pole lead times by up to 75% with Creative Composites Group

Clallam County's Public Utility District (PUD) needed to harden its power grid against high winds and reduce its reliance on wood poles, which had declining service life. Their existing composite pole suppliers were also facing long lead times of over 40 weeks. To address this, the utility turned to vendor Creative Composites Group and its StormStrong FRP utility poles.

Creative Composites Group provided a solution with significantly faster lead times of 10-12 weeks, which were up to 75% shorter than other manufacturers. This speed, combined with the reliable performance of the poles, made CCG a go-to supplier for Clallam PUD. The result was an accelerated grid hardening initiative, with line workers quickly adapting to and benefiting from the new composite poles.
