FRP Smart Poles (Multi-functional Utility Infrastructure)

Solutions

Future ready infrastructure for Europe, UK and Ireland

Public infrastructure is evolving beyond single-purpose assets. Cities, utilities and transport networks across Europe are now seeking integrated solutions that combine power distribution, EV charging, connectivity and lighting, without increasing street clutter or maintenance complexity.

Wagners Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Smart Poles are designed as multi-functional utility structures, capable of housing EV charging systems, smart sensors, communications equipment and electrical infrastructure within a single, durable pole.

Built on proven FRP structural technology, these poles deliver long service life, electrical safety and corrosion resistance, while enabling the next generation of smart, connected infrastructure.

Why choose FRP Smart Poles

Integrated EV charging capability
FRP Smart Poles can incorporate EV charging systems directly within the pole structure, supporting the rapid rollout of charging networks across urban environments, transport corridors and public spaces—without the need for standalone charging units.

Multi-use smart infrastructure platform
Designed to accommodate sensors, communications equipment, monitoring systems and lighting, Smart Poles reduce the need for multiple assets, simplifying streetscapes and enabling smart city functionality.

Corrosion resistance for harsh European environments
FRP is inherently resistant to salt spray, moisture, de-icing chemicals, UV exposure and industrial pollutants; making it ideal for coastal regions, transport networks and urban environments where traditional materials degrade.

Lightweight and efficient to install
FRP Smart Poles are significantly lighter than steel, reducing transport, installation time and foundation requirements critical for urban retrofit and constrained environments.

Electrical safety by design
The non-conductive properties of FRP improve safety for both maintenance personnel and the public, particularly in utility and EV charging applications.

Long service life with minimal maintenance
Designed for decades of performance (80+ years), FRP Smart Poles reduce life cycle costs by eliminating corrosion-related maintenance and replacement.

Designed for modern Europe, UK, Ireland infrastructure

Wagners FRP Smart Poles are suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

  • EV charging networks and transport corridors
