Manchukonda Prakasham Industries India Private Limited, a market leader in pre-stressed cement concrete flat poles in India, is planning to diversify into pre-stressed cement concrete spun pole/pile business by setting up a most advanced and state-of-the-art spun pole/pile manufacturing unit near Hyderabad, India. The project will be commissioned on fast track basis and is expected to be operational during the current calendar year 2013.

Unlike the pre-stressed cement concrete flat poles and wooden poles, the spun poles have superior strength and appearance. The increase in strength is achieved through centrifugal spinning with those of pre-stressing and high strength concrete in the manufacturing process. The advanced centrifugal spinning ensures the concrete is compacted into a hard and dense material exhibiting superior strength and excellent finish.

The company will be focusing primarily on the following few application segments to market spun poles:

Power Segment:

• Transmission & Distribution Infrastructure (Power transmission & distribution poles)
• Township Lighting (Street/High-mast lighting & Sports/Yard lighting poles)
• Traction Infrastructure (Electric train traction poles)

Telecom Segment:

• Telecom Tower (Telecom poles)

And for spun piles, following are some of the application segments to be of immediate business focus:

• Foundation Pile (Building/Port/River Structures, Bridges, Retaining Walls)
• Columns (Building Structures, Bridge Piers)
  

The company is actively looking forward to procure high quality spun pole production machinery and equipments from reputed global vendors for setting up its manufacturing plant to release high quality spun poles or piles into the market at the earliest.
