NEW CUSHION-GRIP™ Suspension FROM PLP
The level of protection provided by the CUSHION-GRIP Suspensions is comparable to a bolted clamp over armor rods. This equates to a reduction in bending strain as high as 50% as compared to bare conductor in a bolted clamp. This reduction in bending strain can be directly related to an increase in overall conductor life.

Toughened
glass insulators cannot be punctured or be
internally cracked. Inspection requires a
simple glance at the string, giving
a complete and reliable assessment of the condition of the insulation. This
means that a crew in a helicopter can inspect over 60
miles of line, or more, per hour.
Inspecting porcelain & composite insulators
requires a testing crew to visit each structure
with insulator strings. Inspecting
porcelain insulators is
difficult to do requiring buzzing
of each unit. Inspecting
composite insulators is sometimes impossible.

NEW! AcoustaWall™ Sound Wall
AcoustaWall reduces noise and light pollution around transformer yards, along highways and mass transit lines, and near retail, commercial and
industrial facilities. It hides unsightly equipment, discourages intruders, and delivers more noise reduction per square foot per dollar than concrete,
wood or metal. Plus, it looks better, installs faster, and lasts longer.
