Process

Pressure treated pole products - Creosote & Tanalith

Our Process

1

Forestry: Standing timber is felled and then debarked, skidded to depots and merchandised to required lengths and diameters according to specifications.

2

Timber is then transported to Khulani Timbers where all the timber is weighed over our weighbridge.

3

Each load will then be graded according to SANS 754,457 and 1288 specification.

4

Dependent on the specification the poles will then be nail plated accordingly.

5

Wet poles are either air dried or kiln dried as per customer specification.

6

A before treatment inspection according to Specific Permit Conditions is carried out after the drying process.

7

Khulani makes use of the Bethell (full-cell) treatment process for both creosote and tanalith, as per SANS 10005.

8

Final inspection is then carried out on the treated timber, to ensure all is treated accordingly and meets the specific requirements in SANS 754/1288.

9

Final products are then delivered by Khulani’s transport fleet, contractors, or by containers which are then shipped.
