We provide our customers the durability, reliability, longevity, and customer responsiveness they demand. 3

5 WHY PUPI WHY PUPI DURABILITY PUPI fiberglass crossarms are designed to be the most durable alternative to wood, steel - even other composite crossarms! Our heavy-duty construction and exclusive TorqueGUARD bushings protect against damage during hardware installation and provide maximum resistance to bolt and pin torque. In many applications, a single PUPI crossarms has the strength to replace two or more wood crossarms. PUPI users have the peace of mind that they are installing the most durable crossarms available. RELIABILITY PUPI crossarms are engineered products, manufactured with a fiberglass pultrusion process that creates products of the highest quality and consistency. Unlike wood, PUPI crossarms are totally free from knots and imperfections that can cause failure over time. PUPI crossarms can withstand transient loads that cause wood crossarms to fail. Because they are specifically designed for utility use, they have the strength to handle any situation, yet are also lightweight and easy to install. LONGEVITY CUSTOMER FOCUS LEADERSHIP SunGUARD UV protection is thermally-bonded to the surface of every PUPI product, providing the most durable protection available against UV damage. Rigorous testing shows that SunGUARD UV coating will maintain its effectiveness for at least 60 years, in any climate. Additionally, every PUPI crossarm is completely filled with closed-cell sealant to lock out moisture and contaminants. There has never been a failure of a SunGUARD-treated PUPI crossarm due to environmental degradation. Understanding customer needs on a deep level has been a key to the success of PUPI crossarms. We have extensive testing and design capabilities that assure the best solutions to our customers application needs. We understand the critical nature of the services our customers provide and respond quickly to requests for emergency shipments. Every PUPI product is backed by a dedicated support team that is ready and willing to do what it takes to get the job done. PUPI developed the first commercially successful composite crossarm and has led the way since our first crossarm was shipped in We have invested in materials lab and testing facilities that set us apart from our competition. Today, PUPI is the market share leader in fiberglass crossarms, giving us the largest installed base and the longest service record of any composite crossarm manufacturer. Our products are used at hundreds of utilities across North America and the World. Our track record and dedication to our customers are what keeps PUPI customers coming back year after year. 4

6 WHY PUPI BUILT TOUGH

7 WHY PUPI BUILT TOUGH WHY PUPI PUPI has more fiberglass crossarm pultrusion experience than any manufacturer. Pultrusion is a highly automated and controlled process for manufacturing continuous fiber reinforced composite materials of the highest strength and reliability. Continuous glass fibers are combined with fiber mats, impregnated with thermosetting resin and drawn through heated precision dies to cure the structure. For PUPI products, an ultraviolet inhibitor is included in the resin, a resin-rich veil mat forms the surface of the part and SunGUARD UV resistant coating is thermally bonded to produce composite products with unmatched resistance to outdoor weathering. PUPI pultruded products are designed and manufactured under careful process control to give uniform, predictable properties and reliable performance. PULTRUSION PROCESS SUNGUARD UV COATING All PUPI products feature three levels of weathering protection including exclusive SunGUARD UV coating. GEOTEK has been manufacturing fiberglass structural products for outdoor applications since Since 1982, all fiberglass structures have been produced with SunGUARD UV coating. Since then, not a single product failure of any SunGUARD UV coated product has been noted anywhere in the world due to environmental degradation, nor has any measurable coating erosion over time been documented. That s because patented SunGUARD UV coating is thermally bonded to the surface of PUPI crossarms during the pultrusion process. No other crossarm offers more protection against the elements. With three levels of UV and weathering protection you can expect PUPI crossarms to last 60 or more years in any climate and we have the longest track record to prove it. PUPI 3 LEVELS OF UV PROTECTION: LEVEL 1. An outer surface of our exclusive thermally-bonded SunGUARD UV coating. LEVEL 2. A layer of ultraviolet-resistant polyester veil covers the beam underneath the SunGUARD UV coating. LEVEL 3. A broad spectrum UV inhibitor is used throughout the entire resin system. * See the technical appendix for a full description of the PUPI UV protection system. 6

8 WHY PUPI WHY PUPI BUILT TOUGH TORQUEGUARD BUSHINGS PUPI fiberglass crossarms are built to withstand bolt torque and increase pin connection strength. PUPI tangents, deadends and transmission arms are available with exclusive crush-resistant internal bushings to prevent damage from over-tightening. PUPI crossarms can withstand over 450 ft-lbs of bolt-tightening torque. It s a unique idea that makes installation faster and easier without the worry of damaging the crossarm. PUPI crossarms with TorqueGUARD bushings have been tested to exceed RUS requirements for transverse and longitudinal torque strength. CLOSED-CELL SEALANT Inside every PUPI tangent, deadend and transmission arm, you ll find closed-cell polyurethane foam that seals the beam to prevent moisture contamination and allows field drilling along the length of the arm. This lightweight foam is designed to completely fill the inside of the beam and will never absorb moisture, or allow water to enter the crossarm. PRECISION DRILLING PUPI crossarm holes are drilled by automated equipment to meet the tightest of tolerances. Holes are carefully drilled outside-in to prevent any possibility of delamination or rough edges. 7

9 WHY PUPI BUILT TOUGH WHY PUPI INDUSTRY-LEADING TESTING AND APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT CAPABILITIES GEOTEK brings nearly 40 years of pultrusion and materials science experience to the PUPI crossarm and brace manufacturing processes. Engineered specifically for the critical demands of the electrical utility industry, PUPI crossarms exhibit performance and reliability that is unmatched. PUPI s reputation for durability is built upon years of intensive testing and application engineering. UV RESISTANCE TESTING: PUPI SunGUARD UV coating has been independently tested to the 2,500 hours of accelerated UV exposure specified by the U.S. Rural Utilities Service. After 2,500 hours, PUPI crossarms showed no degradation in flexural strength, modulus or deflection. There was no visible change to the color or gloss of the UV coating. When tested to 10,000 hours of accelerated UV exposure, PUPI crossarms showed some lightening of the SunGUARD UV coating color but no other changes in the coating. STRENGTH & DEFLECTION TESTING: Repeated mechanical testing at independent test facilities confirms that PUPI crossarms meet or exceed stated load ratings. GEOTEK s on-site mechanical testing facilities can be used to test custom applications of PUPI crossarms and braces. ELECTRICAL TESTING: Leading electrical laboratories have confirmed that PUPI crossarms have superior insulating and BIL properties. CUSTOM APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT: GEOTEK has worked with customers around the world to develop PUPI fiberglass solutions to their challenges. GEOTEK engineers have extensive experience working with fiberglass crossarms specifically for use in the electrical utility industry. All PUPI product recommendations benefit from years of extensive foundational testing. Where applicable, GEOTEK tests custom applications to assure PUPI crossarms will meet customer specifications. Test summaries are in the technical appendix. Detailed test results are available upon request. 8

10 WHY PUPI WHY PUPI ENGINEERED FOR EXCELLENCE THE FIBERGLASS ADVANTAGE PUPI crossarms are engineered for consistent strength and reliability. Our crossarms are designed and manufactured using a fiberglass pultrusion process that minimizes material and process variation. Proven fiberglass field performance in every climate. Hundreds of thousands of PUPI fiberglass crossarms are at work in a wide range of environments throughout North America and around the world. From hot, wet and dry climates to extreme cold not a single PUPI crossarm has failed due to environmental degradation. PUPI Crossarms are environmentally-friendly. Our fiberglass utility products are an environmentally-friendly alternative to wood. They are long-lasting, and require no harmful chemicals as preservatives. 9

11 WHY PUPI ENGINEERED FOR EXCELLENCE WHY PUPI PUPI FIBERGLASS VS. WOOD CROSSARMS Wood beams, even when carefully specified to control defects, still show considerable natural variances and deteriorate over time. PUPI FIBERGLASS: Up to 6 times stronger Up to half the weight and easy to install Three levels of UV protection Excellent dielectric properties Environmentally safe materials Impervious to insects & woodpeckers Free from splinters 60+ year service life in all climates 10

12 WHY PUPI WHY PUPI ENGINEERED FOR EXCELLENCE DESIGNED FOR EASE OF USE PUPI fiberglass crossarms are designed for field-ready flexibility and easy, efficient installation. A crossarm 60 feet in the air, weighing half the weight of a treated wood beam can make a big difference. PUPI tangents, deadends and transmission arms are ergonomically engineered for the unique demands your field teams face day in and day out. Available in standard drill patterns, or made to order and drilled to your specifications, PUPI crossarms are available with exclusive crush-resistant TorqueGUARD bushings that can withstand over 450 ft-lbs of bolt-tightening torque. Light weight for less fatigue and splinter-free for safer handling. Compared to heavier wood or other composite beams, PUPI fiberglass crossarms can take less half the time to install because they re designed to use fewer parts and pieces without any special tools and linemen aren t exposed to creosote, chromated copper arsenate (CCA) and other chemicals used in treated wood. The closed-cell sealant that fills every PUPI crossarm allows field drilling when necessary. From safer insulating properties to impact-resistant end caps, your field teams can rely on PUPI crossarms for superior strength and consistent performance in any climate. With three levels of UV and weathering protection you can expect less maintenance and fewer replacements. PUPI crossarms are built to last 60 or more years in any climate with the longest field experience track record to prove it.

PUPI mechanical properties are available for electrical utility engineers and designers. A PUPI properties library file is available for use with PLS-POLE design software. 11

13 WHY PUPI ENGINEERED FOR EXCELLENCE WHY PUPI SOLID RETURN ON INVESTMENT Count on PUPI fiberglass crossarms to deliver a stronger ROI over time than wood. Right from the start, material cost of a PUPI deadend can be less than a wood deadend assembly. PUPI tangents are a great value, too. When you consider initial material cost and installation, ongoing maintenance and replacement cost, PUPI fiberglass crossarms deliver a better long-term return on investment than wood or other composite beams. PUPI crossarms deliver proven field performance with the longest fiberglass track record to prove it. You ll see fewer replacements over time and less maintenance costs. From tangents to transmission arms, you can spec PUPI crossarm size and drill configurations to meet your exact performance requirements. PUPI crossarms are engineered for the unique demands of the utility industry with three levels of weathering protection and unique features like exclusive TorqueGUARD bushings, impact-resistant end caps, and beams sealed with closed-cell foam to prevent moisture contamination. Because PUPI crossarms are lightweight for easier handling -- it takes less man-hours for your field crews to install and maintain a PUPI crossarm than a wood crossarm. It all adds up to a better ROI you can count on year in and year out. 12
