Creosoting Extends Timber Life in Telegraph Poles and Sleepers
Chief electrician W HL Vreeve explains creosote doubles timber life. Uncreosoted telegraph poles last about seven years while creosoted poles endure seventy miles of line and remain sound after years. Great Western sleepers rise from five to eight to ten years with creosoting. In tropical regions timber decays rapidly from shipworm pests, while creosoted piles on U S coasts last five to six years versus two for uncreosoted. Overall creosoting roughly doubles timber life with modest added cost.
