Bellingham, WA company produces wood crossarms for utilities with environmentally advanced preservative.
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Viance, a leading innovator in the wood preservation industry, announces Brooks Manufacturing has begun production of crossarms with UltraArm™ NXT at their manufacturing facility in Bellingham, Washington. Serving utilities across the country, Douglas fir crossarms will now be treated with the environmentally advanced UltraArm NXT with DCOI.
DCOI is the active ingredient, whose properties are also used in Ecolife® residential decking, marine antifouling paint, shower curtains and many other consumer products.
Brooks has built their reputation for manufacturing quality crossarms, earned through years of active involvement working with utilities and industry associations to develop standards which meet the critical demands of the electric utility industry. Brooks’ crossarm products and transmission framing components are available in a wide variety of sizes and applications.
