IRON DUCTILE POLES Market Production Differentiation Corrosion: Steel vs Ductile Iron Weathering Steel Natural Ductile Iron vs • Ductile iron is expected to last 50 to 100 percent longer than weathering steel in normal applications. • When DI is exposed to oxygen, it forms an oxide layer that protects the metal from further corrosion. This concept is similar to how copper and aluminum conductor or the statue of liberty behave. The green color of the Statue of Liberty is a patina that is formed during oxidation, which protects the statue from further corrosion. Sales Manual • 2021 57

IRON DUCTILE POLES Market Production Differentiation • The reason that ductile iron last so long is that, when exposed to oxygen, it forms an oxide layer that protects the metal from further corrosion. This concept is similar to how copper and aluminum conductor or the statue of liberty behave. The green color of the Statue of Liberty is a patina that is formed during oxidation, and the patina protects the statue from further corrosion. • Pictures two and three are of the oldest functioning light house in the US. It is made of iron and is supported by the original piling that were installed in 1852. This shows just how resistant to corrosion iron is.

Market Production Differentiation Corrosion: Wood vs Ductile Iron • Not fire resistant • Ground line rot • Woodpeckers • Certain treatments, such as Pentachlorophenol, can leak into the ground water and affect public safety. Corrosion Examples Used in many applications where durability, corrosion resistance and strength are required. Applications that might apply: • Manhole covers • Grating • Automotive and industrial components • Water and wastewater piping • Electrical transmission and distribution hardware Sales Manual • 2021 59

IRON DUCTILE POLES Market Production Differentiation • There are environmental impacts of wood pole treatments. Certain treatments, such as Pentachlorophenol, can leach into the ground water and affect public safety. • McWane’s ceramic-epoxy embedment coating and ductile iron pole material are certified by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) to be safe for use in contact with potable water sources. McWane Poles have been used for projects where poles are placed near well water for this reason. McWane Poles, A Division of McWane Inc. 60

The Design Pole Design and Testing • PLS Pole • NESC Grade B • 5% LEL McWane Poles were designed in PLS Pole software, and pole strengths have been verified by third-parties including NEETRAC, Unified Testing Services, and Hardy Engineering. Pole libraries are available in PLS, SPIDA, and O-Calc. upon request. • McWane Poles are designed to have a strength equivalent to ANSI O5.1 wood pole classes after the .65 de-rate applied by NESC Grade B construction. • The nominal strength of McWane Poles is the 5% lower exclusion limit (5% LEL) – the point where 95% of all poles exceed the nominal strength. Property of McWane, Inc. - Please Treat as Confidential Sales Manual • 2021 61

IRON DUCTILE POLES The Design The Finish • McWane offers a bare or “weathered” finish and a coated finish. The weathered finish pole is expected to last 75 years in normal conditions. The appearance is similar to a weathering steel pole, however ductile iron does not product the same rusty run off as weathering steel and will not deteriorate like weathering steel. • The coated finish is a two-part coating. First, zinc is arc-applied, and then an acrylic barrier coat is applied. This coating is more expensive than the weathered finish, and it is commonly used in areas where customers want the look of galvanized steel or new concrete poles. This coating will add to the life of the pole in particularly corrosive environments like the Florida Keys. The zinc and acrylic finish is available in gray, black, and dark brown. • All poles come with a ceramic-epoxy embedment coating that is applied from one foot above the ground line, down to the base of the pole, on the inside and outside of the pole. The ceramic-epoxy coating has been used to protect DI in waste pipe applications for decades. The coating will not undercut or peel off. It is much more robust than urethane coatings.

The Design Full-Scale Testing The next few slides are of a recent full-scale destructive test conducted at McWane’s Ohio facility and certified by Tim Hardy, PE. The test was performed by fixing the base of the pole and pulling on the pole at a point 2’ from the tip. Poles were pulled to class load, relieved of load, and then loaded again until ultimate failure. Sales Manual • 2021 63

IRON DUCTILE POLES The Design: Full-Scale Testing This slide shows a chart of the deflection (X axis) as the tip load is applied (Y axis). The yield point occurred just after the load exceeds the pole class load (2.95 kips), and the ultimate failure – when the pole breaks – occurred at nearly 5 kips and 160% of class load.

DUCTILE IRON POLES The Design Full-Performance Testing McWane has completed the following testing of their product to give their customers an understanding of how it may perform in certain situations. Completed Studies* • Western Fire Center, Inc. • Induron Coating Performance • Heat Exposure Testing (In Process) Copper theft is increasingly an issue for utilities, and a lost ground can be a public safety issue. Keep in mind that DI poles are conductive so no ground wire is required to run the length of the pole. AEP tested a common distribution pole size and found that DI poles are more conductive than a 4/0 copper wire. McWane Poles, A Division of McWane Inc. 68

Installation Ductile iron poles are simple to install with most of the same equipment used to install wood poles. If a sling is being used to lift poles, we recommend nylon slings instead of a chain. Cross arms will need a mounting bracket that can fit the curved pole face since the DI poles are not gained. • Holes are drilled in the factory based on customer specification. If a hole needs to be drilled in the field, ductile iron poles are the easiest to drill of any non- wood poles. Line crews have even said that DI poles are easier to drill than wood! • The Milwaukee Hole Saw bit on the top is our preferred bit. The bit on the bottom is a two-in-one drill and tap bit that can be used to tap a threaded hole in the field. See Tech Note: Drill Bits for part numbers. Sales Manual • 2021 69

DUCTILE IRON POLES Installation Field Assembly Poles that are 70’ and less are shipped fully assembled unless the customer specifies differently. Above 70’, poles are shipped in two pieces and are assembled in the field. Above is a picture of two pieces being jacked together with our jacking lugs. See Field Assembly Technical Note. McWane Poles, A Division of McWane Inc. 70

DUCTILE IRON POLES Case Studies Durability, longevity and strength are the most common reasons why utilities choose ductile iron poles. DI poles are usually more expensive than wood when only comparing first costs. However, the total cost savings and peace of mind from using ductile iron poles comes from eliminating the frequent and high cost to change out wood poles. • In Sylacauga, AL the Utilities Board has taken the approach of installing ductile iron poles for all critical and asset poles. Due to the short life of wood poles and the high cost to change out these applications, use of DI poles will save Sylacauga money. This is very common approach by our customers. Sales Manual • 2021 71

DUCTILE IRON POLES Case Studies In western Oklahoma a storm-hardening pole is often used as a standard practice for new construction. This utility installs four ductile iron per mile to prevent pole cascading. For example, Cimarron Electric Cooperative took a proactive approach to strengthening its distribution system and saved its members millions of dollars by preventing system cascading during the holiday ice storms of 2015.  Cimarron now incorporates ductile iron poles into its routine construction practices and installs two ductile iron poles per mile for single-phase construction and four poles per mile for three-phase construction. McWane Poles, A Division of McWane Inc. 72

Case Studies • The Keys Energy Service (KEYS) used DI poles to replace wood and concrete as part of the utility’s pole replacement program. Because of DI’s light weight, KEYS saves money over concrete on the total installation cost. The former Director of Engineering, Dale Finigan, said that the crew would mutiny if it had to go back to concrete poles. For example, Keys Energy Service used ductile iron poles to storm harden its system, and the utility did not lose a single one of them when it was hit by Hurricane Irma – the worst storm to hit the Florida Keys in more than fifty years.  Because of this, KEYS called on McWane to supply all of the poles to rebuild its system. McWane responded. The team worked overtime and weekends to supply 200 poles within three weeks. After power was restored, Finigan said, “we could not have done it without McWane’s help.” Sales Manual • 2021 73

If a DI pole lasts only twice as long as this wood pole (60 years in this case), using a DI pole would still save the utility money in this application. • Many applications are going to cost much more than $2,000 to change out, and in many applications wood poles are not going to last 30 years. • What are your highest cost applications to change out? Does it make sense to install a ductile iron poles there? • Relative to the slide above, cooperatives will have a lower discount rate (borrowing rate), making DI look better. IOUs will have a higher discount rate, making DI look less advantageous. McWane Poles, A Division of McWane Inc. 74

Two-piece poles shall have the minimum overlap distance permanently marked on the male section. 1.4 Fabrication A. Poles shall be fabricated out of centrifugally cast, ductile iron components. Poles shall be tapered and shall have a slip fit joint assembly. Poles shall be made with the fewest sections possible to meet specified pole configuration. Pole sections shall be slip-fitted together with a minimum 30- ton press to a minimum overlap of 1.5 times the inside diameter of the female section. The air gap between adjoining sections shall be no more than 1/8” on any side. B. Field assembly of two-piece poles is standard for poles longer that 70’ poles and available for shorter poles. Two-piece poles shall have two jacking holes on each piece and holes for a through- bolt connection installed prior to shipment. After completion of the field slip fit (see technical note for Field Assembly), a 5/8” Grade A through-bolted shall be installed through the overlapping joint sections. The field assembly bolt shall be installed in the female section of the two-piece pole prior to pole shipment. C. All pole sections will be inspected to ensure minimum thickness by pole class and visually checked for casting imperfections (See CTQ document for criteria) prior to assembly. D. Base plates and caps shall be attached to the pole by mechanical (e.g. screwed), fusion (e.g. welding), friction (e.g. interference fit) or other suitable means. HDPE or TPE caps shall be secured with a self-tapping screw. Base plate radius must not exceed the pole base radius by more than ¼” unless otherwise specified. E. Total length of factory assembled poles shall not deviate by more than +3” or -2” of the specified length when assembled. F. The pole sweep (from the butt to the end of the pole) may deviate from being perfectly straight by 3/8 inches per 10 feet of length. The deviation shall be limited to only one plane in one direction. G. Pin joints will be located on the 0° and 180° axes, 6” above the edge of the joint. If the pin joint conflicts with a customer-specified hole, the pin joint shall be moved to the 45°axis. It is also allowable that the point join be move 2” towards to tip or the base of the pole if it necessary to avoid a conflict with another hole. Welding H. No structural welds are required or allowed on ductile iron pole fabrications. Non- structural welds such as the attachment of base plates and caps are allowed provided that the welding occurs in a non-loaded area (i.e. below the ground line or above the top most load). Sales Manual • 2021 83

SPECIFICATIONS 1.5 Hole Formation A. Holes placed in the walls of ductile iron poles shall be drilled or machined in such a manner that excessive heat is not generated in the fabrication process. Hole locations and diameters will be determined by the product drawings approved by the customer. Hole tolerances are as follows: 1. +/- 1/4 inch of the stated distance to the top of the pole 2. +/- 1/8 inch of the specified location 3. + 1/16 inch of the stated diameter of the hole 4. 3” between center of holes Any deviations from the tolerances above will require approval from management. 1.6 Ground Connections: A. Rivet nut ground connection shall be formed by drilling an 11/16” hole in the desired location and inserting a 1/2-13 UNC-2B Rivet Nut into the hole. All rivet nuts installed below grade shall be 300 series austenitic stainless-steel construction. B. Threaded hole ground connection shall be formed with a 27/64” bit and 1/2” 13 UNC tap. All threaded holes will be greased with a conductive antioxidant and plugged with a temporary plastic plug (Fastenal part number 11191779). C. Ground location will be 14” above ground line unless otherwise specified by the customer. 1.7 Bundling A. Poles shall be bundled using wood dunnage. Wedges shall be installed between every pole and secured by nails. Poles shall be placed within the bundle so that there is no metal-to-metal contact. If poles are coated, dunnage and chocks shall be covered with polyethylene foam sheeting. Poles shall be touched up and free from marking prior to shipment. B. Bundles containing weathered and coated poles shall have coated poles arranged on top. A pole shall not overhang another pole in the bundle by more than 10’. C. The maximum weight of a truckload with poles 60’ in length or less is 42,000 pounds, and the maximum weight of a truckload with poles longer than 60’ is 38,000 pounds. D. Pole layers may be bundled in alternating direction to minimize the total height of the truckload. Total bundle stack height must not exceed 13’ 6” from the ground.

The grounding plates shall be coated with an arc applied zinc for additional corrosion protection. This zinc shall be applied at a rate no less than 0.08 grams per square inch. C. Grounding plates shall be affixed to the ductile iron pole by at least two ½ inch threaded holes. Sales Manual • 2021 87

SPECIFICATIONS 2.4 Performance and Classification A. Ductile iron poles shall be classified according to the maximum allowable tip load (minimum pole capacity) as established by ANSI 5.1 for wood poles and as modified by the National Electric Safety Code (NESC) for Grade B installations. B. Ductile iron poles shall be designed to handle NESC Grade B Wood Pole equivalent design loads. These loads are lateral tip loads and shall be applied 2 feet from the tip of the pole. The pole shall be considered to have an embed depth of 10% of the pole length plus 2 feet. Class NESC Grade B Wood Pole (ANSI 5.1) Equivalent Tip Loads (lbs) Tip Load 5 4 3 2 1 H1 H2 H3 H4 H5 H6 1235 1560 1950 2405 2925 3510 4160 4875 5655 6500 7410 2.5 Failure Mode A. Poles shall be considered to have failed when the yield strength of the pole has been reached. This is the point where permanent deformation has occurred. This criteria applies whether the deformation is visible or not. B. All poles shall be designed such that when they are loaded beyond the yield point, the pole shall not absolutely fail (cease to be able to support significant load) by any method other than ultimate tensile failure (fracture). This gives a predictable overload capacity for the pole. Poles shall be so designed such that they will not encounter a buckling failure mode. C. The failure mode shall be verified by independent testing or testing witnessed by independent observers recognized as knowledgeable in the field of mechanical engineering. 2.6 Submittals A. Unless noted otherwise in the Inquiry or Purchase Order, the pole manufacturer shall provide fabrication drawings in the format shown in this document.

TECHNICAL NOTES Sales Manual • 2021 95

TECHNICAL NOTES Drilling Poles The following are steps for field drilling ductile iron poles. Below are the recommended drill bits that have performed significantly better than all other drill bits tested. Drilling: Step 1: Apply steady pressure with pilot bit to drill through the wall of the pole. Step 2: Immediately after the pilot bit goes through the wall, remove pressure. Do not make impact with hole saw bit on the face of the pole. NOTE: Making impact on with hole saw immediately after pilot bit will cause the pilot bit to bind and break. Step 3: Square hole saw bit to the face of the pole and apply 5-10 pounds of pressure on the hole saw bit and drill until the bit cuts through the wall of the pole. NOTE: Pressing too hard on the hole saw bit will significantly reduce the life of the hole saw bit and will not speed up the drilling process. NOTE: With proper technique, the pilot and hole saw combination should last more than 75 holes.

Field Assembly The following are guidelines for field assembly of two-piece McWane poles. These Field Assembly Instructions supersede any prior guidelines. In addition, respective company and equipment guidelines should be followed. Assembly equipment required includes a McWane Poles Jacking Kit, two chain hoists, a drill and 11/16” drill bit, and two wrenches. Jacking Kits are available for purchase from McWane Poles. Jacking Kit contents include four (4) jacking lugs, two (2) 5/8” Grade 5 bolts, four (4) washers, and two (2) 5/8” nuts. Jacking Kits are reusable as long as the members are not used improperly or damaged. Additionally, a 5/8” through-bolt, washer, and nut are provided with each two-piece pole to mechanically secure the slip joint and sections after they slipped together. Assembly Steps: Step 1: Align pole sections, making sure the serial number of the top pole piece (located on the pole top tag) and the serial number of the bottom piece (located on the tag above ground line) match and the pole quadrants are aligned. A “B” line will be marked on the top and bottom piece of the pole at the joint. Step 2: Attach four (4) jacking lugs to pole sections at the jacking hole locations with the 5/8” Grade 5 bolts. WARNING: Tighten nuts to between 110 and 150 ft-lbs. of torque and verify that jacking lug plates are tight against pole surface. IF NUT BOTTOMS OUT ON THREADS, DO NOT PROCEED. A SHORTER BOLT IS REQUIRED. Step 3: Connect two chain hoists to jacking lugs. Step 4: Jack pole sections together with two chain hoists simultaneously. Sections should be jacked with a force equal to the anticipated axial load. WARNING: do not exceed 10,000 pounds of tension force in each of the chain hoists. Ensure that the minimum overlap is reached and no gap larger than 1/8” remains between adjoining sections. Insertion depth could be greater than specified minimum insertion depth depending on pole class. If more than 20,000 lbs. of combined assembly force is needed for the pole application, please contact your McWane Poles representative. Step 5: Drill through the inserted section at hole locations provided in receiving section. Remove pilot bit from hole saw bit to avoid breaking pilot bit when drilling hole for through-bolt. Step 6: Insert through-bolt through holes in section overlap and tighten nut to between 80 and 100 ft- lbs. of torque. Helpful Tips: • Field assembly may affect specified pre-drilled hole measurement on the bottom section of the structure depending on the amount of overlap of sections. Sales Manual • 2021 97

TECHNICAL NOTES Pictured Above: Four jacking lugs are attached with bolts provided with the McWane jacking kit. Chain hoists are connected to jacking lugs and in position for section assembly. The 17” mark indicates the minimum section insertion amount for the example pole, which along with the B axis will be clearly marked by the factory. The minimum insertion amount will be based upon pole length and section number. The inserting section should be inserted to the minimum overlap mark. Pictured Above: The inserting section reaches the minimum of 17” for the C1 65’. The through-bolt hole in the receiving section can be seen three inches from the joint.

Reliability-Based Pole Design Summary Ductile iron is a material not recognized by the National Electric Safety Code (NESC). McWane’s ductile iron poles have been designed in PLS POLE software using ASCE 48, which is a standard applicable only to cold rolled steel structures. McWane needs to establish the nominal strength of the ductile iron pole using ASCE 111, a manual adopted by NESC that provides methods for deriving and documenting the strength of utility structures made of new materials. The intent of ASCE 111 is to correct the problem of inconsistent reliabilities among different pole types. The completion and documentation of this exercise will provide McWane and potential customers with confidence in the strength of the ductile iron pole. Test Methods ASCE 111 defines nominal resistance (Rn) of a utility structure as the 5% lower exclusion limit (LEL). The 5% LEL nominal strength (a 5th percentile) is a capacity that 5% of structures do not meet. For a normal density function, the 5th percentile is 1.645 standard deviations below the mean: R5 = m – 1.645 (m x COV) where COV = Std. Dev / Mean ASCE 111 presents three methods for deriving nominal strength: 1) an empirical analysis based on fullscale testing, 2) a theoretical analysis with mechanics-based models used in conjunction with Monte Carlo simulation (if necessary), and 3) a default assignment of material distribution parameters. The Empirical Method is especially applicable to wood because of the variable nature of wood poles. The Mechanics Based Models are appropriate for steel and concrete poles because of the relatively uniform material. Default Assignment is used when there is insufficient data of a pole material. Default Assignment is the most conservative approach. Because ductile iron is relatively consistent and because assembling a database of full-sized pole tests (Empirical Method) would be cost prohibitive, the Mechanics-Based Model is the appropriate test method for deriving the nominal strength of ductile iron poles. Mechanics-Based Model Basic material properties (thickness, yield strength, and diameter) can be used in conjunction with a model to estimate the nominal pole strength of ductile iron poles. If no covariation exists [and none is expected] between the basic material properties sampled, variance of a strictly linear model can be estimated as the sum of variances of the individual input parameters, eliminating the need for simulation. Strength will be defined as the moment capacity of the pole at a given pole cross section. The assumed model for moment capacity for a ductile iron tube follows: Bending Moment Capacity (MOM) = Yield strength [FY] x Section Modulus [S] S = Moment of Inertia [I] / Radius [C] I = (Pi/64) x (OD^4 – ID^4) The moment capacity model needs to be confirmed through a full-scale pole breaking test. To confirm the moment capacity model, the actual moment capacity at the point of ultimate pole failure needs to equal the calculated moment capacity based on the material properties observed at the point of ultimate failure. Material Sampling The greater the sample size, the more accurate the estimation of the pole strength. The proposed initial Sales Manual • 2021 99

TECHNICAL NOTES database will include 100 material samples. Material data samples collected need to represent pole production, therefore the selection of samples needs to be proportional to the number and types of poles and pole sections sold. From the 100 samples, wall thickness, diameter, yield strength, distance from pole tip of diameter measurement, and pole class and length should be recorded. Samples should be taken from poles or sections after all quality inspections are performed so the samples represent poles that would actually be shipped to customers. Material samples for sections 3-8 can be obtained from the portion of sections that are scrapped when poles are cut to length. Sections 1 and 2 can be collected from unused sections or from poles that have been rejected for non-structural reasons. Ratio of Calculated to Design Moment Values A table will be generated with 100 ratios of Calculated Moments to Design Moments. The Calculated Moments will be derived by plugging the observed material properties (thickness, diameter, and yield strength) of a given sample into the Bending Moment Capacity formula above. The following is an example of a Calculated Moment capacity at a given cross-section: Thickness: .29 inches Diameter: 13.26 inches Yield Strength = 42,000 psi I = (3.1416/64) x ((13.26 inches)^4 – (12.68 inches)^4) = 248.66 inches^4 S = 248.66 inches^4 / 6.63 inches = 37.50 inches^3 MOM = S x FY MOM = 37.50 inches^3 x 42,000 psi = 1,575,092 inch-pounds MOM = 1,575,092 inch-pounds x 1 foot / 12 inches = 131,257 foot-pounds and 131.3 foot-kips The Design Moment will be the moment based on the PLS Pole design model’s material properties for the same pole with a cross sections that is the same distance from the tip as the sampled pole. Sample Calculated MOM Design MOM Ratio 1 131.3 125 1.050 2 77 78 0/987 100 34 23 1.478 The resulting 100 ratios will be used to calculate the mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variability, and ultimately the 5% LEL and nominal strength as a ratio of the PLS Pole design strength. After the initial sampling and calculation of nominal strength, ongoing sampling should be conducted to increase the database and increase confidence in the estimated nominal pole strength. Section Sampling Plan Sections to be sampled will be a representation of sections and poles shipped in the previous 12 months. McWane Poles, A Division of McWane Inc. 100
