Fire resistant composite pole

A method for forming a composite pole, the method comprising:

• rotating a mandrel between a first support and a second support;
• moving a delivery ring back and forth across the mandrel;
• laying down a resin layer and a layer of fiberglass rovings in a helical fashion and at prescribed angles relative to the main axis of the mandrel;
• wherein the resin and fiberglass layers are applied using filament winding;
• wherein the fireproof layer is wound into the applied layers;
• wherein the initial layer of fiberglass rovings is applied at an initial angle;
• wherein the initial comprises an angle between 0°-90°;
• wherein the initial layer of fiberglass rovings are applied in 5-15 bands at the initial angle to produce a first layer length of 360″;
• wherein the first layer ends approximately 216″ from the top from the mandrel;
• changing the angle of the mandrel to a second angle;
• wherein the angle of the mandrel is moved 1°-30° to produce the second angle;
• and
• applying a second layer of fiberglass rovings onto the mandrel;
• wherein the second layer of fiberglass rovings are applied in 5-15 bands to produce a second layer length of 390″;
• wherein the second layer ends approximately 192″ from the top from the mandrel.
