Service life compared
How long does pine last in the ground?
The values show approximate service lives of pine in contact with the ground; they vary with climate, soil and care.
- Untreated pine
- The butt starts to soften in the first years.
- about 5 years
- Vacuum-pressure treated pine
- Protection sits inside the sapwood.
- up to 50 years

A short glossary
Talking about wood
- Sapwood
- The outer, lighter part of the trunk; the part that takes treatment best.
- Heartwood
- The darker part at the centre of the trunk; naturally more durable.
- Taper
- How much a pole narrows from butt to top.
- Sag
- How far a wire hangs down between two poles.
- Class
- The thickness of a pole of a given length: light, medium, heavy.

AKÇ Grup: Work That Comes from the Forest
AKÇ Grup is a group working with forest products in Akdağmadeni, a district of Yozgat. We turn pine into poles that carry power lines, supports that keep mines standing, timber that forms the roofs and formwork of houses, and stakes that enclose vineyards and gardens.
One thought ties all these products together: wood serves for many years when it is protected well. That is why we impregnate every product exposed to soil, rain and insects by the vacuum-pressure method, so the protection does not stay on the surface but works its way into the wood. For poles, we set the sizes by the classes of the TS EN 14229 standard.
