This is one of the most wonderful amazing videos I have seen. The potentials of this product and betterment of life, especially I live in NM where poles are necessary and some always tilt. Wow. And how does it work against the soil? Is it soft or hard? Just amazing. Thank you.

Thanks for the positive feedback, Chris!

But how long will that foam last. if it can be easily broken up with a shovel, it doesn't look very solid.

[@bmkproducts]

We do not have a definitive answer, but suspect it is eternal. BMK Corporation has been in existence more than 30 years, and we know the foam lasts that long.

So actually....the truck does the straightening.

Do they not use locates?

No levels used

Hi! At 3:22 you’ll see the lineman using his plumb line to verify that the pole is straight.

Fake: Will last only for 3 to 5 years. Have bee seen 2 or 3 WORKERS for small things to do. Why? Plus th boss watching... of course.😱😱😱😬. How much cost "straightened thing" for only 3 to 5 years? Foam? What? I just can't believe it.

[@bmkproducts]

We do not have a definitive answer on the longevity of Polecrete Stabilizer and our other foam pole setting products, but suspect it is forever. BMK Products has been in existence since 1988, and we know that foam used in installations from that time has lasted until the present day.

This is why buildings collapse ! good god pay for old school digging and footings please!!!

[@bmkproducts]

Hi Roger, We aren't advocating using polyurethane foam for building construction or replacing concrete footings for construction. What we are advocating is the use of this product for straightening leaning utility poles or even the setting of new utility poles. We've been at this for more than 30 years, and we're happy to report that in that time not a single failure due to our foam not performing as designed has ever occurred.
