Products may be manufactured by accelerated curing, water curing, membrane curing or steam curing, then prestressed and reinforced. Water used for curing, washing aggregates, and mixing concrete should be free from substances in amounts that may be harmful to concrete or steel. Poles should be designed to carry all the forces associated with prestressing, handling, storage, installation, loading, and other service conditions.
