Pole Inspections

System-wide inspection programs, run before storms find the weak poles.

SPE runs system-wide pole inspection programs for utilities on a scheduled cycle — not just after a storm.

Inspectors check pole condition at ground line, hardware, and attachments, and flag poles that need replacement or reinforcement before they fail.

Findings feed directly into the utility's maintenance planning, so the poles that get replaced are the ones that would have gone down in the next event.

Scope of work

  • Ground-line inspection and sounding
  • Hardware and attachment checks
  • Condition reporting and replacement flagging
