Within the regular recommended inspection schedule of approximately every eight years, our first step in this detailed process is to provide an overall visual safety inspection of the entire pole structure. This would include drilling strategically placed holes into the pole to determine the integrity of the wooden core, including applying the wood salt based, or appropriate material preservative to prevent wood rot or insect infestation.

This inspection is generally completed annually, allowing our experienced and certified inspection specialists to ascertain hardware conditions, broken and or deteriorating cross arms or any obvious structural damage. We identify any immediate hazards resulting from storm damage or any other conditions that may be of concern.

Regardless of whether the transformer is above ground or below ground, it is visually inspected for any damage, vegetation encroachment, lock or hardware compromises and other issues that may be identified.

These reports are generated on individual poles. During the test and treat stage, using integrated computer software systems, we track and provide information for immediate or future pole replacement concerns where indicated.

Our services can provide a simple inspection report for wooden docks, wooden bridges, wooden netting poles for golf courses and any other wooden pole structures that address vital safety concerns.

In the lifetime of a wooden pole, it is inevitable due to rot/insects/mechanical damage/ storms and disaster, that the pole made need replacing outside of it’s usual life cycle. When the danger pole is identified, we immediately provide a detailed report of how quickly the pole needs to be repaired or replaced providing beneficial cost savings and assuring safety to yourself and the general public.
