A successful wood utility pole inspection program relies on several crucial components
Assessing the Condition of the Wooden Pole
This involves accurately evaluating the pole's condition to identify any decay or defects.
Estimating Strength Using Golden Retriever Software
Genics technicians use the Golden Retriever software to analyze the condition of deteriorating poles and assess their strength under different loads. This software considers the severity and location of decay to determine the percentage of remaining strength for weakened poles.
Applying Effective Remedial Treatments
Effective remedial treatments are crucial for prolonging the safe and reliable service life of the pole. These treatments not only extend the pole's lifespan but also enhance the resilience of the overall infrastructure, maximizing a utility's investment in the asset. Genics products can treat and protect the pole against all types of degradation.
Additional T&T Department Services
Genics field services division has performed inspection and treatment services for over 20 utilities over the span of 30 years.
Genics crews have inspected over 2.7 million poles during this time.
Genics owns all the equipment for freight hauling of treatment products. By handling all shipping and logistics in-house, Genics crews are never reliant on third parties, negating the possibility for delays/downtime.
