What's the best way to assess and maintain your utility's pole assets? For many electric utilities, the decision has been guided without strong empirical data to back the choice of inspection process. To provide the industry with more current insights, Osmose just completed a monumental study, with 13,000 poles visited and 80,000 inspections performed, to reevaluate inspection types with a more involved process at a scale never seen. This is the largest collection of effectiveness data for traditional inspection methods ever assembled.
