No cookie-cutter approach. We work with you to identify exactly what information is needed and build the collection database to your spec.

How We Inspect

Industry-Standard Methods

01

Visual Inspection

Comprehensive above-ground assessment of pole condition, hardware, attachments, and surrounding environment. Identifies visible rot, cracks, corrosion, and vegetation hazards.

02

Sound Testing

Hammer-based acoustic testing to detect internal decay and hollow sections not visible from the surface. A critical step in determining structural integrity.

03

Bore Testing

Drill-based sampling to extract core material and assess internal wood condition. Provides direct evidence of decay depth and remaining strength.

04

Partial Excavation

Ground-line excavation to expose and inspect the below-grade section of the pole — the most vulnerable zone for decay and moisture damage.

Our Approach

We Don't Trust Desktop Interpretations.

Our crews capture overhead and underground assets with GPS-located, photo-documented field surveys, supplemented by drone imagery and hand-verified inventory.
