26 reasons why knowing the strength of an entire utility pole is critical!
Unlike other measurements that reflect sectional pole condition at a single point of test only, PHI™ is the measure of pole strength and serviceability for the entire pole from it’s base to tip. PHI™ is exclusive to NDT testing using Thor Poletest™
Seattle City Light did a great job of handling the incident (see the report and full coverage here link to report), but like other networks have not had access to accurate condition data like PHI™. Seattle City Light have historically had to rely on “judgement” and subjective inspection techniques including sounding and drilling to make critical pole safety decisions.
Thor Poletest™ is available in many states across the USA and we welcome the opportunity to talk with networks and municipalities that are motivated to make objective asset management decisions using accurate data. Contact us here now.
