THOR Poletest™ delivers a complete, data-driven, and non-destructive solution for assessing the health of timber utility poles—empowering engineers and asset managers to make faster, safer, and more confident decisions.
Using advanced Stress Wave Propagation (SWP) technology, it enables engineers to assess structural integrity and pole health under a minute—without damaging the pole. The system combines a rugged field kit with a secure, cloud-based data portal, allowing users to visualise, rank, and manage their entire pole network with confidence.
THOR replaces subjective methods with auditable, data-driven results, giving asset managers the clarity they need to make smarter, safer, and more cost-effective decisions.
Data-driven Asset Intelligence

Provides 100% objective and traceable data, eliminating reliance on subjective assessments and reducing human error.
Ensures consistent measurement standards across all field teams and testing environments.
2. Advanced Condition Monitoring
Delivers Pole Health Index ( PHI™) for structural integrity assessment.
3. Actionable Insights and Comparability
Enables ranking and comparison of pole assets across networks or regions.
Supports custom in-field threshold management for real-time decision-making.
4. Strategic Data Development
Builds high-value proprietary datasets that enhance long-term asset intelligence.
Facilitates time-based timber studies to monitor degradation and performance trends.
Supports timber species-specific analysis and custom data processing.
5. Flexible Integration and Broader Applications
Incorporates custom and customer-supplied environmental data layers for enhanced analysis.
Offers bespoke testing services for non-utility applications and specialized studies.
THOR Portal
The THOR Portal transforms raw pole data into meaningful insights—giving you a clear view of your network’s condition at a glance. Designed to support smarter decision-making, it enables asset managers to prioritise action, optimise budgets, and reduce risk across the board.
An intuitive traffic light system highlights poles that require attention, while built-in scenario planning tools allow you to model how changes in your “pass” or “fail” criteria impact your asset strategy. With GIS-enabled location tracking and secure cloud access, your entire network is mapped, monitored, and managed—from anywhere, at any time.
