Pole Inspection with the ResistographThe Resistograph is revolutionizing the utility pole inspection
industry. Utility poles require regular inspections to evaluate the
quality of the timber and level of wood decay present to help determine
whether the pole should be replaced. Most pole inspection services use
primitive techniques that do not measure or record wood decay. More
sophisticated procedures are needed to gather accurate data to assess a
pole’s life span.
Pole Inspection below ground
The Resistograph provides an exact measurement of the current condition
of the inspected utility pole. The instrument is positioned at the
base to measure wood decay at the ground level. The inspector then
attaches the 45° adapter to measure and record the wood density below
ground level. With this technology, digging is no longer required and
many times, costly reinforcement of the pole is avoided. |
