Inspection Process
TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGE
Our analysis algorithms have been developed with real pole breaking data in conjunction with Mississippi State University (MSU). Our R&D group is recognized industry-wide for its ground-breaking research. This process uses time of flight and peak energy of ultrasound to determine if there are inconsistencies on the inside of a pole. Industry leading cloud data warehouse (GRIDMGR) and field data collection (Analyzer App) ensure we have the technology backbone to collect and report upon both NDE and standard pole inspection data.
PROCESS EXCELLENCE
Every pole is exposed to a unique environment once it has been installed. These local conditions affect each pole in a unique way, so we believe that an auditable, standards based process is as important as technology for a successful, robust pole inspection program. Our technology applications track and report on key metrics surrounding your process including audit details such as inspector GPS location.
Our R&D team broke dozens of poles at MSU to help develop our ultrasound algorithms.
INSPECTION EXPERIENCE
Where possible, Utility Asset Management Inc. will partner with a utility's local contractors to provide utilities with local knowledge and experience. We reinforce this with some of the most experienced pole inspectors in the industry for training and audits. Our audit managers have between 13 and 44 years' experience in the utility industry. By ensuring our inspection projects are reviewed by highly qualified inspector supervisors, we aim to provide the most robust inspection possible.
