What stays with your engineer
Your engineer sets the loading criteria, reviews every model and seals the results. We build the models. We do not certify that a pole passes, and we do not decide the make-ready.
Common questions
Which pole loading software do you use?
O-Calc Pro. We do not hold a SPIDAcalc licence today. If SPIDAcalc is your standard, tell us and we will say plainly whether we can help.
Do you sign or seal the analysis?
No. The models and reports go to your licensed engineer, who reviews and seals them.
What if we only have photos?
The poles can be modelled from photos. It is an added step and is priced separately.
Can you match a pole owner's format?
Yes. Send the owner's standards and a sample of an accepted submission, and we work to that.
Try it on a small package first
Send about 50 poles or 2 miles. You judge the result against your own standards and pay only for what you accept.
