There are hundreds of millions of timber poles across our networks globally, with an average age of 50+ years.  Networks have traditionally relied on hammer testing to inform them of 'pole health'.  This is labor-intensive, time-consuming and lacks accuracy and objectivity.  

As an asset owner it is challenging to plan your budget with confidence and to schedule maintenance and upgrades with any certainty.

THOR Poletest™ gives you objective insights into the state of poles in your network.  It is fast and easy for engineers to use, enabling you to test more poles, quicker.
