The current methodology used by the utility industry (RSV) does not reflect the true state of pole health and has led to major inefficiencies in maintenance and asset management. THOR Poletest™ is bringing a new method for objective, accurate pole data to the industry.

Topics covered:

• The issue with using old methods

  • Incomplete Results — poles inaccurately classed as ‘safe’ that later cause fires, outages

  • Subjectivity — current tests still need interpretation and not all testers review poles in the same way

  • Resource Constraints — relies on having experienced engineers who are harder to recruit and costly to train

  • Cost — up to 30% of poles replaced unnecessarily

• An Alternative Approach: Pole Health Index (PHI)

  • Objective, consistent results

• How THOR Poletest™ works

• How to use PHI at work
