Polosoft’s Pole Loading Analysis is the critical process for evaluating utility poles' structural integrity and stability under various loading conditions. This analysis ensures that poles can safely support the weight of electrical wires, telecommunications cables, other equipment, and external forces such as wind, ice, and seismic activity.
Polosoft accurately assessing these loads, engineers can design and maintain utility poles that meet safety standards and prevent failures. Polosoft offers the following under Pole Loading Analysis and Make-Ready Engineering services.
Polosoft’s team leverages customer field data to provide in-depth pole-by-pole analysis, ensuring precise assessments and optimized solutions for structural integrity and compliance.
Polosoft structural analysis service evaluates the structural integrity of utility poles to ensure they can safely support all attached loads, including wires, cables, and other equipment. It helps to prevent pole failures, ensures compliance with safety standards, and prolongs the lifespan of utility poles.
Polosoft stress analysis involves calculating the stresses exerted on poles due to various forces, such as wind, ice, and the weight of attachments. It identifies potential stress points, helps in designing stronger poles, and ensures the poles can withstand adverse weather conditions.
Pole loading clearance refers to the minimum acceptable distance between utility wires, cables, and other equipment on a pole and the ground (or other objects) under various load conditions. Polosoft ensures these clearances are maintained for safety and reliability.
Polosoft's Make-ready Engineering Design focuses on preparing existing utility poles for new attachments, like additional wires or equipment, from telecommunication companies or other entities. Polosoft analyses the new equipment design efficiently while maintaining the structural integrity and safety of the pole.
Polosoft provides detailed reports identifying high-risk field assets that may pose a safety hazard or are prone to failure. It facilitates proactive maintenance, reduces the risk of pole failures, and enhances overall system reliability to ensure proactive design solutions.
Pole loading analysis includes details of transformers, conductors, communication lines, and other objects mounted on the pole, specifying their weight, size, and location. Polosoft engineers evaluate existing pole configurations from collected survey data and design safe and reliable pole systems.
Several software programs are used for pole loading analysis, with some popular options being O-Calc Pro, SPIDACalc, and Katapult Pro Integrated Pole Loading.
O-Calc Pro is a product of Osmose and used to perform comprehensive pole loading analyses. O-Calc Pro is a pole-loading analysis software specifically designed for the telecommunications industry. It provides a detailed analysis of pole loading and capacity, considering multiple loading scenarios.
SPIDAcalc is a comprehensive software solution for overhead network design, offered by Bentley Systems. SPIDAcalc is another specialized software for analyzing the structural capacity of utility poles. It is used by both electric and telecommunications utilities to ensure compliance with safety standards.
PLS-CADD and PLS-POLE are separate software products of Power Line Systems. PLS-CADD (Power Line Systems - Computer Aided Design and Drafting) and PLS-POLE are widely used for designing and analyzing overhead power lines and poles.
Katapult Pro is a product of Katapult Engineering. Katapult Pro is a software application designed to streamline the process of managing utility poles, including pole loading analysis.
IKE Office Pro is a product of ikeGPS. IKE Office Pro software streamlines the process of collecting, processing, and reporting data on utility poles, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of pole assessments.
Polosoft Technology offers cutting-edge pole loading analysis solutions and ensures their safe and reliable operation in a range of challenging conditions and environments.
Pole loading analysis is the critical process in designing and maintaining utility poles, ensuring they can withstand various loads and environmental conditions.
The process begins with data collection, including site surveys and environmental factors.
Structural load analysis follows to model the pole's behaviour and involves strength calculations.
Analyze the stress and strain distribution within the pole to identify potential points of failure
Ensure all documentation complies with relevant standards and regulatory requirements.
We deliver the project work timely with safety standards, resulting in reliable and durable utility poles.
Polosoft offers a user-friendly and efficient way to conduct pole loading analysis, making it a valuable tool for utility companies and contractors involved in make-ready engineering.
Polosoft's primary goal of pole loading analysis is to determine if a pole can support a replacement load. All the electrical regulatory bodies, as well as the NESC (National Electrical Safety Code) and many others, bear an intensive weight load analysis for poles to analyze the load that a pole can take.
