Start with pole identification, then record observations above ground, at the groundline and around attachments. Photo references and review fields keep the findings connected to the pole.
From Identification Through Review
Keep condition observations, test records and measured clearances in the same form. Add photograph references and findings for the pole owner and engineer to review.
- Pole Identification
- Pole Above Ground
- Groundline
- Crossarms, Hardware and Equipment
- Guys and Anchors
- Attachments and Clearances
- Surroundings and Access
- Photos and Findings
- Review and Sign-Off
Owner Criteria and Engineering
The form records evidence without assigning structural conclusions. Test methods and acceptance criteria come from the owner's program, with engineering analysis determining what the findings mean.
- Groundline test methods and excavation under the owner's program
- Measured clearances checked against owner standards and the applicable NESC
- Remaining strength and replacement decisions supported by engineering analysis
