Aerial Pole Design
Comprehensive pole inspection, structural analysis, and engineered make-ready designs stamped by a licensed P.Eng.
Our Aerial Pole Design Services
- Engineering review and pole inspection: Identify structural, safety, and make-ready requirements through field inspection and reporting.
- Hazard assessment & defect mitigation: Assess hazard conditions and unflagged defects with engineered mitigation solutions.
- Technical drawing review: Confirm attachment feasibility and compliance with utility standards and client requirements.
- Pole loading & structural analysis: SpidaCalc analyses performed in accordance with CSA and utility design standards.
- Validation of pole condition: Review inspection reports to confirm structural adequacy or recommend remediation.
- Engineering adjustments: Modify designs to meet clearance, loading, and safety requirements.
- GIS & CAD integration: Integrate GIS datasets and CAD records to build accurate pole models and alignment data.
- Engineered drawings & deliverables: Prepare AutoCAD pole and make-ready drawings, stamped and sealed by a licensed P.Eng.
- Independent engineering review & QA/QC: Provide an independent peer review, quality assurance and quality control prior to issue for construction.
Pole Inspection & Assessment
Our comprehensive inspection process identifies structural, safety, and make-ready requirements through detailed field analysis. We assess pole condition, capture critical measurements, and document all findings for engineering review and design planning.
- Structural condition assessment
- Hazard identification and documentation
- GIS and geolocation data capture
- Attachment feasibility evaluation
SpidaCalc Structural Analysis
We perform pole loading and structural analysis using SpidaCalc, following CSA standards and utility-specific design guidelines. Our analysis includes wind and ice loading cases, attachment configurations, and detailed loading summaries for each pole structure.
- CSA-compliant loading analysis
- Wind and ice load calculations
- Attachment configuration review
- Detailed design summary reports
