Wood Pole Maintenance    (View PDF)

Robert E. Birtz

Abstract: This paper deals with the various inspection and treatment methods that can be used to maintain wood poles inplace. Pole inspection has to be carried out to meet National Electric Code safety standards. Unfortunately, inspection only is an expense that leads to a lot of pole replacements. Inspection combined with present internal and external treatments will extend the life of most wood poles almost indefinitely and the savings will more than pay for the program.
