The IML Resistograph is revolutionizing the utility pole inspection industry. Utility poles require regular inspections to evaluate the quality of the timber and level of wood decay present in determining whether the pole should be replaced. Most pole inspection services use primitive techniques that do not measure or record wood decay. More sophisticated procedures are needed to gather accurate data to assess a pole’s life span.
Pole Inspection Below Ground
The IML Resistograph provides an exact measurement of the current condition of the inspected utility pole. The instrument is positioned at the base to measure wood decay at ground level. The inspector then attaches the 45 degree adapter to measure and record the wood density below ground level. With this technology, digging is no longer required and many times, costly reinforcement of the pole is avoided.
