Utility Pole Inspections
All Services
Extend Pole Life. Prevent Failures. Strengthen Your Grid.
At Tomberlin, we specialize in comprehensive utility pole inspections that go beyond surface-level assessments. Our inspection process is designed to help electric co-ops, utilities, and infrastructure managers evaluate the condition of each wooden pole—above and below ground—so they can make informed decisions and strengthen their systems.
Whether you’re building a lifecycle plan, responding to insurance requirements, or simply working to harden your infrastructure, our inspections provide the data and clarity you need.
What’s Included in Our Pole Inspections
- Visual Inspection of Attachments & Equipment - We assess all accessible hardware and connections for wear, corrosion, or failure risks.
- Below-Ground Pole Testing - Using specialized tools, we inspect the pole beneath the surface for signs of decay, rot, or termite damage that could compromise structural integrity.
- Remaining Life Assessment - We determine how much useful life the pole may have left, allowing utilities to prioritize repairs or replacements more effectively.
- Weekly Reporting - All findings are documented and submitted in consistent weekly reports, so clients stay up to date with our progress and data.
