Alden’s pole and attachment inventory process begins with a detailed discussion about the goals and requirements for the inventory. Depending on your needs, we will either perform a “complete footprint” inventory of all the poles and attachments or a targeted inventory of the poles you are attached to or own.
In either case, we find the poles, verify your data (or collect new data if the pole is new), verify the attachments, perform a safety audit, and if desired, test the pole for rot and other damage.
We can also capture the GPS coordinates of the pole and take digital pictures of the pole and attachments.
FEATURES
Alden Inventories feature:
• Highly experienced field technicians. Most are veterans of the telephone or power industries and know what they
are looking at. From the ground line to the aerial plant, they have seen it all.
• We focus on the attachments as much as the condition of the pole. We will let you know if you have undocumented attachments and alert you
know if a pole needs help.
• We are great at working with your data. We can help extract data from your legacy system, and can help get the
same system updated at the conclusion of the inventory
BENEFITS
• The GPS coordinates we capture as part of the inventory make mapping easy. The
coordinates also make communicating about Joint Use issues much less of an issue.
•Digital photographs of each pole will enable your engineers to identify where they have
“opportunities,” reducing maintenance costs, and increasing network reliability.
• Our technicians upload data to our server every night, making the data available
for use. You do not have to wait weeks or even months to see the inventory results.
