In the spring of 2018, Tideland began an intensive four-year pole inspection project. Our contractor, Osmose Utilities Services, can be found in the field testing poles and performing both strength and load calculations.
By proactively testing poles, the co-op is able to improve system safety and resiliency by treating or replacing poles before they fail.
Acting on an Osmose inspection report, Tideland recently replaced 12 poles on the subtransmission line between our Five Points and Washington substations.
