Managing the complexity of accurately modeling a high volume of utility poles, 409 locations across two primary work orders to meet strict client and regulatory standards.
Ensuring all designs and clearances for hundreds of distinct assets were fully compliant with PPL’s specific engineering requirements and NESC standards.
Overcoming potential data accessibility issues to perform comprehensive modeling at scale without requiring extensive, costly field verification.
Delivering a large quantity of precise models and reports within project timelines to support efficient project execution.
Action
Executed complete pole modeling for 409 locations using the specialized IKE Pole Foreman software.
Leveraged provided access to ENTRUST/PPL’s databases to retrieve all necessary pole, circuit, and system data for modeling accuracy across the entire project scope.
Applied deep expertise in utility standards to input accurate design parameters and perform rigorous clearance verification for each of the 409 poles.
Utilized our own Pole Foreman license to ensure a seamless, uninterrupted project workflow and data security throughout the engagement.
