Sounds fucking obnoxious but super cool if you were actually encouraged to do a god job
I learned the other day about the existence of the fungicides they sometimes use and the little metal tags. So much goes (or should go, perhaps) into maintenance, it’s crazy
Oh yeah, it's always cheaper to maintain old stock than replace it, but it's also cheaper to replace failing stock than replace failed stock.
Pole analysis is one of those jobs that used to really suck because you had to calculate all the statics by hand for each pole, but with software designed for it now you can just slap some point data in there and click on calibrated images to build out the static system. Makes it easy to change things and test out multiple load conditions.
Kinda makes me sad that not many industry people use the software the way it's meant to be used and instead just create reports meant to go directly into archives.
