Investigating Wooden Power Pole Cases
A Mini Seminar With James W. Harbert CLI, FCI

This mini-seminar consists of a power point presentation, a detailed booklet on power pole investigations and a 10-question examination. Most investigators have never heard of a wooden pole case and probably have not heard of a pole falling. Occasionally they fall, and when they do, they can cause severe injuries.

While wood poles are subject to stringent standards for treatment, inspection and replacement they still become old, their anti-rot treatment dissipates and they deteriorate. If they are not properly inspected and replaced within the proper guidelines, they will become a hazard.

First a little about wood poles:

There are 10 grades of wood poles. A #1 pole will support the most weight, a #10 the least. The test for a #5 pole is that it must support 1900 lbs. applied two feet from the top and pulled at a horizontal angle. If it does it passes the test--but when installed in the field it is only permitted to support 475 lbs. when new. This is a required safety factor of four. The National Electrical code recognizes that over the twenty five to thirty year life of a pole it will deteriorate and loose its weight supporting capacity. The inherent strength factor will allow the pole to deteriorate up to 2/3 during its lifetime. This would still leave an adequate safety margin if the pole was properly treated and continuously maintained.
