Timber poles must be examined regularly for stability and traffic security. There is legislation directing that timber poles must correspond to a high level of safety and guarantee optimal function. 90% of the decayed and rotten areas in timber poles are found below ground level and therefore it was necessary to develop an instrument that would be able to meet these standards.
THE RESISTOGRAPH IS LESS WORK WITH
REWARDING RESULTS
The Resistograph system is a drilling resistance measuring procedure, that
is available in different models and drilling depths. For timber pole
examination the F-Series and E-Series are best suited for the task.
The F-Series is recommended in the field of pole inspection due to its
accessibility and ease of use.
With the Resistograph you are able to examine the timber pole anywhere
from below soil level up to the top. The process takes about one
minute, which includes the printout of the measuring profile. Therefore,
you have the possibility to examine a timber pole for safety before
climbing. Another advantage is you are able to map out the interior
of the pole by taking cross drillings.
The Resistograph helps you:
- to find localized areas of decay in poles quickly
- to protect the timber poles over time
- to prevent an unnecessary exchange of a timber pole
- to save personnel time and costs
