LaserTech’s Joint Pole is a field data collection program that Electric Utility professionals and their contractors use to measure the location, condition, attachment heights and make-ready measurements on utility poles. The user fills out a series of Tabs of customizable information about the pole and any equipment attached to it. Graphic prompts will trigger measurements from Laser Tech’s TruPulse lasers to record all the necessary height, span, sag and clearance values. Common export file formats move the data onto a PC for further analysis.
