UPI Inspections is a Utilty Pole Testing Company. We offer, Ike GPS Utility Pole Audit Solution. Ike GPS is a unique device for capturing the location of objects for GIS applications and for verifying and annotating the data with GIS referenced images. The Ike GPS™ Utility Pole Audit Solution takes this capability even further, allowing you to create TrueSize (spatially calibrated) photos and measure the heights, sizes and distances of objects, such as pole attachments and mid-span heights, using onboard software. The ikeGPS™ Pole Audit Solution includes an easy to use workflow for capturing pole data: UPI believes in Protecting the public from the dangers that improperly maintained or inspected utility facilities pose may necessitate more safeguards within the maintenance and insp

Technology The technology we use is the POLUX inspection system where two special insulated probes are driven into the pole at the groundline the most vulnerable point where decay is most likely to occur. These special insulated probes, about 2.5 inches in length, are used to measure simultaneously two critical properties of the pole. 1.The quasi-static insertion force of the double probes from a constant depth of 2" in the wood. 2.The internal moisture content of the pole between the tips of the probes at the same 2" depth. This double measurement approach directly correlates to the density and moisture content of the wood fibers in the strength bearing outer shell of the pole. A hand-held computer then integrates this measurement with five other pole variabl
