Poles / Pylons :
•
The
role
of
electricity
has
become
more
significant
in
today’s
society;
electricity
distribution
has
to
be
reliable
and
there
should
be
no
outages
.
Furthermore,
ageing
of
networks
is
an
issue
that
has
to
be
taken
into
account.
Overhead
distribution
Networks
depend on “healthy” poles, and pylons to keep the Network up and running.
•
There
are
1000’s
of
poles,
and
pylons
that
need
to
be
managed
properly
to
ensure
that
the
overhead
networks
are
reliable
and
in tact.
•
Regular
inspection
and
maintenance
of
light
poles,
distribution
poles,
pylons
and
other
infrastructure
assets
is
extremely
important. Quarterly to semi-annual inspections are recommended to ensure safety and reliability.
•
Unfortunately
criminals
more
than
often
cut
/
vandalise
poles
/
pylons
just
to
get
to
the
equipment
installed
on
them
or
to
steal
cable / conductors.
•
Street-light
Poles,
Distribution
Poles
/
Pylons
security
monitoring
and
early
warning
theft
detection
are
non-existing
:
Without
visibility
(Monitoring)
of
installed
infrastructure,
criminals
operate
with
impunity
over
a
very
long
period
of
time.
Criminals
are presented with a very large network of unmonitored Poles and Pylons to slowly and methodically drain the organization.
•
Pole
/
Pylon
Theft
/
vandalism
have
more
negative
financial
impacts
than
only
replacement
costs
.
Repairs
and
maintenance
also increases because of theft and vandalism.
•
Poles / Pylons patrolling:
Poles and Pylons patrols are limited and becomes very costly to ensure it is effectively implemented.
•
Inaccessible
Poles:
A
large
number
of
poles
are
installed
inside
the
dwellings
of
customers.
These
difficult
/
inaccessible
poles
for
the
staff
of
the
Utility
is
making
it
easy
for
the
customer
to
tamper
with
their
installed
connection
and
is
making
it
a
nightmare
for
the
Utility
to
exercise
proper
control
and
monitoring
over
these
poles.
Maintenance
and
repairs
are
also
difficult
which
result
that
the
useful lifespan of the poles is decreased much sooner.
Common faults causing POLE / PYLON failures:
•
3rd party interferences
vandalism, theft, tampering, vehicles running into poles etc.
•
People / Service Providers digging close to poles damaging the pole hole foundations
•
These
days
a
lot
of
other
services
are
also
installed
next
or
on
top
of
existing
services,
during
installation
existing
services
can be damaged.
•
Environmental damage – lightning strikes, hurricanes, tornado’s, floods
.
•
Poorly installed poles / pylons
•
No preventative maintenance programs to detect early signs of pre-mature failures etc.
•
Natural Ageing of Equipment
•
Poor Quality Products
PROTECTION & MONITORING:
•
Our
Monitoring
&
Management
Software
system
focus
on
Prevention,
it
is
our
goal
to
ensure
that
possible
damages
/
theft
etc.
to poles / pylons and other infrastructure equipment are early detected before they actually occur.
