Subscribe for the latest news and perspectives from IKE. Our Q4 edition covers pole data and analysis, intelligent automation, NESC guidelines, joint-use, and more.

Our upcoming class provides a general overview of each part of the National Electrical Safety Code ( #NESC ). Designed for engineers, staking technicians, power lineworkers, communications lineworkers, safety personnel and inspectors, this one-day online training will give practical applications supported by examples, diagrams, and conversations. IKE's NESC and OSHA training instructor Grant Glaus, P.E. will lead the class. Attendees will receive 0.6 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) or 6 Professional Development Hours (PDHs). https://lnkd.in/gEfP7Rft

Dependable pole loading analysis helps prepare your system to withstand the wind, ice loads, and more that come with extreme weather. It also helps reduce outages and deliver faster restoration times, while ensuring compliance with standards and safety codes like the #NESC . Comprehensive resilience and storm hardening planning starts with IKE PoleForeman's reliable structural analysis. https://lnkd.in/gk2GAtSW

Q: What are the #NESC requirements for clearances over buildings if there's an accessible ladder or other way to get up to the roof? A: If a door, stairway, or permanently mounted ladder* gives access to that portion of the building, the clearances from NESC Table 234-1 for portions of buildings that are “readily accessible to persons” apply, but don’t forget that Rule 234A requires the clearances to be checked at the “worst case” sag, not the clearances on the day it is installed or the day it is inspected. *Note: Leaning a ladder up yourself and climbing does not qualify as readily accessible. Our next 1-day class on NESC for Day-to-Day Utility Work is November 20. Get an overview of each part of the Code and how to apply it to day-to-day work. https://lnkd.in/gXpj_SkV

Managing NJUNS tickets can be time consuming and error prone. Joint-use attachment requests, pole transfers, safety inspections and audits can create a mountain of ticketing work, and finding the right data across different systems further complicates the process. Our intelligent automation helps you tackle unprocessed ticket backlogs and keep joint-use programs on track. We apply natural language and pole-specific AI capabilities to structure and normalize existing data sets and populate NJUNS ticket fields. https://lnkd.in/giM99hQb

In honor of #STEMDay , we are shining a light on The 1881 Institute of Technology , a nonprofit workforce development initiative that prepares underrepresented populations for careers in engineering and technology. As part of a pilot apprenticeship program with their local utility, Entergy, they are launching a new training offering for apprentices to learn pole loading analysis. We are happy to support the program by offering access and training on our IKE PoleForeman software for the students to learn and apply in future careers. Pole loading analysis (PLA) is a critical function for utilities, involving the evaluation of utility pole conditions through principles of statics and other engineering concepts. Analysts must understand and account for the many forces that affect a utility pole - such as its size, strength, and material, weight of equipment attached to it, and environmental or weather conditions that impact it. Accurate PLA ultimately helps prevent overloading, which can lead to pole failures and safety hazards. We look forward to kicking off this initiative and the training! Thank you to The 1881 Institute's Founder and Executive Director Bahiy Watson for spearheading our collaboration!

📢 Join our webinar in partnership with Fierce Network , featuring guest speaker Eric Rajchel, PE , Director of Engineering at Vantage Point Solutions , and our own Brett Willitt , SVP of Product to discover innovative strategies to transform pole attachment processes and leverage BEAD funding to accelerate broadband deployments. The webinar will be moderated by Alejandro Piñero Group Director at Fierce. Register now 👉 https://lnkd.in/gGDu27Vs #Broadband #Communications #Fiber

When it comes to managing joint-use projects such as pole transfers or attachment requests, tracking workflows and notifications is time consuming for both pole owners and attachers. NJUNS goes a long way to helping enable efficient collaboration, but finding the right ticketing data across different systems complicates the process. A new solution can help alleviate strain on resources and reduce liability from unprocessed tickets. https://lnkd.in/gh2zjBXM

Toth and Associates, Inc. recently shared their story of how they sped up their pole data collection process and improved accuracy. Toth fielders moved from numerous imprecise tools and equipment to one efficient device with the IKE Device. And the back-office team was able to begin work quickly after the completion of fieldwork, with timely and accurate data seamlessly uploaded to IKE Office Pro. With this approach, Toth improved GIS data accuracy and has been able to correct data mismatches and discrepancies. They also captured a wide array of data that they previously didn’t have access to. In addition to the previously barebones KMZ data files, KML exports with annotated pole and mid-span photos have empowered Toth to deliver added value to customers. The data also allows their customers to understand damages and failures in the field and identify unknown attachments. Thanks to Tyler Barnes and the whole team at Toth for sharing their experience and best practices! https://lnkd.in/gJUsxWzG
