Pole testing to start near Pop Center substation

This summer, Tipmont will test poles near the Pop Center substation — which is the area indicated on the accompanying map.

Pole testing requires driving trucks, ATVs and other vehicles around Tipmont’s rights-of-way to inspect poles. To learn more about rights-of-way, please visit tipmont.com/row.

Tipmont members in these areas may see personnel and/or vehicles from Tipmont — or its contracted partner, Utility Asset Management — on their property.

Tipmont tests poles every 10 to 15 years to ensure their wood is in good condition and help maintain our high standards for reliability. Any deficient poles will be repaired or replaced as required.

If you have questions about this work, please email senior staking engineer Jon Shultz at jshultz@tipmont.com.
