Our Services
In addition to providing a variety of inspection, treatment and reinforcement options, Alamon works with you to develop a custom program based on geography, climate, pole species, budget and state regulatory requirements.
Utility Pole Inspection
Our inspection methods include Visual and Sounding Inspection, Visual Sound & Bore Inspection, Non-Destructive Inspection (IML RESI PowerDrill), Partial Excavation Inspection and Full Excavation Inspection. The choice of which method(s) to employ is dictated by which of them best suits your specific needs.
Remedial Pole Treatments
Alamon’s Remedial Pole Treatment programs are a ‘booster’ shot to your poles’ original preservative treatments. Whether you employ External Preservative Pastes, Internal Fumigants and Rods, or Internal ‘Void Fill’ Liquids, a timely pole treatment program can extend the life of in-service poles beyond normal service ranges.
ROTBLOC UTL Non-Toxic Barrier Wrap
Be proactive when protecting your wood pole infrastructure investment with ROTBLOC UTL from Alamon. ROTBLOC UTL is a highly durable, cost-effective, non-toxic barrier wrap that acts like a suit of armor to protect wood poles at and below the groundline where they are most vulnerable to rot-induced failure. ROTBLOC UTL is installed ideally prior to pole setting, but can also be installed on any existing pole in the field at any stage of life, and incorporated into Pole Inspection and Treatment programs.
Utility Pole Reinforcement
Alamon’s Pole Reinforcement programs help restore poles to code mandated strength requirements at a fraction of the time and cost of pole replacements. Reinforced wood poles with remedial treatments can remain in-service for years to come, greatly extending the original life cycle of these valuable assets.
Utility Pole Strength Upgrades
There is a nationwide demand to add power and communications infrastructure, and existing wood poles can be pushed beyond their maximum load capacities. Alamon can provide many solutions for increasing the carrying capacity of your existing wood poles, including Pole Reinforcement and/or Extended Trussing.
Data Delivery
Alamon’s in-house IT/GIS team specializes in moving field data to and from Client GIS. Whether collecting and delivering pole inspection data, or identifying attachments on your Utilities’ poles, Alamon has the expertise to deliver your data. Ask our team about Asset Inventory and Management, Attachment Surveys, Overhead Detailed Inspection (NESC and/or GO95) and Project Progress Mapping.
Pole Loading Analysis
Using a wide range of Pole Loading platforms, Alamon can help supplement your workforce, or perform standalone PLA services. Alamon has the staff and experience to assist your team with Fielding, Pole Loading Analysis, and Make-Ready design to make sure your poles are NESC/GO95 compliant.
Whether for engineering firms, pole owners, or Joint Use applicants, Alamon can play a key part in your company’s broadband buildouts.
Fire Shield
Alamon provides fire protection for your wood pole inventory using Wildfire Shield from Armor Built™. Wildfire Shield is a durable and long-lasting resin system that provides protection from extreme heat. When a Wildfire Shield wrapped pole is exposed to a wildfire, the intumescent coating activates, creating an effective heat insulation barrier which helps protect the wood from the fire’s damaging heat.
