Benefits of a Distribution Resiliency Programme
Cost-Effective – Targeted analysis means only structures in need of a solution receive them, and the Osmose trussing solutions are typically installed for a quarter or less of replacement cost.
Efficient – Osmose grid resiliency solutions are implemented faster than replacement-only programs.
Engineered Solutions – Osmose programs are specifically tailored to the complex needs of the utility and its distribution structures.

Our Tips For More Resilient Distribution Structures
Collect Detailed Structure Data
Once prioritised areas are determined, Osmose deploys trained and experienced field crews to collect detailed structure data to help determine a starting point for your programme. The ever-expanding OsmoVision® toolset allows for accurate and detailed data collection, and efficient AI-enabled processing of both LiDAR and other state-of-the-art data capture and visualisation technologies to provide resilience analysis and modeling.
In-Depth Look at Pole Plant Health
Without a comprehensive pole assessment and treatment program, the full structural analysis is missing a key component: remaining strength. With a groundline assessment program, each pole gets a detailed below-ground assessment, remaining strength calculation, and remedial treatment applied to arrest decay and retain the remaining strength.
Better Solutions, Less Replacement
With data collection, assessment, and modeling complete, Osmose can recommend solutions for any pole found below the resiliency standards set by the utility. Osmose has a family of trussing systems that are prescribed and installed for significantly less investment than pole replacement.
There are trussing solutions for poles that need:
- Core strength restored due to decay or damage. (Tough Truss® Core)
- Extra bending capacity along with strength restored. (Tough Truss® Extra)
- Upgrade to the bending capacity, sometimes by multiple classes. (Tough Truss® Upgrade)
