    Joint Use Management

    The Osmose Triple Play Solution

    There is increasing pressure on pole owners to respond quickly to applications for attachment, effectively manage their joint use billing and attachment records, and efficiently remediate double wood scenarios. These challenges place a strain on the pole owners ability to respond with the expertise and resources required to efficiently manage their joint use business.

    Osmose works with structure owners throughout the United States to design a three phased approach to improve and streamline their joint use programs. Each phase represents a standalone engagement that delivers measurable financial and operational improvement to your program while improving data accuracy, billing, and system safety. Data collected during each phase feeds the next, reducing trips to the field and lowering overall costs.

    Joint Use Audit

    The traditional approach of collecting attachment information and simply updating billing is outdated and ineffective. Beyond the core effort of performing comprehensive field surveys, Osmose can quickly support the entire audit process by providing:

    • Rental agreement review
    • Cost recovery
    • Online mapping
    • Back billing
    • Clearance analysis
    • Data integration
    • Double wood remediation

    Double Wood and Violation Remediation

    When a pole owner replaces a pole, all attachments, belonging to the pole owner as well as third parties, and equipment must be transferred to the new pole. When these transfers don’t occur in an efficient manner, the number of double wood poles may grow to an unmanageable volume and become an overwhelming task to remediate. Osmose can help pole owners address these challenges:

    • Identifying double wood and otherwise stranded pole conditions that exist in the field
    • Coordinating and managing transfer requests
    • Coordinating construction and managing the pole removal process
    • Completing construction invoicing and notification ticket closeout
    • Keeping database up-to-date, tracking instances of double wood, next to move status, and closeout when work complete

    Managing Third Party Make-Ready Applications

    Pole owners are under pressure to respond quickly to regulatory agencies, third party applications for attachment, and other significant design initiatives. These challenges place a strain on pole owners to respond with the expertise required within prescribed timeframes, as well as third party applicants who may need to submit proper applications to gain approval to attach. Osmose can help manage and meet deadlines with accurate, comprehensive analysis and make-ready engineering services, including:

    • Application process review and streamlining
    • Efficient review of incoming applications for completeness
    • Make-ready field surveys, designs, and cost estimates
    • Pole loading analysis to help pole owners integrate into attachment process
    • Clearance analysis
    • Timely application reviews
    • Transfer coordination
    • Ensuring systems of record are updated properly (GIS, attachment records, work management)
    • Post construction audits
