Structural Analysis Software for Utility Poles
O-Calc Pro features an advanced user-interface and calculation tools that make it a highly accurate and productive application for performing comprehensive pole loading analyses for joint use, equipment or line upgrades, system hardening, and pole replacement. Users can model utility pole structures made of wood, steel, concrete, and other types of poles and components, such as H-Frames.
O-Calc Pro Line Design
In O-Calc Pro Line Design, a line of utility structures can be modeled and analyzed together, drastically reducing the time it takes to model a set of distribution poles across the circuit.
O-Calc Pro users have the ability to create line designs, placing the structures according to real-world coordinates using standard geographic information systems (GIS) such as OpenStreet, Google Maps, or Bing Maps. Or, you can use your internal GIS mapping system using Shapefiles or GeoJSON.
