Pole Pulling

Double Wood Management​

Many pole owners struggle with managing their double wood pole population. 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.​

Why Should Double Wood Poles be Removed?

• Double poles and otherwise stranded poles create additional
  safety concerns for workers and the general public
•  They are unsightly and may cause unnecessary customer
  complaints
• Some states have laws requiring pole removal within a certain
  timeframe

Osmose can help pole owners address these challenges by acting as a single-service provider to identify, manage, and reduce double wood pole backlog by:

• Identifying double wood and otherwise stranded pole conditions
  that exist in the field and the status of pending transfers
• Coordinating transfer requests
• Coordinating construction, managing the pole removal process
• Construction invoicing and notification ticket closeout
