Inner-Pole Testing has been inspecting and evaluating wood utility
poles in the USA using the POLUX technology since 2010. As the
exclusive operator + distributor of POLUX, our teams have tested
hundreds of thousands of poles across the country. We have personally
seen the damage and expense associated with destructive “testing”. Our
team is committed to providing the safest, most efficient and reliable
testing services available.
Traditional methods had their place and time but continuing to use them
would be the same as if your fleet was still all Model T’s.
Contact Inner-Pole Testing today to schedule a demonstration in your
area.
