qPOLE
Every Pole Modeled
from Existing Conditions
Turn one walk of an asset into an accurately modeled, geometrically defined, and classified 3D model, with photos connected to the point cloud and to every data point, so every decision can start from facts, not assumptions.

Introduction to qPole
Improve
PLA Efficiency
Model a pole in less than 10 minutes, with no return trips.
Accelerate
Make-Ready
Everyone works from the same field data.
Inspect
Before Sign-Off
Check every as-built pole, not just a sample .
Safeguard
Grid Reliability
Find maintenance issues before storm season.
The Grid Runs on Pole Data.
Too Much of it is a Guess.
Every number comes down to a pole decision about a pole, and each decision is only as good as the data behind it.
Each Pole is Your Source of Truth, not GIS.
No more weathered brand tags, missing data, or outdated records. Eliminate the assumptions that lead to over-engineering and unlock a verifiable, fact-based source of truth for your entire network.
One Capture.
Everyone Works from the Same Data.
One walk gives you an engineering-grade 3D point cloud and the photos that built it, in one shared project, so you and every partner on the job work from the same model of the same pole.
UTILITY ENGINEERING
Spend your billable hours on quality engineering work.
Every hour spent searching street-level imagery, chasing a missing measurement or sending a crew back out is an hour your bid never covered.
Measure it from the office. Missed something? It is already in the model, no return trip needed.
The ground line, measured. Measure ground-line circumference directly in the model instead of estimating it.
Work in groups. Apply a pole-top assembly and conductor to many poles at once, then fine-tune each one.
Straight into your loading tool. Export PLA-ready data to SPIDAcalc, or work in O-Calc Pro from inside qPole. CSV output shares the data with other PLA tools.
UTILITY LEADERSHIP
Know your existing conditions. Eliminate the assumptions.
When pole data is incomplete, designs turn conservative, and that often means overbuilding. Know every pole's class, height, attachments and ground line. Every record matches the asset.
Find problems earlier. Catch the overloaded pole, the split crossarm and the encroaching limb before storm season does.
Efficient use of operating budget. Send crews and trucks only where the work is, with every finding tied to a photo and a location.
Consistent across vendors. Same coding, same attributes, same evidence, whoever did the capture.
UTILITY & ENGINEERING PROJECT TEAMS
See every ongoing project
Everyone gets a shared view of the poles, the clearances, the documentation and the progress as work happens.
Clearances from your desk. Check ground, conductor, and joint-use clearances in the model.
Post-construction review. Confirm that each pole passes inspection, one pole at a time.
Records accurate to the centimeter. Match your pole list to the poles captured, and your records move from feet to centimeters.
One shared project. Your managers, inspection crews, and engineers work from the same evidence.
One picture of the pole. Answer questions with the same evidence on both sides, from a photo of the pole as it stands.
POST-CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION
Verify the work before you close it out.
A sample inspection can miss the pole that was built wrong and finding it after the crew leaves means sending the crew back out. Walk the line again after construction. A post-construction walk lets you check every as-built pole against its design using the 3D point cloud and photos.
Catch it before it costs more. Find problems while the contractor is still on the job, not after the crew has left.
Close on evidence. Close work orders and approve invoices on verified work.
As-built records you can trust. Every record stays current and backed by the model and photos, ready for the next inspection cycle or storm response.
TELECOM AND JOINT USE
One set of facts for every attachment on the pole.
Make-ready slows down when every party on the pole sends its own crew, comes back with different numbers, and goes back and forth over what must move and who pays. Measure the pole once, in one shared model, so the owner and every attacher see the same measurements and the photos behind them. The owner can bill accurately, and each attacher knows what to expect.
Clearance at mid-span. Ground and road clearance at the low point of each span, measured on the wire itself.
CAPABILITIES
From a Walk to a Model.
No drone, no flight authorization, no pilot. Here is what happens between the walk and the review.
1.
Capture on foot.
One person walks the line from the street or right-of-way. The qCam can be handheld or on a pole.
2.
Process in the Cloud
The photos become a dense 3D point cloud. qAI builds from images (no LiDAR) and applies PPK GNSS corrections to place every point precisely on the map.
3.
AI Transcribes the Scene
The AI identifies poles, wires, ground, vegetation and equipment, and keeps eveyr photo linked to the point it shows.
4.
Review in qPole
Your team confirms each pole geometries and attachments, and then models components to deliver a PLA-ready model.
Libraries & Standards
Bring in your pole library and default pole specifications.
Import Pole Lists
Every pole keeps the ID your records already use.
Pole Detection
See every detected pole in the 3D point cloud and on the 2D capture map. Review each one, lock in its geometry, and name it or pick its name from your list.
Analysis & Measurements
Slide a base slice up the pole to the ground line to measure its circumference and center the pole. Add species and burial depth to estimate class and length from a measured ground line.
Spans & Component Models
Connect the spans, then add crossarm assemblies, wires, and more. Select a group of poles, apply an assembly and conductor to all of them at once, then adjust each one.
2D Imagery
Check vegetation, hardware, and attachments in the photo behind every point. And use either the 2D images or the 3D point cloud for your edits.
Exports
Export PLA-ready data to SPIDAcalc, work in O-Calc Pro from inside qPole, or share the data as CSV with other PLA tools. Nobody re-keys a field sheet.
ATTRIBUTES
What Gets Coded on Every Pole
Up to 200 attributes per pole, with a pole list import so field IDs match your records.
Structure
Top, ground line, height, class, lean, crossarms, braces and struts.
Attachments
Every conductor and cable with its X, Y and Z position: primary, neutral, secondary, communications, streetlight and riser.
Guying
Attachment height, lead length, anchor location and angle, all measured, not paced.
Equipment
Transformers, fuses, cutouts, reclosers, capacitors and arresters, with type and visible condition.
Spans
Length, elevation change and direction to the next pole, straight into the loading model.
What the AI Identifies
Each class can be turned on or off, so you can measure clearance against vegetation only or count the transformers on a feeder.
