Ensuring infrastructure integrity has never been more important than it is today. Increased regulatory scrutiny, aging infrastructure, broadband and smart grid deployments are growing challenges that utilities must consider while overseeing their pole plant. Now utilities have a tool ideal for reliability, design, and joint use engineering that can be deployed to all levels of their organization.

SPIDACalc software is an application ideal for both field and office personnel that operates on tablets, laptops or traditional PCs. The flexibility of SPIDACalc software allows it to be used in a variety of ways. It can be used to screen a large volume of poles quickly, perform in-depth analysis on individual structures, or map and design new infrastructure.
