Abstract

Wood poles are one of the key structures for electricity distribution network. A key inspection technique used is a drill test to identify sound wood (good quality wood) left in a wood pole. A condition-based maintenance decision—replacement or reinforcement is made when the wood poles sound wood measurement is less than 30mm. This paper presents the findings of a study of over 1.2 million records of data from about 200 thousands wood poles over a 15 years period. This paper aims to provide a view of wood poles P-F curve using sound wood deterioration data.
