IKE HELPS YOU DETECT AND VALIDATE FASTER

It starts with accurate double wood records

Double wood (also known as buddy pole, ghost pole, or two pole) is a prevalent issue for many utilities. Lagging pole transfers, backlogs, and communication or notification gaps between pole owners and attachers are some of the common reasons they arise. When unaddressed, they create a safety hazard and a liability, not to mention an eyesore for the public and a nuisance for property owners. Field inspections are the most common way to identify double wood instances, but they are time intensive and costly. IKE’s AI-powered analytics solution helps you update your records without mobilizing crews.
