High Mast Light Pole Inspection Challenges

Every five years the FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) requires all High Mast Light Poles
(HMLP) on our nation’s highways be inspected. Most conventional inspections today consist
of a manual visual inspection of the pole from the ground. Inspectors may use binoculars to
view the higher portions of the light pole and luminaries. Notes and pictures are taken if any
deficiencies are identified. Bringing ancillary inspections like High Mast Light Poles into the 21st
century would require a more thorough inspection.

There are many Nondestructive Testing methods that can help accomplish this, but they are
cumbersome, costly and can only be used once a deficiency has been identified or by
renting a boom truck to get to the correct height.

Service Features
Infrastructure Preservation Corporation (IPC) has developed and patented a robotic High
Mast Light Pole Inspection service, “PoleScanTM”, which thoroughly inspects the pole,
seams and luminaries with the patented robotic inspection unit. Inspection results are
preserved so that future inspections can compare deterioration progression over time. This
means that problem areas can be reviewed to see if the damage has increased since the
previous inspection and action can be taken to ensure the integrity of the HMLP.
HMLP PoleScanTM is guided from a Control Command Center via wireless remote. The entire
device and wheels are all padded and rubberized so that there can be no damage to the
pole surface. The HMLP inspection service is light weight and easy to deploy. The inspection
results are not only more thorough and less subjective than current inspection methods, but
they can help asset managers win additional government bids, save time and money.
