pole attachment services
McLean Engineering is a nationally-recognized expert in the area of pole attachments, having presented to national audiences on the topic at numerous industry conferences and webinars. Our staff has had the benefit of working through the pole attachment audit process alongside dozens of different pole owners of different sizes, densities, locations, regulatory environments, mapping objectives and inspection intervals.
Based on our varied experiences with pole attachments, we have developed a “playbook” of recommendations for a successful inspection project. We invite you to download our free e-book, “7 Steps to a Successful Pole Attachment Audit.”
Also, be sure to check out our “Power Points” Blog for timely information in regards to how our pole attachment expertise can help utilities with the RDOF (Rural Digital Opportunity Fund) deployment.
