Ultrasonic Metal Thickness Testing

When we think of disease, we envision a slow and often-fatal degeneration of the structure. Compromising the integrity of any lighting pole reduces the structural soundness that was engineered into that pole. A major cause of damaged poles is rust contamination. And in many cases the extent of the corrosion is not detectable until the pole reveals blistering, pitting, and holes. The rust contamination will render the pole tin-can thin. At that point the possibility of complete collapse of the pole is imminent.

Rust contamination has many causes, ranging from irrigation, salt air, damaged or missing pole-top caps that allow rain to collect within the pole itself, just to name a few. WIL-CAL Lighting Management Company, Inc. can perform ultrasonic metal thickness testing to assess the integrity of the poles and determine the probability of any crumbling lighting poles that can lead to property damage and/or injury.

It is important to test the soundness of lighting poles using Ultrasonic Metal Thickness testing before it becomes an emergency. Then a comprehensive report and photographs will be provided to fully assess the extent of rust damage to exterior lighting poles for your evaluation and possible pole replacement.
