hundreds of electric utility, telecommunications and commercial customers across the United States. Our capabilities include:
Inspection and Treatment of Wood Poles
Osmose crews perform detailed inspections of wood poles to evaluate their structural strength, and apply supplemental wood
preservatives to protect the pole against decay and insect damage. Inspection and treatment prolongs pole life, conserves forest
