Professional Utility Solutions
Helping Utilities ensure that their Overhead Pole Line
Structures are safe and code compliant is what Sonideft does best. Our time tested Quick Pole Overhead Line Design Software and Structural Analysis tool along with our Training Program and a continuously expanding list of support possibilities are what make our solutions unique. We are focused on supporting users to:
- Stake, Detail and Design new Pole Lines.
- Assess the ability of existing poles or Pole Lines to support additional attachments. (Make Ready)
- Assess ALL poles in your project or Work Plan at once, at the click of a button.
- For each pole structure in a project, fully assess:
- Pole stresses from transverse loads, longitudinal loads, bending moments
- Vertical Stability Analysis based on loads, guying configurations and pole geometry/stiffness.
- Mid-Span Clearances, Sags and Tensions of all wires, messengers and self-supporting wires or cables.
- Soil strength analysis around the butt of the pole based on the calculated forces and moments at and below the groundline, plus Soil Class.
- Holding strength of Anchors based on type/size and Soil Class.
- Compare the required strength of specific poles in a line with Pole Testing Results.
- Prepare Overhead Crossing Permits for Railway Crossings or Navigable Waterways.
- Quick Pole's advanced Finite Element Analysis engine and reporting tools take all of the hard work out of designing and analyzing pole lines.

Quick Pole is stand-alone software tool that is quick and easy to install and automatically keeps itself up to date with all the latest feature improvements. Unlike some programs that can only analyze one pole structure at a time, Quick Pole can assess an entire Work Plan, Work Order or Project collection of Poles, Wires, Cables, anchors and other devices at the same time. It can even import most field data from other applications. GIS/survey coordinates are utilized if they are available, but are not essential to laying out pole or anchor locations and using any program feature. It supports multiple pole framing standards from different organizations with the ability to switch between them easily. You can add your company's own framing standards and wires/cables yourself, or we can do it for you. Quick Pole comes pre-loaded with a considerable database full of wires, cables, anchors, poles. hardware items and many more; but you can add your own to the database as well.
