This aggressive, ongoing inspection/maintenance program will help AmerenUE identify, repair, and/or replace poles and other equipment before potential failures occur. This marks the start of an ongoing “foot patrol” inspection program that will cycle every two years through urban areas and every three years through rural areas in UE’s region. Our tree-trimmers will provide additional visual inspections, as well.
Our new program includes a comprehensive inspection of all UE distribution line poles, hardware, and equipment. Older poles that continue to meet strength requirements will receive treatment with a fumigant to extend their lifespan. Poles that fail to meet strength requirements will be replaced or reinforced, as appropriate.
This inspection/maintenance effort is aided by new technology that enables us to check the integrity of our lines throughout our distribution system.
