WOOD POLE INSPECTION

Many adventure parks are built on wooden poles. Wooden poles have a limited lifespan. They are exposed to the weather and the external forces of the ropes course. The location and the climate where the adventure park is situated can influence the decay of a pole and effect of nature.

Inspection of the pole is therefore required to detect poles with damage or decay from ground to the pole top.

The main purpose of the periodical pole inspection is to identify:

Unserviceable poles
Pole where decay/rot has occurred
Damage to poles e.g. Cracking and external factors suchs as woodpeckers

Inspection of wooden poles can include:

Visual inspection
Sound inspection
Drilling inspection
Digging inspection

Early dectaction allows possible treatment to be used on the pole to extend the service life of the pole. Ropes Course Solutions has the knowlegde, skills and experience to provide pole inspections and can assist in the remidial treatment of the pole.
