    Northern Powergrid intends to purchase the provision of wood pole inspections. The requirement is to inspect up to 48,000 wood poles over 6 months based on a known supply chain capability. Outputs from the inspections will be used to inform investment decisions for the enduring maintenance of the asset base. The inspection will include the following requirements: 1) Compilation of a data collection plan. 2) Photographs of the pole(s) along with the surrounding environment. All photos shall include the geo-coordinates to record time/date location of the inspected site. 3) The inspections will include a resistograph test using a micro drill above and below ground level. This test will be completed without any excavation works are in line with NSP/004/112 - (OHI 12) Guidance for the Inspection and Testing of Wood & Steel Poles https://www.northernpowergrid.com/asset/0/document/5332.pdf. 4) The results of each inspection are to be provided in the form of a % RSV (Residual Strength Value),.
