CASE STUDY: Improving Grid Resiliency with the Tough Truss Core®

Access Case Study

For decades, Osmose field crews have been using Osmose trusses to restore damaged and decayed utility poles. However, the crews often encountered impediments, like underground piping, gas lines, and other immovable objects, where replacing the pole may be the only viable option.

A longstanding Osmose utility client faced a challenge with rejected poles where traditional truss designs couldn't be installed. Initially, full replacement seemed to be the only option, costing over $10,000 per pole.

Download and learn how Osmose engineers created, tested, patented and launched a truss design, allowing for a larger range of orientations on weakened poles.
