Improving Grid Resiliency with the Tough Truss Core®

 The Situation

For decades, Osmose field crews have been using Osmose trusses to restore damaged and decayed utility poles. These trusses, like the C-Truss and C2-Truss ensure poles meet or exceed code-mandated strength or other specified structural requirements. However, the crews often encountered impediments, like underground piping, gas lines, or 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 the only option, costing over $10,000 per pole.
