Unfortunately, another athletic field lighting pole has hit the ground, this time in Norfolk, Virginia. Here is a link to the news story: http://hamptonroads.com/2009/09/fallen-light-pole-norview-high-spurs-inspections
Now we are into double digits the number of Whitco poles nationwide that have failed catastropically, as well as several non-Whitco poles. We at ReliaPOLE Inspection Services will continue to stress that this issues is not a “Whitco only” issue. We urge every University, School District, Municipal Park & Rec. administrator, to have ALL of their poles routinely inspected by an experienced team, led by a qualified Professional Engineer.
