Structural integrity encompasses structural strength that can withstand the elements and keeps assets functioning properly across their life cycles. For a lighting pole, tower, or other infrastructure asset to have structural integrity, we recommend regular inspection, proactive remediation, and field repair and maintenance that repairs corrosion, deterioration, and degradation of assets before structures are compromised.

Periodic, thorough inspections are the only way to truly assess structural integrity. We recommend a holistic approach that includes in-facility inspection, ground-based inspection, visual inspection, and drone (UAV) inspection, along with an array of nondestructive testing (NDT) and nondestructive evaluation (NDE) testing methods.
