Each solution is tailored to address the specific challenges of utility networks, driving improved performance and operational excellence.

Double Wood Audit and Management: A Turn Key Solution

Double wood utility poles represent a persistent life-cycle management challenge that many utility companies are not resourced to address internally. Our comprehensive, turnkey service is designed to efficiently resolve this long-standing issue, helping to safeguard grid reliability and compliance.

Outsource the Problem—We Deliver the Solution
By contracting this work to our experienced team, utilities can eliminate backlogs of double wood and ghost poles without diverting internal resources. In states where regulatory fines are imposed for inaction, we also offer full management of compliance efforts.
Our Proven Process
- Initiation: We conduct a rapid assessment of your utility grid to identify double wood and ghost poles, providing precise location data and issuing necessary notifications.
- Monitoring: We track the time between notification and resolution, ensuring accountability and steady progress.
- Closure: We oversee and manage the removal of identified double wood poles, delivering a complete end-to-end service.
Prevent Structural Degradation and Unnecessary Costs
Failure to address stagnant poles can lead to degradation of the primary pole’s foundation. Left unresolved, this deterioration results in higher repair costs and misallocation of funds—an avoidable outcome with proactive double wood management.

Joint Use Pole Audit

Inadequate oversight of joint-use utility poles can lead to unauthorized or hazardous attachments, posing serious risks to infrastructure integrity, public safety, and grid reliability. Regular audits are essential to maintaining compliance, safety, and operational efficiency.

Comprehensive Field Inspections by Keystone USA
Keystone USA’s Pole Audit team conducts thorough, on-site inspections across your entire utility network to:

Identify unauthorized or unsafe third-party attachments
Digitize all power equipment and third-party assets to improve asset tracking and management
Recover lost revenue through retroactive billing and ensure accurate collection of ongoing joint-use licensing fees

Our streamlined workflow and experienced field teams ensure accurate, safe, and cost-effective data collection and processing. For large-scale joint-use audits, Keystone USA delivers a comprehensive, scalable solution designed to improve operational efficiency and maximize revenue recovery.

Vegetation Assessment & Management: A Turn Key Solution

Improper vegetation management poses a significant risk to utility infrastructure, potentially leading to service disruptions, safety hazards, and costly repairs. Our end-to-end vegetation assessment and management services are designed to proactively mitigate these risks and maintain operational reliability.

Comprehensive, Scalable Solutions

Using advanced data collection technologies, we efficiently survey extensive areas to identify overgrown vegetation that threatens overhead lines and equipment. Our services also include the safe and effective removal of identified vegetation to restore clearances and ensure compliance.

Preventing Service Disruption and Safety Hazards

Tree limbs and uncontrolled plant growth can interfere with overhead lines, leading to power outages, fire hazards, and increased operational costs. Our proactive approach helps utilities avoid these issues through timely intervention and maintenance.

Actionable Insights for Utility Partners

Our user-friendly deliverables provide clear, precise location data and detailed descriptions of vegetation-related risks. We ensure utility partners are promptly informed of any new growth that may interfere with attachments or restrict pole access.

Lifecycle-Centric Vegetation Management

Vegetation control is a critical, ongoing component of infrastructure life-cycle management. We support utilities in maintaining system integrity through continuous monitoring, reporting, and resolution of vegetation concerns.

Birth Mark Modernization

Keystone-USA offers a comprehensive solution to modernize outdated utility pole identification systems by replacing legacy birthmarks with advanced, weather-resistant QR codes.

Enhanced Data Capacity and Durability
Our QR code-based system significantly improves upon traditional methods, offering increased data storage capacity and superior durability in harsh environmental conditions.

Detailed Pole Attribute Integration
Each QR code can be customized to include a wide range of pole-specific information, such as:

Installation Date
Height and Class
Material Composition
Phase Count
Authorized Attachment Limits
Ownership Details
GPS Coordinates
And more!

Seamless Integration with Utility Operations
