SPIDAcalc Analysis for electric distribution utilities.
Pole loading and structural verification in SPIDAcalc — attachment and wind cases modelled against safety factors, with an engineering report per structure. Built for utility distribution design managers and practice leads: Production drafting and analysis that plugs into your distribution design pipeline and holds to your construction standard.

Common questions
Which loading standards do you model to?
We model to the governing standard for the asset — NESC Heavy, Medium or Light districts, or CSA load cases — using your SPIDAcalc client file and pass/fail thresholds.
Do you return make-ready when a pole fails?
Yes. Every failing structure carries a specific, buildable make-ready — transfer, re-tension, guy or anchor change, or replacement — with framing called out.
Can you scale for a large pole run?
Yes. Offshore capacity lets us scale a run up or down by the project without you hiring, while a lead reviews every result.
