SPIDAcalc

Bentley

We model and verify distribution structures in SPIDAcalc to your client file, load cases and pass/fail thresholds. Every structure returns a capacity result, and every failure returns a buildable make-ready.

What we do in SPIDAcalc
  • Pole loading and structural verification
  • NESC Heavy/Medium/Light and CSA load cases
  • Attachment and wind loading analysis
  • Make-ready recommendations per failing structure
  • Engineering reports and assumption logs
Deliverables
  • SPIDAcalc models (.spida)
  • Capacity report per structure
  • Make-ready notes
  • Assumption log
Questions

SPIDAcalc, answered

Do you work from our SPIDAcalc client file?

Yes. We load your client file, cable libraries, load cases and pass/fail thresholds so results are comparable and defensible under your review.

What do we get when a pole fails?

A specific, buildable make-ready — transfer, re-tension, guy or anchor change, or replacement — with the framing called out, not just a fail flag.

Can you scale for a large pole run?

Yes. We scale a run up or down by the project, with an independent lead reviewing every result before release.
