it is a one off audit after instalation.

I have seen a lot of activity with men with clipboards and camera
phones
around poles that have been equiped with fibre.

When contractors were working locally replacing old gas pipes,
before they backfilled each trench, they dropped in a calibrated
depth board and took a photo.

and why are they still called Telegraph poles ?

Because they were originally used for telegraph lines before power poles
were invented.
