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.

Plant amazing Acers.


and why are they still called Telegraph poles ?


because most normal people know what that means (much as they know what is
meant by "filmed on a mobile phone"). But there's nothing to stop you
using "a tall (often wooden) pole used to carry utility cables"

Easier to call it a power pole or utility pole if you are that anal.
