摘要：

During the latest years, public utilities looked at different approaches to enhance the service life of their assets. One of the main assets is wood poles used for distribution network. At Hydro-Quebec, more than 2 million wood poles are used to distribute the electricity to our customers. The increase in service life will save money for the company as well as preserve the environment by using fewer trees. Within the last few years, Hydro-Quebec has implemented an inspection and remediation program to enhance the service life of wood poles. Preliminary results showed than we can increase the service life of our wood poles by about 10 to 15 years.
