O-calc Pro Line Design

Assessing whether a pole can safely support new telecommunications attachments (e.g., 5G small cells, fiber optic cables).

For advanced issues: Contact support via the inside the software.

Apply the required regional loading district rules (e.g., NESC Heavy, Medium, or Light loading zones). O-calc Pro Line Design

Identifying structurally deficient poles before linemen climb them significantly reduces workplace injury risks and liability.

Generates standardized, easy-to-read PDF reports that accelerate the approval process between pole owners and third-party attachers. Assessing whether a pole can safely support new

Modern line design requires:

Generates verifiable documentation to prove compliance with national and regional safety codes. O-Calc Pro calculates environmental loads based on regional

O-Calc Pro calculates environmental loads based on regional geographic data. It automatically applies wind pressures and ice accumulations to both the pole structure and all attached cables, translating these factors into exact bending moments and stress percentages. 4. Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

⚠️ GROUNDLINE MOMENT EXCEEDS NESC GRADE B CONSTRUCTION BY 14%. Suggest: a) Add guy wire at 42°, or b) Upgrade to Class 2 pole.

PLS-CADD excels in terrain modeling and optimizing transmission tower spotting. However, O-Calc Pro provides a more focused, catalog-driven workflow for joint-use attachments, make-ready engineering, and the specific pole loading standards required for urban and suburban distribution networks.

Users can populate the pole model with realistic equipment:
