New Pole and Cross-arm Inspection

Your treated wood poles and cross-arms won’t last in-service unless they’re properly treated. The WQC program is designed to ensure that the manufacturers of these products have functional internal quality control systems in place so that high-quality WQC products are available to all utilities.

The only RUS-approved quality assurance program available to the consumer, WQC incorporates four different disciplines to accomplish a two-fold purpose: assure finished product quality and verify that those you are paying to provide third-party inspection actually perform the service per specification requirements. WQC:

Qualifies and approves pole and cross-arm producers
Inspects poles and cross-arms in-plant
Conducts destination inspection of treated poles/cross-arms after delivery
Independently verifies the performance of the program’s primary inspection agency
