Speqtiv's mobile inspection app captures structured field data on every distribution pole using NESC-aligned checklists — GPS-stamped, photo-documented, and timestamped to satisfy NESC inspection program requirements. Works fully offline in the field.
The National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) mandates that utilities maintain a periodic inspection program for distribution poles. Inspections must be performed on a documented schedule, and the results — including inspector identity, condition findings, and corrective actions — must be retained as part of a defensible compliance record.
Paper-based inspection programs create gaps. Illegible field notes, missing records, inconsistent condition categories, and no audit trail of who inspected what and when. When regulators or engineers ask for documentation, paper programs struggle to deliver. Speqtiv closes those gaps with a digital inspection system built around the structured data NESC compliance requires.
Inspection checklists are organized around NESC condition categories — visual inspection, sounding, ground rod assessment, guy wire and anchor checks, and other standard distribution pole inspection criteria.
Each condition category is graded with a structured Pass, Caution, or Fail rating. No ambiguous free-text notes — structured grades produce consistent, comparable records across inspectors and inspection cycles.
Every inspection is attributed to a specific named user with an exact date and time stamp. NESC compliance requires knowing who performed each inspection — Speqtiv records that automatically.
GPS coordinates are captured automatically at inspection time to sub-5 meter accuracy. Know exactly which pole was inspected and where — no manual pole ID entry, no transcription errors.
Photos are attached directly to each inspection record at the pole. Build a permanent, date-stamped photographic record of every pole's condition across successive inspection cycles — searchable and exportable.
Pole inspections happen in areas with no cell signal. Speqtiv works completely offline — full app functionality, local data storage, automatic sync when crews return to connectivity.
Track the date of last inspection and next due date per pole. Identify overdue poles before regulators do. Prove inspection frequency compliance on demand with a complete inspection history per asset.
Export inspection records for regulatory submissions, engineering review, or integration with existing utility systems. Filter by condition, date range, pole type, inspector, or geographic area.
NESC doesn't just require that poles get inspected — it requires that utilities maintain a documented program. Here's what that program needs to demonstrate, and how Speqtiv satisfies each requirement.
Periodic Inspection ProgramNESC requires utilities to have a systematic, scheduled inspection program for distribution poles. Speqtiv tracks inspection frequency per pole, flags overdue assets, and provides a complete history of every inspection cycle to demonstrate program continuity.
Inspector Identification & TimestampingInspection records must identify who performed the inspection and when. Speqtiv automatically attributes every inspection to the logged-in field user with an exact timestamp — no manual entry, no ambiguity.
Documentation & Record RetentionUtilities must be able to produce inspection records on demand. Speqtiv stores every inspection record with structured condition data, GPS location, photos, and inspector identity — exportable and retrievable at any time.
