Exo

The first step to resilient wood utility poles… Exo conducts a Risk-Based Assessment (RBA) that addresses your specifications. RBAs include visual inspections, sound and bore tests, partial excavations, and full excavations. Additional assessment resources include LiDARR, resistance drilling, engineer assessments, and more. In this video, Exo’s Josh Smith takes some time to walk us through a standard partial sound and bore inspection, to determine if there is decay and ultimately determines how we can help extend the life of the structure. Discover how Exo’s wood pole restoration services can save money while providing a more reliable and resilient system.

Exo is breaking new ground in U.S. utility infrastructure… Exo’s Michael Miller P.E., P.Eng., F.ASCE, F.SEI recently attended Bentley Systems' “Year in Infrastructure 2024, Going Digital Awards” held in Vancouver, which celebrates the “organizations that help advance the world’s infrastructure,” and the “visionaries who are shaping the future through groundbreaking projects.” The finalists were considered for projects that demonstrate digital advancements in the realm of transmission and distribution infrastructure. Exo was selected as a finalist for our innovative use of iTwin Capture and Power Line Systems for the Ohio Falls Hydro Station. This project was led by VP of Engineering Services, Michael Miller, and was born from the lack of sufficient technical drawings for two corroded towers (built in the 1920’s) whose transmission lines cross the Ohio River. Miller created digital twins of the aging transmission towers in order to analyze the viability of extending their useful lives and avoiding replacement. The virtual assessment was estimated to save the utility company a potential 10 years of permitting delays and approximately 80 million dollars by avoiding an unnecessary replacement of the two structures. In addition, Exo received a “Founders’ Honor” for our work stabilizing a damaged critical 161kV overhead transmission tower that powered several hospitals at full capacity during the pandemic. Exo created a digital twin and designed a stabilization solution so that the line could remain in service. By using Bentley applications, the team saved four to six weeks in surveying time and avoided an extended power outage for the hospitals.

At Exo, we recognized early on that truly making a difference for our clients would require constant innovation to tackle these challenges on their behalf. Being recognized by Bentley is rewarding, however, these projects are a reflection of the innovative work we do every day for our customers." #exo #integrityiseverything #utility #utilitystructures #resilience #reliability #transmission #distribution #electricgrid #utilities

The Value of Resilience… The value of resilience is the present value of avoided costs from disruptive events over the investment’s lifetime. 1. Avoided cost of average outages. 2. Avoided cost of damage to physical infrastructure (replacement and repair). 3. Avoided cost of interruptions to electricity customers, including lost production. 4. Avoided indirect costs to local or regional economies. 5. Avoided intangible costs that can be monetized, including health risks, environmental damage, and legal liabilities.

What do you do?... Replacing the pole isn’t an option… Case Study 3 of 3: Life Extension Solutions for Steel Utility Poles Exo was called to quickly assess and repair a 50-year-old distribution line running through backyards, parks, and sidewalks. Instead of replacing the poles, we engineered a custom reinforcing splint to restore strength externally, providing a fast and reliable solution with minimal disruption to the community.
