Managing shared poles in the asset register

One pole, many attachments.

Learning Track · Module 9: Smart poles · Step 75 of 101

Register each attachment as its own asset, at the same location as the pole. Then each one has its own make, model, warranty, and job history, and each owner sees their own work.

• Record who owns and who maintains each attachment.
• When a pole is damaged, raise a job for each attachment at that location and tell each owner.
• Plan preventive visits for the pole and its attachments together, to reduce visits.
