Make sure to capture key points during your photography to maximize the use of your photos for inspection purposes.

Full View 1, Full View 2, Pole Number, Lower View 1, Lower View 2, Lower View 3

 

-Full View:
Ensure that the entire pole is captured in the frame, including both the top and bottom.
For the second shot, take the photo from an angle that is 90-180 degrees different from the first position.

 

 

-Pole Number:
Take a photo so that the characters on the number plate are clearly visible.
If there are multiple number plates on a single pole, make sure they are all visible in one photo.

 

 

-Lower View:
Capture the photo so that the boundary between the ground and the pole is clearly visible, getting as close as possible.
If there is grass around, gently press it down with your foot to ensure the boundary is visible.
Take the second and third photos from different angles, covering three directions: front, back, and sides.

 


 

■ Concrete Telephone Pole
There are two types: with and without support poles.

-Full View 1 & 2, Pole Number:
Please take photos from the same angles as the Steel Telephone Pole.

 

-Step Bolt Socket:
The scaffolding bolt receptacle is a hole about 2 cm in diameter.
Make sure to photograph it from the front so that the color is clearly visible.

 

 

-Nameplate:
Zoom in as much as possible and photograph the nameplate straight on, ensuring that the text is clearly readable and the image is not blurry.
