01
Mission and Scope
Install each PoleGuard unit safely, aligned, and documented in under 3 hours per pole at this site.
Deck purpose:
- Standardize installer workflow across crews
- Reduce safety incidents and repeat visits
- Create audit-ready records for every install

Core Install Sequence
Target install window: Not set
- Prep: Confirm crew, equipment, and materials are ready.
- Mount: Seat PoleGuard unit and lock retention points.
- Mark: Confirm pile drill locations using template.
- Anchor: Drive piles, attach arms, attach pile caps.
- Secure: Bolt sleeves to arms, arms to piles, and piles to pile caps. Use TC bolts where listed.

Escalation Triggers
- Abort installation if pole integrity is questionable.
- Escalate if torque spec cannot be reached without material damage.
- Open support ticket for any bracket/pole mismatch.
- Do not close the job while evidence package is incomplete.
