Pole Report Generator
A Highly Configurable PLS-CADD Post Processing Engine
The Pole Report Generator (PRG) is a PLS-CADD Post Processing Application which enforces modeling standards and reporting requirements for a utility across all of their internal and external PLS-CADD users. The application achieves this by referencing a cloud hosted ‘Profile’ unique to each utility that can be configured and updated by a designated administrator.
PRG was designed to meet GO95 record keeping requirements with a clean, simple one page summary report for each structure in a PLS-CADD model (GO95 Rules 44.1, 44.2, 44.4). It has since been expanded to act as a powerful Quality Control tool with a comprehensive notification system. In addition, PRG can be customized to integrate with existing databases or other internal record keeping systems.











Here are a few highlights of PRG’s rich feature set:
- PLS-CADD QC Options
