Pro Line Design - O-calc

If a pole fails (utilization > 100%):

After changes, re-run analysis to confirm compliance. O-calc Pro Line Design

Vegetation is the number one cause of power outages. O-Calc Pro imports LiDAR point clouds. The software can automatically identify a tree branch that is within the code-prescribed "danger tree" zone. It doesn't just tell you the branch is there; it models the 40mph wind swing of the conductor to see if the branch will short the line. If a pole fails (utilization > 100%):

O-calc Pro Line Design includes robust environmental loading. You define: After changes, re-run analysis to confirm compliance

The software calculates the combined load (dead weight + ice + wind) and determines if conductor tension exceeds 50% of RBS (a typical safety limit). For extreme climates, you can model unbalanced ice shedding across adjacent spans.

Users can populate the pole model with realistic equipment:
