Traditional PLA software can take days to turn around a single work order. Katapult Pro reduces this to minutes by auto-populating spans and wire types. This speed is critical for competitive grant applications (such as BEAD funding in the US) where time-to-market is essential.
The software uses these photos to extract precise heights and distances.
: Pole loading could refer to the process of loading or placing items onto a pole. This could involve physical labor, machinery, or engineering solutions. In a more technical sense, it might refer to the stress and strain calculations involved in loading a pole structure, which could be a mast, a beam, or any vertical structure designed to hold weight. katapult pro pole loading
The core of the software is its automated PLA engine. It calculates:
Push data directly to O-Calc Pro, PoleForeman, or SPIDAcalc. Traditional PLA software can take days to turn
Katapult Pro bridges this gap by integrating loading analysis directly into its web-based interface, ensuring safer, more reliable utility systems. Why Integrated Pole Loading Matters Pole loading is the process of evaluating forces—such as equipment weight, wire tension, and wind—acting on a utility pole. Traditionally, designers had to export field data to external platforms like SPIDAcalc , O-Calc Pro , or PoleForeman . With Katapult Pro Integrated Pole Loading , your team can: Get Real-Time Results
Before attaching new equipment, engineers must perform a . This calculation determines if a pole can structurally support the new load under various weather conditions (wind, ice, extreme temperatures) without violating safety codes like the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) or GO 95. The software uses these photos to extract precise
The Katapult workflow represents a paradigm shift from "Measure-then-Calculate" to "Capture-then-Validate."
Ensures infrastructure survives high winds and ice loading.
