Inspection rules are everywhere. They all ask for proof.
Every utility answers to inspection rules, from national codes to state orders to wildfire plans. They differ in the details, but they ask for the same three things.
- 1
Inspect on a cycle
Patrols and detailed inspections on a set schedule, with every asset accounted for.
- 2
Correct within a window
Each condition gets a deadline based on how serious it is and where it sits.
- 3
Keep the record
Proof of what was found, who confirmed it and when it was fixed, ready for review.
Federal, national and state rules
Wherever you operate, ThreeV works to the rules you answer to.
NESC
The baseline construction and maintenance code most state commissions adopt.
NERC FAC-003 and FAC-008
Transmission vegetation management and facility ratings that match what's in the field.
RUS Bulletin 1730B-121
Wood pole inspection cycles for cooperatives and RUS borrowers.
OSHA 1910.269
Worker safety around energized lines.
Inspection and correction rules
Every state commission sets its own inspection cycles, correction windows and records, for example GO 95 and GO 165 in California, HB 144 in Texas or OAR 860-024 in Oregon.
Wildfire mitigation plans
Expected in a growing number of states, each with its own inspection commitments.
Resiliency plans and rate cases
Increasingly asking utilities to link spending to measurable risk reduction.
Wherever you operate
Colorado, Arizona or anywhere else, we map your question set and priorities to the rules you answer to.
A summary for orientation, not legal advice. Requirements vary by state and change over time.
Priorities that match your correction windows.
We set ThreeV's priority levels to match the rules you answer to, so every finding arrives with a deadline your compliance team already recognizes.
Keep the record
What was found, who confirmed it, its priority and when it was fixed, all linked back to the images. Ready when the regulator asks.
Where ThreeV fits.
Vision produces confirmed findings with the evidence attached and a priority on each one. Validate ranks them, tracks each one to repair and rolls everything up for the filing, whichever rules you answer to.
| # | Asset | Finding | Risk | Why it ranks here |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pole 41-2207 | Crossarm split | High | High consequence circuit, fire risk area |
| 2 | Pole 18-0431 | Insulator cracked | High | Feeds a hospital, no recent inspection |
| 3 | Pole 41-2190 | Leaning pole | Medium | Two prior findings, worsening |
| 4 | Pole 07-3312 | Woodpecker damage | Medium | Moderate consequence, stable |
| 5 | Pole 22-1045 | Missing guy guard | Low | Low consequence, quick fix |
