High-mast lighting towers represent a significant investment and, when operating as designed, provide great benefit to the safety of American roadways. However, formal management and tracking of these assets are required to ensure the towers’ longevity and proper operation. A well-designed asset management program provides efficient operation today while allowing owners to budget the capital needed to replace towers in a planned and orderly manner. MastCheck, Inc. has developed a complete Asset Management Program that lowers the total cost of ownership, extends the longevity of poles, and improves the quality of lighting. Our program is flexible and integrates easily with DOT staff or outside consultants and contractors to improve your existing process.

The Asset Management Database Includes:
1. Inventory and GIS mapping of each structure
2. Detailed, routine inspections of the towers
3. Key maintenance activities

Improve Safety
A FHWA study directly correlates the frequency of accidents on highway ramps to the amount and quality of lighting. Our preventive maintenance program provides the steps to achieve 90-95% lights-on to help reduce traffic accidents. By incorporating our staged re-lamping program, reduced light levels (due to aging lamps) are minimized. Across the country, a number of poles have collapsed causing death and injury. The MastCheck Inspection System produces the information required to significantly reduce the risk of pole failure. Many of these prior accidents could have been avoided with the implementation of our thorough inspection program.

Reduce Cost
Our Asset Management Program helps reduce the total cost of ownership by carefully integrating the maintenance and inspection tasks and using these activities to extend the useful life of the high-mast system. One crew operates the MastCheck Inspection System during normal maintenance activities, eliminating the need for multiple trips.
