Select a suitable utility pole length from the required above-ground height and setting depth for Canadian distribution design.

Using this calculator

What it checks

Select the shortest listed utility pole that provides the required height above ground after its setting depth is deducted.

Inputs and method

Enter the required above-ground height and any additional project setting depth. The calculator compares the result with the available pole lengths and shows the remaining spare height.

Design use

Confirm the selected pole class, loading capacity, setting conditions, and local utility requirements separately before design approval.

Engineering aid only. Verify the inputs, assumptions, results, and applicable project requirements before use in a final design.
