Hopefully they replaced that pole too! That's just pain laziness and cheapness if they didn't. I reported a GE M-250R (you probably remember it. it was the one that was on during the day and off at nite). Anyways, the pole was splintered. They came and replaced the M-250R with a new M-250R2. Then a week later they replaced the pole and scraped the brand new M-250r2 that was on the tapered e arm and installed ANOTHER new M-250R2 on a new 6ft upsweep arm. I don't get it! Besides, the tapered elliptical arm is definetly more durable than the cheesy upsweep arms NGrid uses. They're so unpredictable with what they reuse and what that don't and it's sort of gets frustrating lol.
I actually have....and it is leaning backwards.....I am going to take a pic of it soon...its leaning worse than this and been leaningfor about year or so... and it's on a 20 foot truss arm, bigger than the one above!
I've seen poles lean this bad after storms but they're replaced promptly. i've seen splintered utility poles reinforced by a vertical crossbar where the splintered area is. The crossbar had two thru-bolts on the top and bottom ends and it seemed to work well! BTW, it was a temporary fix. The pole was replaced late last week. I believe the old pole or at least a section of it is still up until the phone company comes to transfer their wires (which sometimes takes over a year and sometimes not even at ALL!!! )
If a pole is installed leaning around here (which isn't uncommon as NGrid appears to rush their pole renewals) NGrid installs a diagonal steel support cable that hooks to a buried foundation to keep the pole from leaning any more. The one in front of my house has one but the pole was installed leaning in the direction the guy wire is pulling so it looks like the guy wire is pulling the pole towards my house.
