Anchor Photo

A picture of the anchor when one is present is useful to verify anchor details. Be sure to capture the rod and eyes in the photo. It is useful to see the lead length measurement in this photo as well.

Once the height stick operator has collected all of the relevant photos, they can pick up the stick and move to the next midspan. In order to keep an efficient pace, it's recommended that the height stick operator hold the stick against the pole with one hand and begin taking photos with the other. Please note, you will need to avoid moving in front of the height stick, so you can start with birthmarks on the side of the pole or grounding photos and upshots that are on the backside. Multi-tasking in this manner should not be prioritized over capturing quality data, please ensure the height stick is vertical and against the pole before taking more photos.
