For an infrastructure operator managing thousands of sites, the question comes up thousands of times a year: <strong>what can this site still carry?</strong> The answer is often already in the archives. You just need to know what they really say.</p>\n<h2>Decades of archives, rarely usable as they are</h2>\n<p>A telecom site accumulates documents throughout its life: detailed design, calculation notes, as-built files, equipment and frequency sheets, health and safety files, lease… They were produced by different engineering firms and contractors, over several decades, and stored in systems that do not talk to each other.</p>\n<p>As a result, a single site often has several calculation notes, several as-built files, drawings that no longer match what is installed, and removed equipment that still appears in the documents. Nobody can query the portfolio as a whole, and the cost of a case-by-case study makes doing it site by site impossible.</p>\n<h2>What a document audit must establish</h2>\n<p>A useful document audit does more than list files. It must answer four questions.</p>\n<p><strong>1. Which documents are authoritative?</strong> The latest calculation note and the latest as-built file, identified by the date in their title block, not by the date the file was uploaded. For a rooftop, you need one reference as-built file per operator — never another site’s.</p>\n<p><strong>2. What is missing?</strong> Missing, outdated or contradictory documents, and what to request from the client or contractor.</p>\n<p><strong>3. Does the actual equipment match the calculation note?</strong> This is the most often overlooked point. The surveyed aerial equipment must be checked against the load sheet of the latest calculation note: mounting height, azimuths, operator, status (existing, planned, removed), offset arms, dimensions and weight. Every discrepancy must be sourced: which document, which page.</p>\n<p><strong>4. How much can each data point be trusted?</strong> A height read on a dimensioned drawing is not as reliable as a value inferred from a photo. Carrying a confidence level for each data point tells you where a site visit is essential, and where it is not.</p>\n<h2>From document to calculation</h2>\n<p>Once the data is reliable, the site can be modelled and calculated: lattice towers and monopoles to EN 1993-3-1, rooftop supports checked. The calculation is done by a deterministic engine validated by an inspection body — not by AI.</p>\n<p>Each site then gets a structural and documentary score. Across the portfolio, that score becomes a <strong>capacity map</strong>: the sites that can take new equipment without further study, those that need a technical visit, and those that call for reinforcement.</p>\n<h2>What it changes across a portfolio</h2>\n<p>In the telecom vertical, where the TriDyme platform is in production with infrastructure operators, the measured results are:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>{{telecomDocChainStructures}}</strong> structures analysed by the document pipeline;</li>\n<li><strong>{{telecomNoSiteVisit}}</strong> usable without any site visit;</li>\n<li><strong>{{telecomTimeSaved}}</strong> time per project, from survey to deliverable.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>A technical visit is sometimes still needed. But it becomes targeted: the preparation sheet states exactly what the audit could not settle, and what to measure and photograph.</p>\n<h2>Key takeaways</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>A site’s capacity is read first in its archives: latest calculation note, latest as-built file, load sheet.</li>\n<li>The gap between installed equipment and the calculation note is the first source of error.</li>\n<li>A confidence level per data point keeps site visits for the sites that need them.</li>\n<li>The calculation stays deterministic and validated; AI prepares and checks the data.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Got a portfolio to audit?</strong> <a href=\"/contact/?subject=telecom\">Audit a sample of your portfolio</a> or discover <a href=\"/telecom/\">the telecom vertical</a>.</p>","excerpt":"Every new piece of equipment installed on a tower or a rooftop must be justified by a calculation.
