Lighting Pole Foundation -
The concrete foundation required to handle a tall lighting pole must have Safety First thinking. Lighting poles must be able to sustain hurricane force wind and be able to sustain a vehicular accident without falling on someone in the area. Although there are local codes to enforce the proper installation of parking lot lighting poles, there are too many cases where economical short cuts are made by those unaware of what may happen in abnormal situations. Lighting pole foundations must have the correct diameter, height, proper steel rebar reinforcement, proper electrical conduit and mounting bolt installations.
