INSTALLATION

Light Pole Base Installation

Review the light pole base installation process and the major steps involved in setting the precast foundation.

Five Steps to a Set Light Pole Base

Precast foundations let you excavate, set, connect, backfill, and set the pole — all in the same day.
No forming, no reinforcing, no pouring, and no waiting for concrete to cure.

1

Excavate

Use a skid loader and auger to prepare the hole to the required diameter and depth for the project and site conditions.

2

Set Base

Lower the precast base into position using a chain through the center and verify alignment, elevation, and orientation.

3

Connect Conduit

Route electrical conduit through the trench into the base's central pathway.

4

Backfill

Backfill and compact around the precast foundation according to project requirements.

5

Set Pole

Adjust the anchor bolts to the required pattern and install the light pole.

✓ ALL IN THE SAME DAY.
