Deco Poles Installation

Simple and cost effective! The most common method and biggest advantage for installing a Ornamental Concrete Lighting Pole is by direct embedment. The pole is placed into an augured hole lined with gravel then back filled with native soils, stone dust or Concrete. Depending on the soil conditions.

Pole is generally directly buried in the ground, eliminating the need for the more costly base mounted design with foundation.

• Embedment depth of poles is a standard 1 Meter.
• In most cases the native material can be used for backfill material. If the soil is poor or there are heavy loads on the poles, select backfill may be required.

Advantages of Direct Embedment

• Monetary – Eliminates the need for a costly anchor pole base footing.
• Time Savings – Faster installation, allowing more poles to be installed.
• Simple – No reliance on weather, form work, or pouring schedules.
• Appearance – No exposed base plates, or anchors bolts.
• Engineered – The pole and footing are continuous (monolith pole), forming a stronger structure.
• Environmental – Does not contaminate the soil, unlike steel poles which corrode.
• Landscaping – Whether it be grass, concrete or asphalt, the surrounding ground is finished right up to the pole base.
• Maintenance free – Can be placed into the ground without the fear of rust or rot.
