Features and Benefits
Features
Jensen Infrastructure’s precast concrete light pole bases provide a durable, long-lasting foundation for outdoor lighting applications. Manufactured with high-quality concrete, these bases are designed for superior load-bearing capacity and resistance to environmental wear. They feature built-in conduit openings for easy wiring access and consistent reinforcement to withstand high wind loads and ground movement. Precast solutions also offer faster installation times compared to poured-in-place foundations, reducing labor costs and site disruptions.
Specifications
Our light pole bases are engineered to meet industry standards for structural integrity and performance. Standard options include various diameters and depths to accommodate different pole heights and load requirements. Each base is reinforced with rebar for added strength and includes anchor bolt templates for precise pole alignment. Additional customization is available to meet project-specific requirements, ensuring compatibility with municipal, commercial, and industrial lighting applications.
Selection
Selecting the right light pole base depends on several factors, including pole height, wind exposure, soil conditions, and load requirements. Taller poles or those in high-wind areas require deeper and wider bases to maintain stability. Precast bases offer a reliable solution with predictable quality and easy installation. Consulting with an engineer or referring to local building codes ensures compliance with safety and performance standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
How deep should light pole bases be?
The depth of a light pole base depends on the height of the pole and local soil conditions, but typically ranges from 4 to 10 feet. Engineering specifications and local codes will determine the exact depth required for proper stability.
How much do light pole bases cost?
The cost varies based on size, material, and project requirements. Precast concrete bases generally range from $500 to $2,500, depending on specifications and customization needs.
Do light pole bases need ground rods?
Yes, most installations require ground rods to ensure proper electrical grounding and safety. The specific grounding requirements depend on local electrical codes and project specifications.
