3. Street Light Pole :

SPECIFICATION FOR STREET LIGHT POLES

Detail specifications of Galvanized Octagonal poles.
Design The Octagonal Poles shall be designed to withstand the maximum wind
speed as per IS 875. The top loading i.e. area and the weight of fixtures are to
be considered to calculate maximum deflection of the pole and the same
shall meet the requirement of BS: 5649 Part VI 1982.

Pole Shaft The pole shaft shall have octagonal cross section and shall be continuously
tapered with single longitudinal welding. There shall not be any
circumferential welding. The welding of pole shaft shall be done by
Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) process.

All octagonal pole shafts shall be provided with the rigid flange plate of
suitable thickness with provision for fixing 4 foundation bolts. This base
plate shall be fillet welded to the pole shaft at two locations i.e. from inside
and outside. The welding shall be done as per qualified MMAW process
approved by Third Party Inspection agency.

Door opening The octagonal Poles shall have door of approximate 500 mm length at the
elevation of 500 mm from the Base plate. The door shall be vandal resistance
and shall be weather proof to ensure safety of inside connections. The door
shall be flush with the exterior surface and shall have suitable locking
arrangement. There shall also be suitable arrangement for the purpose of
earthing. The pole shall be adequately strengthened at the location of the
door to compensate for the loss in section.
Material Octagonal Poles HT Steel Conforming to grade S355JO.
Base Plate Fe 410 conforming to IS 226 / IS 2062
Foundation Bolts EN.8 grade
Welding The welding shall be carried out confirming to approved procedures duly
qualified by third party inspection agency. The welders shall also be
qualified for welding the octagonal shafts.

Pole sections The Octagonal Poles shall be in single section (upto 11 Mtr). There shall not
be any circumferential weld joint.

Galvanization The poles shall be hot dip galvanized as per IS 2629 / IS 2633 / IS 4759
standards with average coating thickness of 70 micron. The galvanizing
shall be done in single dipping.

Fixing Type The Octagonal Poles shall be bolted on a foundation with a set of four
foundation bolts for greater rigidity.

Top Mountings The galvanized mounting bracket shall be supplied along with the Octagonal
Poles for installation of the luminaries.

BRACKET FOR STREET LIGHT FITTINGS ON BUILDINGS

The brackets shall be made of specified size NB G.I heavy duty pipe approx. 1.4 M long, bent
at the center at an angle of 120 degree, with necessary holding brackets, hold fasts etc. with
special reducer at end to accommodate type of street light fitting to be fixed. The bracket
shall have one coat of anti-corrosion paint before dispatch to site and two coats of approved
make and shade of enamel paint. See attached drawing of street light poles.
