Lighting is the most important part of any territory. At night, transport, and ordinary pedestrians, must be guided by the area. It is high pillars with lighting products that allow you to forget about all problems. If we talk about the private sector, then sometimes the owners of the houses have to do everything possible to solve the problem associated with the lighting of the surrounding area.

To date, you can easily purchase all the necessary components necessary to create a high -quality base for lighting lighting. Practice shows that it is easier to purchase all parts of the structure, and directly work on the arrangement of the system on their own.
At the same time, a question arises related to the safety of using such structures. Obviously, the pillar used for lighting should have the appropriate dimensions, as well as other aspects related to safety. The pillars are large and heavy, so their installation should occur based on reasons of reliability and durability. There were cases when such events led to not the most positive consequences, so it makes sense to pay attention to all aspects of this situation so as not to encounter problems.
In this article, we will consider issues related to the creation of the foundation for lighting lighting. Practice shows that a person without experience may well cope with such events, therefore, after a thorough study of the technology, you can proceed to responsible actions.
Features of the use of lighting supports
First, I must say that the need for lighting is almost always. Today, many people are building private houses in territories where there is no lighting initially. Of course, it is possible to ensure that the relevant services are installed on the support, but it can take a lot of effort and time.
In such a situation, you can agree with the owners who live nearby, and purchase all the necessary components for the installation of lighting supports. As we have already said, this is not too expensive, especially if there is simply no need for a large number of pillars.
It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that there are relevant standards related to the placement of lighting supports. This allows the maximum use of the resource of supports, and at the same time it is most reasonable to spend money on one or another product.
Often the installation of supports is carried out in places where private houses are located, so the owner can install one pillar, and this will be enough to ensure the lighting of a part of the territory. It is obvious that it should beleships to purchase all the products necessary for arranging the lighting system so that it turns out cheaper, and a single style of lighting supports will be better combined with the territory.
Types of lighting supports
Immediately you need to pay attention to the varieties of lighting supports, which are often used in certain territories. It should be noted that all these designs are about the same idea: these are high concrete or metal structures, on the upper part of which the lighting products are attached. It is also important to note here that fastening the lamps on the poles is a voluminous topic for conversation, since it all depends on how powerful the lighting should be. Many people install small lamps there, and sometimes spotlights.
- Power supports. Such lighting is often used on a large scale, for example, on automobile highways, which requires bright light and large coating area. It is obvious that the pillars in this case should be more than high, so it is pointless to use them to cover small streets.
- Masts. These are even more serious designs, which are often used to cover large areas. For example, it can be sports grounds or even stadiums. Obviously, such lighting products are available on individual orders.
- Street supports. This is exactly what is needed for small streets. Practice shows that these are medium -sized pillars and small lights in power. The use of such supports with a certain step will allow you to get really high -quality and comfortable lighting throughout the territory.
- Decorative supports. In this case, we are talking about small pillars, which often do not require any reason to steadily be located in a specific place for a long time. Decorative supports mean fairly miniature structures, which are located near various shopping centers, parks, as well as other public institutions. It will not work to highlight the street with such supports.
To determine what base the lighting of the lighting should have, it should be established which load will perceive the structure. Again, if this is a small pillar, then it is quite possible that it will be enough to plunge it deep into the soil. If the pillar has a greater height, then it makes sense to pay attention to the creation of a deep well, which will later be filled with concrete mixture. In the event that the support should withstand regular loads, the flange is fastened with hairpins and bolt compounds.
Concrete foundation device for lighting
This option is the most common when it comes to lighting supports. It is worth noting the fact that in the process of creation it is tedious to ensure maximum reliability of the design so that it lasts for many years. Surely many noticed that the pillars that are installed on the streets for lighting do not change and are in about the same state for many years. This situation suggests that reliability here is the main component.
- First of all, the well drilling occurs. Again, its depth directly depends on what height the support will be, as well as what mass it has. Often, for this case, it is necessary to attract special equipment, which will immediately make several recesses so that the installation of supports passes as soon as possible and better.
- Next, the support of the support in the vertical position occurs directly. It should be borne in mind that it is necessary to make every effort so that there are no deviations with such fixation of the support, since the filling of concrete will follow, which will fully predetermine the position of the support. Such events require a lot of workers. An additional technique will not be superfluous, which allows to fix the support in one place. It can be a lifting crane.
- Often, the pillar consists of two parts, one of which is a embedded component. It is often somewhat thinner than the pillar itself, but it has a sufficient length to become a high -quality supporting part. Accordingly, after the embedded part was filled with concrete, it is possible to fasten with the support of bolts and studs. Practice shows that this is practical, reliable and simply beautiful, while outdated installation methods are almost never found.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that today you can find many other modern options for installing supports. Using special equipment, the supporting part can simply be pressed into the ground, which allows you to get the necessary result in a short time. Moreover, a lot depends on the type of cross section, so that you can in advance the time that is necessary for the work. The issue related to the cross section can also depend on the type of soil, since often the soil is not the most practical for construction or repair work.
Rifle piles for installing lighting supports
Practice shows that in areas where problem soils are present, it is best to use the foundation on screw stilts. It can only be noted that such a basis is a really practical solution if the soil is not the most practical. To avoid problems associated with the difficulty of installing lighting supports, as well as the reliability of the design used, you need to look towards precisely screw piles.
It must also be said that screw piles are used not only for lighting supports. Builders are well aware that this basis is actually a practical solution that allows without any problems to get a reliable foundation in the most problematic parts of the territory. Thus, there are simply no special restrictions on the use of screw piles.
Their positive aspects should be considered:
- A long service period. It is known that screw piles are actually a reliable design that will serve faithfully for decades. Today, many buildings are based on them, and a considerable part of the structures has been serving for more than 50 years.
- Practicality. To install screw piles, it is only necessary to deepen the metal element, this will require a special equipment. Otherwise, the practicality of such works is significantly higher than in the case of other options for the base for lighting supports. In addition, you can carry out work on the installation of screw piles at any time of the year, while ordinary bases are created in warm periods, while the soil is a little plastic.
- Installation on various soils. As we have already said, screw piles are the very solution that can be freely used on almost any soils. Thus, the design is used on sandy and swampy soils.
- Re -use. Often there are times when it is necessary to reinstall a particular structure. This is especially true in the case of lighting supports, when the pillar needs to be moved to another place. Thus, screw piles without unnecessary problems move to another place in the previous state.
Practice shows that such a base can easily withstand almost any constructions. If the pillar that will be used to cover the territory has too large sizes, you just need to make a choice in favor of a more massive suture design. Of course, it all depends on what conditions are available in the territory, and which design is used for lighting, however, all the above solutions can easily cope with most problems. In some cases, consultations with specialists who will share useful tips will not be superfluous.
