If you’re referring to a 2018 aluminum alloy light pole installation in Winston-Salem, North Carolina (USA), here are the key specifications and considerations for such a project:
- Material & Construction
– Aluminum Alloy: Typically 6063-T6 or 6061-T6 (high strength, corrosion-resistant).
– Extruded (not welded) for seamless durability.
– Lightweight yet sturdy, making it easier to install than steel.
- Height & Design
– Common heights: 20 ft (6m) to 40 ft (12m) for streets, parking lots, and parks.
– Tapered or fluted design for wind resistance.
– Decorative options (e.g., acorn-style luminaires) for historic or urban areas.
- Surface Treatment
– Powder-coated finish (black, dark bronze, or gray common in the U.S.).
– Anodized options for extra corrosion protection (less common than powder coating).
- Wind & Weather Resistance
– Designed to meet US wind load standards (e.g., 90–110 mph wind rating).
– Galvanized steel base (if anchored) for extra strength.
- Electrical & Mounting
– NEMA-compliant electrical components.
– Slipfitter or anchor base mounting (common in U.S. installations).
– Compatible with LED fixtures (common for energy efficiency).
- Compliance & Local Standards
– IESNA (Illuminating Engineering Society) standards for light distribution.
– City of Winston-Salem/Duke Energy requirements (if utility-owned).
– Buy American Act (BAA) compliance if federally funded.
