Project Overview
This 2023 Australian project involved 150 segmented aluminum light poles with a nominal height of 6 m.
- Location: Australia
- Year: 2023
- Product: Segmented aluminum light pole
- Nominal height: 6 m
- Project quantity: 150 sets
A segmented configuration can simplify transport and site handling where a one-piece pole is less practical. The final joint design, assembly procedure and installation method must be based on approved project drawings.
Design and Installation Considerations
The pole design should be checked using the project wind speed, luminaire and bracket effective projected area, mounting height, terrain category and local structural requirements. Foundation dimensions and anchor details must be determined for the actual soil and loading conditions rather than selected from a generic table.
Surface finish, fasteners, drainage and electrical access should also be coordinated for the installation environment. Where the project is near the coast, review our coastal corrosion protection guide.

For a project-specific proposal, provide the required height, section arrangement, luminaire data, finish, mounting method and design wind speed.
Why a segmented arrangement needs clear assembly instructions
Breaking a 6 m pole into transportable sections may simplify handling, but the joint becomes a critical detail. The drawing should show how sections are identified, aligned and secured, and how wiring is protected through the connection. Installers also need to know which parts are matched and whether any inspection or torque requirements apply after assembly.
For a 150-set order, consistent packaging and part identification can reduce field confusion. The chosen segmentation should be reviewed together with the finish so visible joints meet the project’s appearance requirements. No transport saving or installation-time reduction is claimed without a documented comparison for the actual site.
