transmission tower, lighting poles, and transformer erection etc in the field of electrical engineering. For foundation of single wooden, concrete or steel pole, the pit is excavated to a required depth. Precast concrete poles or steel poles are inserted in the pit.
Concrete mixture is poured layer by layer
and is rammed every time. Mixture ratio is normally 1:2:4 of cement: san: stone. Depth for foundation is generally 1/6 Th of the length of pole.
Typical depth of foundation pits are as
follows:
Pole size (meter): 9 10 12 15 18
Depth of foundation: 1.5 1.7 1.8 1.8 2
Location of poles:
Poles are located at least
1.5meter away from fire hydrant, underground cable trench, and 5meter away from road boarder and railway Height of the pole in distribution system-
10M, 12M, 14M
Span of the pole:
Residential area: 30 to 50m Rural areas : 50 to 60m Foundation for 9 meter street pole :-
