PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 INSTALLATION

A. Equipment: Install equipment to be readily accessible for operation, maintenance and repair.
Minor deviations from the Drawings may be made to accomplish this but no changes are to
be made without the approval of Engineer.

B. Column Bases: Install columns on concrete bases as detailed on the Drawings. Before

C. Holding Down and Plumb Adjusting Nuts, Washers, Locknuts or Nyloc Nuts: Stainless
steel or cadmium plated.

D. Columns: Erect columns so that luminaires are located on a line parallel to theoretical
profile of road. Alignment of columns, both horizontally and vertically, is to be secured to
the satisfaction of Engineer. Brackets are to be set at 90 degrees to longitudinal axis of
road.

E. Install poles as follows:

1. Use web fabric slings (not chain or cable) to raise and set poles.
2. Mount pole to foundation with leveling nuts, and tighten top nuts to torque level
recommended by pole manufacturer.
3. Secure poles level, plumb, and square.
4. Grout void between pole base and foundation. Use non-shrinking or expanding
concrete grout firmly packed in entire void space.
5. Use a short piece of 13-mm diameter pipe to make a drain hole through grout.
Arrange to drain condensation from interior of pole.
