How do we correct the verticality of streetlight poles? What are the installation standards?

How do we correct the verticality of streetlight poles? What are the installation specifications? 1. First, let's take a look at the bottom part, which is the flanged section, to see if it is straight. Is there a simple way to measure whether it is vertical? The method is to tie a weight to a thin nylon string, hold the top of the nylon string about 10 meters away from the streetlight pole, allowing gravity to pull it down naturally. Then, with one eye, look vertically through the nylon string at a line 20 centimeters from your eye to the bottom of the streetlight pole. If this method shows no issues in the east, west, north, and south directions, then the verticality at the bottom is acceptable. If you find that the bottom of the streetlight pole is not parallel to the nylon string, adjustments need to be made promptly. Otherwise, the upper part will not be vertical and may become increasingly tilted as it rises. It can be said that if the lower beam is not straight, the upper beam will be crooked. 2. Check if the embedded parts are in place. Generally, whether it is a streetlight pole, communication tower, or beautification tower, all steel rods that need to be inserted will have a theoretical insertion depth designed. If the actual insertion depth differs significantly from the theoretical depth by more than 20 centimeters, it may indicate incorrect installation. Only by confirming that the depth is sufficient can we ensure vertical movement. 3. If it is confirmed that the bottom section is vertical and other sections are properly inserted but still not straight, there is only one possibility: the insertion direction is incorrect. Road signs, monitoring poles, and their main components should be durable structures made of materials that can withstand certain mechanical stress, electrical stress, and thermal stress. The materials and electrical components should be moisture-proof, explosion-proof, fire-resistant or flame-retardant products. The installation requirements for streetlight poles are as follows: 1. The foundation's rebar cage should be temporarily fixed while ensuring that the surface of the rebar pet's foundation top plate is level; this can be measured using a level in two perpendicular directions with the bubble centered. The concrete for traffic monitoring pole (road monitoring pole) embedded parts must be dense; free-floating concrete is strictly prohibited. 2. During construction, the openings of embedded pipes should be sealed in advance with plastic or other materials to prevent concrete from leaking into them during pouring; after establishing a good foundation, its surface must rise 5mm ~ 10mm above ground level; concrete must be cured for a period to ensure it reaches a certain installation strength. 3. Each metal pole (traffic monitoring pole, road monitoring pole) must be grounded with a grounding resistance of less than 4 ohms; specific data for each upright pole (traffic monitoring pole, road monitoring pole) should be based on site construction needs. Before design, try to layout as much as possible to fill limited space. In the early design phase, to verify the rationality of traffic streetlight pole design standards, detailed layout drawings can be created on a computer (normal construction drawings generally provide specific patterns and text sizes; this step can be omitted). However, conducting preliminary experimental design verification for temporary road sign poles on bridge surfaces is an excellent design method that ensures compliance and rationality while saving manpower and resources and eliminating rework caused by unreasonable designs. Due to the large size of traffic sign boards and the brittleness of high-strength reflective films compared to engineering reflective films, forming films can be challenging and may result in bubbles. To address these issues, effective measures must be taken such as strictly controlling environmental hygiene in processing workshops to prevent excessive humidity in the air; humidity on front aluminum foil must not be too low; good humidity control is an important condition for ensuring durability of highway streetlight poles. For already formed bubbles, methods such as suctioning, blowing hot air, and repairing can be used for separation with ideal results.

1. First, let's take a look at the bottom, which is the flanged part, to see if it is straight. Is there a simple way to measure if it is vertical? The method is to tie a weight to a thin nylon rope, and hold the top of the nylon rope about 10 meters away from the streetlight pole. The weight will naturally fall due to gravity, and then use one eye to vertically align a line 20 centimeters from your eye to the distance between the nylon rope and the bottom of the streetlight pole. If this method works in all four directions: east, west, north, and south, then the verticality at the bottom is acceptable. If you find that the bottom of the streetlight pole is not parallel to the nylon rope, adjustments need to be made promptly. Otherwise, the upper part will not be vertical and may even tilt more as it goes higher. It can be said that the lower beam is not straight and the upper beam is crooked. 2.
