Foundation:
Foundation is required to support structure for 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:
Rural areas : 50 to 60m

a) Lean concrete ratio-1:3:6 (cement: sand: stone)
Volume: 0.7X 0.7X0.15 = 0.0735M3
Cement required per M3= 220kg
Cement for above volume= 16.17 kg b) Pedestal PCC at ratio 1:2:4
Outer dia =0.540M
Inner dia= 0.15M
Height = 1.5M
Volume = π/4 x (D2-d2) x H
= π/4 x (0.542-0.142) x 1.5
= 0.321M3
Cement required for ratio 1:2:4 @ =320kg per M3
For 0.321 M3 volume cement required = 320 x 0.312 = 102.72kg

Great information to read, i learns a lot while reading this post. thanks for this blog vrla batteries | gel batteries
ReplyDeleteExcellent information posted here. If you are looking for rolling shutter wire then contact only at Precision Drawell
ReplyDeleteIn certain applications the poles are directly mounted onto an existing structures. Base plates are bolted onto Foundation Bolts.

Kindly Guide For 7 Feet Fencing Pole What is concrete Required and for the Pit Size of 2 x 2
ReplyDeleteyou have not shown depth. consider it and calculate as in example.
ReplyDeletewe r going to start costruction of electric pole foundation for railways & interested for more informations.
ReplyDeleteIt is useful
ReplyDeleteplease advise me concreat base foundation size required for 7 mtr street light pole.
ReplyDeletePedestal need to have concrete base footing resting on soil to transfer vertical downward load & horizontal wind force & moment
ReplyDeleteWe need advise for this problem. This is for fencing our Agri land. we have to fence about 270 poles including border ones - we have decided to keep 10 feet distance between poles. So perimeter is 2700 feet. Each Pole is 9 feet length, 6 in * 6 in square. We will dig 3 feet with Earth Auger and the circular Dug hole will be 12 inches ( 30cm) dia. Each hole and erect 3 feet inside and 6 feet above ground.
ReplyDeleteOur question is " Do we need to use concrete for pouring into the ground? for strengthening (or) can we have stones and loose soil to close the space between Earth and the Pole which is 3 feet.
Please reply.
