Base Plate Welded to base of pole shaft; base plate allows pole to be mounted to anchor bolts.

Base Circle Diagonal measure from centre of one anchor bolt to another.

Bolt Square Measure from one anchor bolt to another adjacent anchor bolt.

Install the anchor bolts using template, with conduit, through the centre. Concrete should be to the bottom of the thread on the bolts.

After curing, place the leveling nuts on the anchor bolts and screw to the bottom. Install washers, also.

Use a level to adjust the nuts to the same height.

Lower the pole onto the anchors using nylon slings, not chains.

Install washers on the top of the baseplate.

Install nuts and tighten them to the correct ft/lbs.

Level the pole and install nut covers or base covers.

1.Inspect product for defects or imperfections, repair as required

2.Blast product (galvanized or bare steel) to 0.75 – 1.5 mil. Profile in accordance with SSPC-SP-10 (NACE 2 – near white metal blast) for bare steel, SSPC-SP-7 (NACE 4 – Brush off blast) for galvanized steel.

3.InspePre heat oven to 450° F.ct

4.Mask off threads, machined surfaces, and anywhere else required.

5.Blow off product with compressed air.

6.Put product in oven for pre-bake.

7.Pre-bake product at 450 F. Verify product temperature is 375 F across entire product before applying primer.

8.Remove product from oven and apply 2.5 — 3.5 mils. of Zinc rich epoxy primer as per powder manufactures specifications onto the hot product so it melts on contact.

9.Let product cool between 125° F and 175° F

10.Apply 2.5 — 3.5 mil. Topcoat as per powder manufactures specifications.

11.Put product in oven at 425° – 435° F until entire substrate has fallen into the specified curing window as per powder manufacturer.

12.Remove from oven for cool down, inspection, de-masking and unloading.

13.Wrap and bundle product.

14.All procedures and work will be done in-house in a controlled environment. This will safeguard against any out side contamination. (Flash rusting, road contaminants etc. caused by transportation and weather).

1.The most influential step in the galvanizing process is preparing the steel to be immersed into the zinc bath. Molten zinc will not react properly or metallurgical bond properly to the steel if it not perfectly clean. The cleaning of materials for galvanizing consists of three solutions and rinses. The first of the three is called a caustic bath. Caustic is a hot alkali solution, which removes surface dirt, certain marking paints, grease and oil. The next step is a hot sulfuric acid bath more commonly referred to as the pickle. Pickling removes mill scale and rust, which has formed ant the surface. Pickle time is determined by the cleanliness of the steel. Sand blasting material drastically reduces pickle time and will usually encourage quicker turn-around times. The final step in the cleaning process is the flux. The flux tank is comprised of an aqueous zinc ammonium chloride. The flux eliminated and prevents further oxides from forming on the steel surface prior to galvanizing. Materials removes from the flux are air dried to eliminate zinc from splattering out of the kettle. Between each step in the cleaning process material gets a quick rinse in water to prevent cross-contaminating different solutions.

2.Once the material has been properly cleaned it is ready to be galvanized. Materials are immersed until they reach bath temperature (842 ); they then begin to withdraw the material at a slow rate to allow excess zinc to run off and out of holes. It is during this step in the process when all the preparation pays off. Proper holes allow zinc to flow from within the material and not have the appearance of running out and solidifying a build-up. Threaded materials are put through a centrifuge and excess zinc is spun off the material cleaning the threads.

3.Once materials are galvanized they are quenched in water or air-cooled for handling and the final inspection. Coating thickness and appearance are the two properties inspectors and customers are most concerned with. Materials are galvanized according to ISA (Indian Standard Association) and ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials).

1.Thicker Coating = longer term corrosion protection

2.Abrasion and impact resistance – sand and salt

3.Chemical resistance for a. Dog urine b. Flyers/Posters c. De-icing chemicals

4.Graffiti can be easily wiped clean

5.Strong Electrical insulation properties

6.Tenacious adhesion

7.High gloss finish

8.Superior colour retention

9.Virtually maintenance free

10.Environmentally friendly – no VOC’s
