Features of lampposts: types, sizes, installation

A lamppost is one of the types of lighting pole. The main characteristic is the trunk in the form of a single structure - racks. This distinguishes the pillar from the supports, which can be represented not only by a rack but also by a more complex structure, for example, a lattice (truss).
Street lampposts are made mainly of metal - steel of a certain grade, which is chosen depending on the climatic region. The barrel can be cylindrical, cone-shaped, or faceted. The main requirements for poles are given in GOST 32947-2014, which specifies the classification, technical
requirements, rules for marking, storage, and transportation.

Lamppost Dimensions
Lighting poles with a height of 6 m are installed on city streets. These are the most common models of poles since 6 m is the minimum required so that medium-duty freight vehicles can pass along the road. The maximum height of the poles is 12-13.5 m; in some cases, poles with a height of 22 m are made in an individual order.

The total length of the column is slightly more than the declared height since the structure has an underground part, which is buried in the ground and fixed by concreting. If, after installing the fixtures, it is found that the illumination is too high, they simply replace it with less powerful devices.
