1.2. Buried GRP poles
Buried poles come in different lengths and the planting depth of the pole depends on the length and mounting height of the luminaire. Details pertaining to the excavation needed can be seen in the table below:

Typical Head Weight and Wind Surface Area
2. Backfilling of buried poles The backfilling mix should have a composition of soilcrete 1:10, based on standard soil condition of 150kPa. Backfilling the pole hole should be done in layers of 250mm and compacted with a hand-rammer. The soil should be compacted evenly around the pole, and care should be taken that the pole does not lean to one side during compacting. Continue the backfill and compacting process until the hole is filled. If a stepped hole was used the same applies, and the entire hole must be filled and compacted.
Head weight: 13kg each Windage area: 0.045m 2 each
