    Pole Foundation

    Foundation is required to support electrical structures like transmission towers, poles, and transformers. For pole foundations, a pit is excavated and filled with concrete in layers around a pole inserted at the bottom. Typical foundation depths range from 1.5 to 2 meters depending on pole height and location. Pole spacing also varies from 30 to 60 meters depending on whether the area is residential or rural. Construction of foundations involves calculating volumes and cement quantities for lean concrete, pedestals, copings, and earth pits using specified ratios.

    The passage discusses different types of pole foundations used in electrical engineering projects and their cement requirements.

    Wooden, concrete or steel pole foundations. Foundations can also be for transmission towers, lighting poles or transformers.

    Pole size and depth is generally 1/6 of the pole length. Typical depths given for pole sizes 9m to 18m.

    Pole Foundation:-

    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:


    Residential area: 30 to 50m
    Rural areas : 50 to 60m
