Street lighting plays an important role in the aesthetic design of municipal and private territories, as well as the safety of pedestrian zones and roads. In addition, it allows you to create a cozy atmosphere and emphasize the features of architecture and landscape design.
The installation of outdoor lighting systems involves the development of a project, which, as a rule, take into account the required degree of illumination, the relief of the location, the necessary power of lighting devices, the number of installed equipment, the section of cable lines, the presence of protection and control systems, as well as a method of electrical installation of the system and its power supply. In this case, the air method or laying of the cable in the ground is used. As for the electrical installation of the system, it is carried out on the supports. Today, the sale of lighting supports made of various materials is widely accessible.
Installation of lighting supports is performed after the end of the preparation of trenches for laying the cable. To install the supports, you will need to arrange a square pit with a depth of about 120 cm and a meter size per meter. A hole of one meter in the depths for installing the structure drilled in its center. The diameter of the hole by 10 cm should exceed the diameter of the base of the support.
When installing metal supports, reinforcement is driven into the walls of the pit, after which it is welded to the pillar, and the pit is cemented. In the filled tank, it is worth avoiding the formation of voids. As a result of concreting, a slab holds the support of the lighting system should be obtained.
After that they start laying the cable. At the same time, it is worth considering the relevant allowances necessary for the cable eyeliner directly into the pillars of lighting. In the pillars for connecting the cable, technological windows are cut out.
When laying a cable in the ground, falling asleep with a trench with soil, it is worth taking care of laying a special signal tape, which in the case of unauthorized excavations will serve as a signal.
After the installation of the pillars is completed on them, the brackets intended for attaching electrical appliances are installed.
