1. Preparation before installation
Before installing hot-dip galvanized LED street light poles, adequate preparation is an important prerequisite to ensure smooth construction.
Site selection requirements: The selection of the installation location needs to fully consider the actual environment, including whether the ground is flat, whether there are obstacles around that affect the installation, and whether the distance between the light poles meets the design requirements. Especially in busy traffic sections, traffic diversion plans should be prepared in advance to ensure the safety of the construction area.
Equipment inspection: During the transportation and storage of the equipment, the hot-dip galvanized coating may be damaged, so the surface of the street light pole must be carefully checked for scratches, peeling or rust before installation. In addition, it is also necessary to check whether the welding points of the light pole are firm and whether the flange size matches the bolt hole.
Tool preparation: The installation of hot-dip galvanized street light poles requires the use of a variety of tools such as cranes, wrenches, bolts, etc., and a level is also required to ensure the verticality of the light pole. For projects that require large-scale construction, it is recommended to provide professional training for construction personnel in advance to ensure that they are familiar with the operating procedures and have the necessary skills.

2. Quality control of foundation construction
The foundation construction of hot-dip galvanized LED street light poles is directly related to their service life and wind resistance.
Foundation treatment: Before installing the light pole, the construction site needs to be leveled and reinforced. Soft or uneven foundations can cause the light pole to tilt or sink during use. If the foundation soil conditions are poor, a concrete foundation or additional reinforcement measures can be used to increase the bearing capacity.
Embedded parts installation: The light pole foundation usually requires embedded bolts, which should be accurately positioned according to the design drawings, and ensure verticality and spacing. During the installation of embedded parts, repeated measurements are required, and fixed molds are used to avoid position deviation.
Concrete pouring: The concrete pouring of the foundation must be strictly constructed according to the design ratio, and ensure that it is vibrated and compacted. Usually, the foundation concrete needs to go through a 7-14 day curing period, and the light pole can be installed only after it reaches sufficient strength.

3. Standard operation of electrical connection
Electrical connection is an extremely important part of street light pole installation, which directly affects the normal operation and safety performance of street lights.
Cable wiring: Select standard cables according to design requirements, and avoid excessive stretching or twisting of cables during wiring. It is recommended to equip the cables with threading tubes to protect them from the influence of the external environment. Especially when wiring underground, corrosion-resistant pipes should be selected to extend the life of the cables.
Waterproof treatment: Since street lights are exposed to outdoor environments for a long time, waterproof treatment is essential. All electrical interfaces must be sealed with insulating tape or waterproof joints, and the junction box must have good waterproof performance. Silicone sealants can also be added to key parts to further enhance the waterproof effect.
Grounding protection: To avoid lightning strikes or leakage accidents, hot-dip galvanized LED street light poles must be equipped with grounding devices. The connection of the grounding wire should be firm, and the grounding resistance value must meet the design specifications, usually less than 10 ohms. For multi-pole networked lighting systems, the connectivity of the grounding network should be guaranteed.
After completing the electrical connection, a power-on test is required to ensure that the brightness of the lamp is normal and there is no abnormal short circuit.

4. Safety inspection and maintenance after installation
After the street light pole is installed, multiple tests are required to ensure its stability and safety.
Verticality inspection: The verticality of the light pole is an important indicator of installation quality. Excessive deviation not only affects the appearance, but also may pose a safety hazard due to unstable center of gravity. When measuring with a laser level, the vertical deviation is usually required to be controlled within 1/1000.
Bolt tightening inspection: Since the flange of the light pole is fixed by bolts, all bolts must be tightened in place and anti-loosening washers or nuts must be used to prevent loosening after long-term use. In areas with strong winds or frequent earthquakes, secondary fixings can be added to improve seismic resistance.
Coating protection inspection: Although the hot-dip galvanized coating has good corrosion resistance, it may be partially damaged by scratches or collisions during installation. For these parts, special galvanized repair paint should be used for timely treatment to prevent subsequent corrosion from spreading.
