Aluminium columns – general specifications
1. Material properties
Our input materials for aluminium alloy columns include AlMg3 and AlMgSI alloys.
Physical and chemical properties:
- low specific gravity: 2.66 kg/dm3 ,
- resistant to increased corrosion attack,
- especially in marine/offshore environment,
- polishable and extremely good for formation of anodic oxide coatings,
- good for hot and cold working weldable,
- high fatigue strength at high flexibility.
2. Strength properties of posts
The plastic forming of aluminium for tubular posts gives the strength
properties approximate to those of steel posts. Note that the aluminium
post weighs approximately 30% of its steel counterpart.
3. Advantages of aluminium posts and masts
- Anti-corrosive properties provide long operating life in all weather conditions and under increased ambient corrosion attack
- Low post weight facilitates installation and erection safety of tall posts
- Long life of aesthetic appearance
- Flexibility of the product significantly improves the safety of collision to vehicle occupants
- Unlimited recyclability at the end of life with the recycling energy consumption being far lower than manufacturing the raw material. This assures sustainable use of natural resources and environmental protection
4. Manufacturing of tubular posts and masts
Tubular posts are made of aluminium pipes of suitable diameter with the
wall thickness between 3mm and 10mm (as required by structural
strength). The posts are monolithic thanks to pipe redrawing (with
pitching tube diameter) or rolling (with continuous taper along the entire
post). This eliminates the need for longitudinal or circumferential welding
which results in improved aesthetic finish and removes structural weak
points on cross welds. The posts are designed for installation on pre-cast
concrete foundations or planting in cast-in-place foundations.
5. Manufacturing of post and mast flange plates
The flange plates for posts and masts installed on pre cast foundation blocks are made by casting or from stamped sheet with suitable ribbing and the fixing point completely concealed in the plate bottom. The flange plate fastening bolts and the hinge are also hidden in the plate bottom, which protects the bolt fasteners from ambient conditions. The bolt inspection holes are sealed with blind caps once the post (mast) has been bolted to the foundation structure.
The flange plate design assures high aesthetic finish and compliance with the EN 12767 standard for passive safety of lighting columns. The high mast flange plates are made as casts with reinforced design of the fixing points.
6. Enhanced protection
Aluminium alloy columns are highly resistant to weather by chemical preservation of polished surfaces or painting with polyurethane coatings in any RAL colour. Note that we cooperate directly with paint and varnish manufacturers. Hence we can coat our products with special paints on custom order, e.g. dirt resistant coats, fluorescent coats, photo luminescent coats, chameleon effect coats, and many more. Moreover, we can anodize our tubular posts.
7. Cable recess
Each column comes with hand hole doors which conceal and protect the internal electrical equipment. The door is a lid fastened to the post with a bolt lock operated with an Allen hex key or socket wrenches. The door provides IP43 rating for the hand hole recess. The hand hole recess can accommodate a circuit breaker panel with the maximum dimensions of (W x D x H):
| AL tubular park lamp posts | 85 x 100 x 500 mm |
| AL tubular street lamp posts, H ≤ 7m | 85 x 100 x 500mm |
| AL tubular street lamp posts, H > 7m | 100 x 120 x 500 mm |
| AL tubular masts | 100 x 120 x 500 mm |
8. Fixing of aluminium posts and masts.
Lamp posts and masts feature a permanently fixed flange plate, which facilitates quick installation on concrete foundation structures or other sufficiently stable substrates. The product is fastened with regular bolts or anchor bolts. Street lamp posts with the height between 4 m and 12 m feature a hinged catch which facilitates erection.
The bolts and nuts for fastening the structures on cast in-place foundations are protected against loosening and corrosion by protective caps which resist weather and mechanical damage.
9. Brackets
The brackets for aluminium street lamp posts are available with the length of 0.5m, 1.0m, 1.5m, 2.0m, 2.5m and 3.0m, symmetrical arrangement and up to 4 arms. The types of brackets and other support structures installed on aluminium alloy posts and masts are detailed in Section “General”.
Standard color of aluminium columns is grey, but can be painted in a wide range of colors from RAL catalogue.
Products are made in EU. All products have CE conformity mark.
