The installation of solar street lights is highly dependent on the foundation, much like building a house, where the foundation remains crucial for any task. The foundation is meant to secure the structure of the solar lamps and also serves to place and protect the batteries. Depending on the height of the solar street light and the wind forces experienced, the strength of the foundation required can vary. During construction, it is essential to ensure that the foundation’s strength and structure meet the design requirements. So how should the footing cage for solar street lights be installed? The specific steps are as follows:
Installation steps for the footing cage of solar street lights:
1. Carefully excavate the pit along the roadway according to the foundation drawing dimensions for solar street lights (as determined by the construction personnel).
2. Within the foundation, the upper surface of the footing cage must be leveled (using a level for measurement) and the anchor bolts within the cage must be vertical to the surface of the foundation (using a square for measurement).
3. After excavating the pit, allow it to rest for 1 to 2 days to monitor for any groundwater seepage. If groundwater does seep, immediately halt construction.
4. Prior to construction, prepare the necessary tools for making the foundation of the solar street light and select construction personnel with experience.
5. Select appropriate cement strictly according to the solar street light foundation drawing; in areas with high soil acidity or alkalinity, use special cement that is resistant to acid and alkali. The fine sand and gravel must be free from soil and other impurities that could affect the concrete strength.
6. The soil surrounding the foundation must be compacted.
7. The bottom of the battery chamber in the foundation must have drainage holes added as per the design requirements.
8. Before construction, both ends of the conduit must be sealed to prevent foreign objects from entering or blocking during or after construction, which would make it difficult or impossible to pass wires during installation.
9. Once the foundation for the solar street light is completed, it needs to be cured for 5 to 7 days, contingent on weather conditions.
10. Installation of the solar street light can only proceed after the foundation has been inspected and deemed qualified.
This concludes our sharing on how to install the footing cage for solar street lights. Construction personnel have the responsibility to question the appropriateness of the chosen installation locations based on the on-site conditions, halt construction if necessary, and report the situation promptly to the relevant authorities. Correction must be completed within the designated timeframe, adhering to actual construction standards.
