Pole base foundations features
Our one-piece foundation bases are specifically designed with high-strength pipe shafts to resist bending moments and substantial installing-torque ratings.
Versatile applications
Wire-ready steel foundations are designed to provide a support base for applications requiring an easy-to-install solution with excellent lateral capacity. Chance® Instant Foundation® systems are a helical pile deep foundation used as a base designed for above-grade and at-grade mounting for numerous applications including:
- Streetlights
- EV Charging Stations
- Bollards
- Signage
- Solar array pole mount
- 5G Poles
- Stadium Lighting
- Modular and Prefab structures
- Railroad cantilever
Simple installation
Say goodbye to the complication and mess of concrete pole base foundations! Without excavating, a Chance Instant Foundation can be screwed through most soils and loose blacktop surfaces. With no concrete to pour, these pole bases can be installed in any weather and in locations where it would be difficult to maneuver a concrete truck or large installation equipment.
Chance Instant Foundations are made from steel, are a fraction of the weight of a pre-cast concrete base, are easy to transport and store, and can be easily re-positioned in a different location if needed.
The variable bolt circle style allows for fast bolt-up as the slotted design mates with most light standards.
Typically, a two-person crew can install a foundation in 10 minutes using common construction equipment and tooling mounted to a torque motor. The foundation can be trenched, wired, and loaded all in the same day. An optional anti-theft device works in conjunction with the foundation to prevent copper wire theft. Available for new installations or retrofitting.
Engineered support
Pre-engineered helical piles resist all associated loads: wind, compression, and uplift. The welded spiral plate (a true helix) acts as a screw during installation and a load-bearing member. With minimal soil disturbance and no spoils to remove, this solution causes little impact to its surroundings during installation.
Our systems are designed to comply with AASHTO standard specifications for structural supports for highway signs, luminaries and traffic signals, making them ideal for multiple applications and a recognized standard among DOTs and utilities.
These one-piece foundation bases have high-strength pipe shafts to resist bending moments and substantial installing-torque ratings.
Lighting foundation anchors
Instant foundations typically install in minutes for immediate mounting of the superstructure. By design, these steel foundations overcome the stress of tension, compression, and lateral sheer loads. Highly resistant to overturning moments, they are selected based on site and application requirements.
