Description

Light poles are nearly universal structures that line our streetways, sidewalks, parking lots, athletic fields, and more. While the luminaires that illuminate paths for pedestrian or vehicular traffic are the common focus of maintenance efforts, maintenance of the poles and anchorage systems supporting them is often overlooked.

WJE engineers Leah Ruther and Noah Fehrenbacher will discuss the general components of light poles, common failure mechanisms, recommended light pole maintenance, when replacement is recommended and design and analysis considerations for new or replacement poles. This presentation will feature real world examples of deterioration and failures of light poles which have generally occurred due to poorly planned maintenance and deferred repairs along with tips on inspection protocols, non-destructive techniques, and asset management considerations.

Course will award 1.0 hours of continuing education
This course is Diamond Review approved in 49 states. New York does not accept hours from recordings.
