Light Pole
Installation &
Replacement.

From the ground up.

Foundations, trenching, conduit, underground wiring, the pole itself and the fixture on top of it. One contractor for the whole assembly instead of three trades pointing at each other.

Light Pole Installation & Replacement

A pole project is a civil job with a light on top.

Changing a pole-mounted fixture is an afternoon. Setting a pole is a different scope entirely. There is a foundation to pour, a trench to cut, conduit and wire to run, a feeder to pick up and a base that has to be right before anything goes vertical.

We handle the whole assembly, coordinate the excavation, and stay on the job through testing and commissioning. Owners get one number to call when something is wrong, instead of an electrician, a concrete sub and a lighting vendor each blaming the other two.

From the ground up

What a pole project actually includes

Select a stage to see what happens at that level of the assembly.

GRADE 1 2 3 4

Everything above ground depends on what is under it. We coordinate the excavation, set the anchor bolt cage and place the foundation to suit the pole height, the wind loading and the soil on your site.

  • Pole foundations and bases
  • Excavation coordination
  • Anchor bolt patterns
  • Base plate and grouting

Trenching, conduit and the wire that ties the pole back to a panel. This is the part owners never see and the part that causes the most problems later when it was done badly.

  • Trenching
  • Conduit
  • Underground wiring
  • Electrical feeders
  • Pull boxes and junctions
  • Restoration after backfill

Setting the new pole, or pulling the old one and matching what stands beside it. Height, arm length, bolt circle and finish all get checked against the existing run before anything is ordered.

  • New light pole installation
  • Existing pole replacement
  • Damaged pole replacement
  • Parking lot poles
  • Area lighting poles
  • Roadway and site poles
  • Decorative poles where applicable

Wire up through the shaft, fuse the hand hole, mount the head and point it where the light is actually needed. Aiming is what separates an even lot from one with hot spots and dark gaps.

  • Pole wiring
  • LED pole-top fixtures
  • Fixture installation
  • Fixture aiming
  • In-line fusing
  • Photocells and controls

Power up, verify the circuit, confirm the controls switch on schedule and walk the site after dark to check the coverage against what was designed.

  • Testing and commissioning
  • Circuit and feeder verification
  • Control and photocell checks
  • After dark coverage walk

Parking lot light poles across a retail lot

Parking lot poles

Square and round shafts on concrete bases, spaced for even coverage across the lot.

Why poles come down in South Florida

Light pole bent at the base after a vehicle strike in a commercial parking lot

Vehicle strikes

The most common call. We handle the removal, the new base if the anchor bolts sheared, and documentation for the insurance claim.

Storm and wind damage

Bent shafts, lost fixture heads and poles that shifted on the base. After a storm we prioritize lots that are dark and open to the public.

Base corrosion

Salt air and standing water eat the anchor bolts and the bottom of the shaft. A pole can look fine from the road and be unsafe at the base.

Failed underground wiring

Water in the conduit and corroded splices take out a whole section of a lot. Replacing fixtures will not fix it.

Pole Inspections

Your recertification looks at the parking lot lighting

Miami-Dade and Broward have required building recertification for decades, and Florida’s 2022 milestone law moved many properties earlier: condominium and co-op buildings three stories and taller are inspected at 30 years, or 25 years near the coast where the local agency requires it, then every 10 years after that. Both counties’ packages include an electrical safety inspection and a parking lot illumination certification signed and sealed by a licensed engineer. Your poles, fixtures, circuits and light levels sit inside that scope, and in South Florida the poles are usually what fails it.

Why South Florida poles fail

  • Salt air and humidity attack the base plate and anchor bolts first, where nobody looks
  • Water gets in at the hand hole and corrodes from the inside out, so a pole can look sound at eye level and be gone at the base
  • Concrete and aluminum poles are not immune: grout cracks, bolts rust and fixture arms work loose
  • A leaning or rusted pole is a wind-event liability long before an inspector writes it up
  • Lights that have been out for months also fail the illumination side of the same inspection

What we check on every pole

  • Base plate, anchor bolts, nuts and grout
  • Corrosion at grade and just below it
  • Hand hole, cover and internal condition
  • Pole plumb, lean and foundation setting
  • Fixture, arm and mounting hardware
  • Wiring, fuse holders, splices and grounding
  • Photocell, contactor and time clock operation
  • Night light levels across the lot against the required illumination

You get a written report with photos, a repair or replace call on each pole, and pricing to correct what gets flagged, so the electrical and illumination pages of your recertification are not what holds up the sign-off.

Inspection deadlines vary by city, county and building type. Confirm your property’s date with your local building department, and we will work to it.

Common questions

Pole work, answered

That is the goal on every replacement. We measure the existing height, arm length, shaft size, bolt circle and finish before quoting. Where an exact match is no longer made, we will show you the closest option and what will look different.

We coordinate the excavation and the trenching as part of the scope. You are hiring one contractor for the foundation, the underground work, the pole and the fixture, not three.

It depends on whether the existing foundation can be reused. If the base and anchor bolts are sound it can be a single visit. If the foundation has to be removed and repoured, there is a concrete cure period between the two trips.

Requirements vary by municipality across Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach. We identify what your jurisdiction requires during the quote so there are no surprises once the trench is open.

Yes. We document the damage with photos, provide an itemized scope and price for the replacement, and can work directly with your adjuster or property manager on the paperwork.

Yes. New installations mean a new foundation, a trench back to a source of power and a feeder with capacity for the load. We check the panel first, because that is what usually decides how many poles can be added.

Start from the ground up.

Send us the property and what you need, whether that is one knocked-down pole or a full run across a new lot. We will walk it and quote the whole assembly.
