Can Your Street Light Poles Withstand High Wind Loads for Coastal or Open Areas?

Can Your Street Light Poles Withstand High Wind Loads for Coastal or Open Areas?

Pole failure in high-wind conditions is a structural engineering problem, not a guessing game — and the right answer always depends on your local wind speed standard and site conditions, not a one-size-fits-all pole spec.

How We Calculate Wind Load

Pole wind load is calculated based on your region's wind speed standard, such as EN 40 (Europe) or AASHTO (North America). From there, we adjust three key variables: pole wall thickness, base plate size, and anchor bolt pattern, to match the structural requirement for your mounting height and fixture weight.

What We Need From You

Please share your local wind load requirement (or your project's wind zone/region) and your planned mounting height so we can confirm the structural calculation before production — this avoids costly redesigns after poles have already shipped.
