Spunlite Design
- a general guide
General Notes: Design
Every pole we make not only meets the high standards we set for ourselves, but also meets New Zealand and Australian design and construction standards as follows:
| - Structural Design Actions - Steel Structures Standard - Concrete Structures Standard - Hot-dip Galvanised Coatings Standard - Steel Utility Services Poles - Specification For Tubular Steel Lighting Columns - Structural Design Requirements-Utility Services Poles - Steel Structures |
| AS/NZS 1170:2002 NZS 3404:1997 NZS 3101: 2006 AS/NZS 4680:2006 AS/NZS 4677:2010 TNZ M/19:1994 AS/NZS 4676:2000 AS 4100:1998 |
(If required, BS EN 40-3-3-2000 can also be accommodated by design)
General Notes: Foundations
The foundation design is dependent on site ground conditions, therefore Spunlite Poles Ltd cannot accept any legal liability for the use of this information. It is intended as a guide only. If requested, we will design specific foundations for each project. To verify all foundation designs, a geotechnical site evaluation is to be undertaken and an interpretive report issued by a competent Chartered Engineer to determine the suitability of a specific foundation design. The interpretive report should contain details of the site, interpretation of the ground investigation factual report, geotechnical design recommendations (i.e. bearing resistance and characteristic values of soil parameters for ULS and SLS conditions) and advice on any supervision (i.e. during excavation, the site should be checked by a competent engineer to judge that the soil conditions are appropriate and no modification is required).
