Good Afternoon support,
i have a task where the existing rag bolts holding light poles up have seized and are unable to be removed. We will be replacing the pole and light assemblies and are considering using the existing footing as this seems structurally sound.
Would a chemical anchor be sufficient to hold a 6m light pole into a concrete foundation? If so which product should i be looking at for this application?
Hello Darren,
Thank you for reaching out to Hilti.
Using a chemical anchor to secure a 6m light pole into a concrete foundation can probably be a viable solution, provided that the connection has been designed correctly. Chemical anchors are designed to create a strong bond between the
anchor and the concrete, offering excellent load-bearing capacity. At Hilti, we have HIT-RE 500 V4 and HIT-HY 200-R V3 which could potentially be used for this application.
However, in order to determine the right size of the anchor, we need to consider various parameters such as grade of concrete, edge distances, embedment depth, anchor spacing, load capacities, etc. If you require assistance in designing this connection point, please reach out to our Engineering team here >> link.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
