We all know that when building a house, the foundation will be built first, so as to better ensure the stability, safety and service life of the house.

Precautions for street light foundation pit:
A. The size of the foundation pit is not fixed and rigid, and it needs to be adjusted appropriately according to the situation of the site address. For example, if the soil is soft 1 meter above the surface, the depth of the foundation pit should also be deepened to ensure its stability.
B. Traditional street lights mostly use colloidal batteries, which are heavy and buried underground. When installing such street lights, it is necessary to dig a pit near the foundation pit to bury the batteries. Now solar street lights mostly use lithium batteries, which are either integrated designs or installed on light poles, without the need to dig additional pits.
C. When digging the foundation pit, other facilities at this location must be confirmed and protected, such as cables, pipes, etc.
Precautions for pouring embedded parts of street light foundation
A. Before pouring, use plastic sheeting or cloth to seal the two ends of the PVC pipe for threading to prevent concrete from entering the pipe and causing blockage.
B. The viscosity of concrete should be moderate, not too thin or too thick;
C. The incoming concrete should be properly delivered according to the number of staff, so as to avoid long waiting time for concrete and affect the quality of base pouring;
D. The foundation pit should be prepared before pouring, such as the height of the foundation pit and whether there are debris. If there are pipelines in the foundation pit, it should be reported in advance and appropriate measures should be taken;
E. After the construction is completed, the residual mud on the positioning plate should be cleaned in time, and the impurities on the bolts should be cleaned with waste oil, or the screws should be wrapped with tape before embedding;
F. During the solidification process of concrete, watering and curing should be carried out on time. The chandelier can only be installed after the concrete is completely solidified (usually 4-7 days).
