Engineering & Structural Documents
Review the supporting engineering documentation for this 60 ft sports light pole using the links below:
Note: Pole engineering can vary by project based on location, required wind speed, mounting configuration, number and type of fixtures, EPA, and other site-specific requirements.
The engineering configuration shown for this 60-foot pole includes:
Pole Height: 60 ftStructure: Tapered Steel MonopoleConstruction: 18-Sided Tapered PoleStructural Sections: 2Steel Grade: A572 Grade 65Design Standard: TIA-222-HBasic Wind Speed: 120 MPHExposure Category: CRisk Category: IITopographic Category: 1Nominal Ice Thickness: 0.75 inWind Speed with Ice: 40 MPHService Deflection Wind: 60 MPHAnalysis Method: Non-Linear P-Delta AnalysisMaximum Structural Rating: 87.5% – PASS
The pole uses a two-section tapered design engineered to handle the significant bending forces generated by high-mounted sports lighting equipment.
The upper section tapers from approximately 10.08" to 6.77", while the lower section tapers from approximately 14.92" to 9.51". The lower pole section uses heavier wall construction to accommodate the increased structural loads near the base.
The analyzed configuration uses a heavy-duty base plate and anchor bolt system designed to transfer the pole's wind and lighting loads into the foundation.
Base Plate Thickness: 1.38"Anchor Bolts: 8Anchor Bolt Diameter: 1.25"Anchor Bolt Grade: F1554-55Anchor Embedment: 42"Bolt Circle Diameter: Approx. 19.29"Specified Concrete Strength: 4,000 PSI
The engineering analysis calculates a maximum overturning moment of approximately 140.87 kip-ft and maximum horizontal reaction of approximately 3.24 kip for the analyzed configuration.
The pole engineering evaluates multiple structural conditions, including:
120 MPH design wind
Wind at 0°, 45° and 90°
Dead load
Wind with ice accumulation
Temperature effects
Service wind conditions
Axial, bending and shear forces
Base reactions
Pole deflection
Base plate capacity
Anchor bolt loading
Combined structural stresses
The analyzed configuration achieved an overall structural rating of 87.5% and PASS status.
Ideal for:
Soccer Fields
Football Fields
Baseball & Softball Fields
Stadiums
Athletic Complexes
School & University Fields
Municipal Sports Facilities
Large Outdoor Areas
Multiple pole layouts and fixture configurations are available. Systems can be designed using 4, 6, 8 or more poles depending on field dimensions, target foot-candle levels, fixture output, mounting height, seating/stands, wind requirements, and other site conditions.
Contact us for a custom lighting layout and pole configuration for your project, all backed by rock-solid 5 year warranty.
Sports lighting poles should be selected and engineered around the actual installation. Requirements can vary based on project location, local wind speed, pole height, fixture quantity, fixture EPA/projected area, mounting configuration, crossbeam design, ice conditions, field dimensions, and target illumination levels.
The engineering information shown above represents the analyzed 60-foot / 120 MPH configuration. Your project requirements and final engineering may differ depending on the installation location and lighting configuration.
