Direct Buried Aluminum Poles
Aluminum poles used in direct buried applications throughout the country have a 60 year record of successful installations and can provide significant overall job savings.
• Eliminates the need for foundations, requiring no Civil Engineer and no PE stamp, resulting in cost savings of $300 – $1000.
• Eliminates the need for bolt circle templates and anchor bolts.
• Speeds up the installation process while eliminating the additional freight charges of anchor bolts shipped in advance.
• Eliminates the use of shims or double nuts for leveling.
• Eliminates improper bolt projections that in many instances result in high and uneven base covers.
• Eliminates the possibility of foundation and anchor bolt replacement in the event of
a knockdown.
• Allows aluminum to be cost competitive with composite and concrete while providing a more appealing and aesthetic appearance.
• Eliminates the possibility of improper pouring/setting of foundation.
• Allows simple future retrofits by eliminating the need to match an existing bolt circle.

• Ground acts as a natural damper, reducing the risk of wind induced vibration.
• Provide greater EPA values than anchor base designs by eliminating the weld joint, offering approximately 18-20% more strength
which in many instances allows a one wall size reduction.
Example…Changing a 7” Dia., 25’ MH, .188” wall, anchor base design to a like pole with a .156 wall, direct buried design allows an approximate $45 price reduction (similar EPA values on both designs).
